Shocking decision by Javed Akhtar against Tendulkar

[Gambit]

eoMv7UnEStg I'm sure most of you have seen it but it's just astounding to give an LBW decision when the all of the following happens: - Bowler bowls around the wicket - Ball pitches outside the leg stump - Hits SRT above the knee roll - Impact outside the off stump :confused_smile:

Its a shame. A faaking shame. What a way to end one of the best innings cricket has ever seen.

a decision unforgetable.. infact the whole tournament is unforgettable.. even azharuddin was robbed if u remeber..

Sachin would have won us that match had he not been given out. We reqd something like 32 off 19 balls then. What an innings ! What a player !

what's wrong with you guys ? We won this game. This is Sharjah Cup final's. http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/65774.html @topic: decision was crap. but back then umpiring standards were really low compared to today's. Btw, during this series, i was in my village and for some reason our cable operator chose to black out Star sports. So i traveled 40 mins away from my village (to ANAND) where my cousin's use to live. Boy oh Boy, it was WORTH going there. Thanks Sachin!

^ Oh i thought it was the previous game. Thanks for the correction.

isn't this the same umpire who gave a shocking decision against G Thrope in the world cup game against IND?

so what, that decision can be excused. but giving tendulkar out in this fashion is not acceptable :finger::P

That is the worst decision I've seen, edited by Cricketics - when quoting make sure don't quote along with the video..

His slog sweep is unigue, 3rd one was debut match against Brett lee

Its really not easy to hit a SLOG SWEEP vs pace bowlers. We are not talking about subcontinental pace. He hit shots vs quality pace of BOND, Johnson, LEE. you need very good eye and body co-ordination to hit these kinda shots.... they're really eye-soothing shots. I followed his batting in CW series, he has good skills but less temperament. Thats the reason he was not picked

[Dravid]

he got mcggy too... then mcggy got him in the face :D
