goose Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 The batsman had already left the ground by the time the decision was given which could have prompted the third umpire to give the decision in favor of the fielder. No defence...take control of the situation, TELL the batsman to hold on, instead of standing there like a gormless fool. UMPIRE the game.
admin420 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Yes Zimbabwe have been robbed of a deserving win due to the incompetency of the third umpire.
Sid Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 The batsman in question wasnt even interested to stay in the middle and wait for the decision,so dont know whats the fuss about.
Pagalpanti Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 The batsman in question wasnt even interested to stay in the middle and wait for the decision' date='so dont know whats the fuss about.[/quote'] Im guessing the batsman didn't knew a review was taking place. Otherwise why would umpires allow the new batsman to take guard? It was only when the bowler was going to begin his run up did the 3rd umpire inform the on-field umpire that the review was taking place. Once again highlights the lack of communication between 3rd ump and on-field umpires. I remember a ball not being bowled in Ind innings vs Pak. Everyone in comm box was talking about, but the 3rd umpire who could've easily just radio'ed the on-field umpire chose not to. Or the 4-5 no-balls that were missed in Zim v Pak game.

Not plausible I think.3rd umpire cant review decision on his own discretion.If that was happening there was no need of DRS and the fecking umpires call. Itr was just foolish on the part of Sean to walk back to the dressing room.
Guldozer Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Anyone who thinks that was out is blind. It was a clear, clear six. I also highly doubt that the fielder didn't realise.
Guldozer Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 And regarding the batsmen going off the field, isn't it the job of the umpire to let the batsmen know that the decision has been referred to the 3rd umpire?
yoda Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Anyone who thinks that was out is blind. It was a clear, clear six. I also highly doubt that the fielder didn't realise. Clear, clear six? Really? Is that why they showed the replay a zillion times from a million angles? It was close and wasn't conclusive.
adi B Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Wasn't Williams already walking towards the pavilion without waiting
jf1gp_1 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 It's amusing how many 3rd umpire have got wrong. Umar Akmal against was poor but rahane yesterday was shocking haven't seen today's but there are a few more which they got wrong
Guldozer Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Clear' date=' clear six? Really? Is that why they showed the replay a zillion times from a million angles? It was close and wasn't conclusive.[/quote'] The boundary rope clearly moved. If that isn't clear then I don't know what is. The only reason the decision didn't get overturned was that the new batsmen was already on the crease.

Wonder how much of this concern is because Zimbabwe got wronged or its just u guys *****in ur pants over the prospect of Ireland knocking u out again.. :giggle:
Zelig Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 It was not clear. :dontknow: Zim should have still won it had Chakabva and Mupariwa kept their cool.
Guldozer Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 Wonder how much of this concern is because Zimbabwe got wronged or its just u guys *****in ur pants over the prospect of Ireland knocking u out again.. :giggle: Lol no I'm actually sad for Zimbabwe. They have been extremely unlucky in this tournament. And I have enough faith in the Pakistan team to beat Ireland so I'm not too worried about the result of this match; though it would have been better if Zimbabwe won.
