Were umpires really biased in today's game?

No more like bad umpiring, aleem dar and steve davis are two of the worst umpires in the circuit.Aleem dar just goes by his instinct and davis seriously has problems.

It is silly to suggest that umpires would be blatantly biased towards one team where the match is a high-profile event being watched by millions. These are human errors, though I wonder whether the scope of DRS can be expanded to look into it.

No bias lol only two decisions were questionable one. Rohit got out to a noball which is strictly not a noball. A rank full toss should have landed somewhere outside the stadium. But ball started at chest height, but it rapidly got low possibly just below hip. Dar immediately called noball. Rohit holed out . .. First of all if the ball had gone for six things would have been normal lol. But since he was out bangbros are jumping up and down. Dar called it a noball around the time Rohit receieved it. How would he know Rohit would get out in that ball :hysterical: Second one is Imrul Keyes literally hit the ball, slips were appealing. But MS Tony did nothing. Whatever reason umpire didn't give that out Those are the only 2.. Everything else is nonesense.

Not biased, but BD bore the brunt of the bad umpiring. Rohit' non-dismissal - wouldn't have hurt, India would still change plans with Dhoni/Raina and would have scored close to 300. There was doubt in Dhawan's catch, when he caught it the 2nd time, the backside of the foam seemed to move. Didn't see the LBW, but DRS is same for everybody..if it sucks, it does because of umpire's call.

Was the no-ball really a howler or even poor umpiring? If the waist high no-ball did not lead to a catch most commentators would probably be saying fair enough or marginal call. What's the rule anyway? i think it was over waist high when Rohit met the ball but probably dipping to below waist high by the time the ball reached the stumps.

From what i saw that catch was legit. Skirt would move typically. It didn't . There was no part of boundary that was blocked by his feet. In such a scenario where you cannot prove he was touching the rope or moving it exactly at the time when he had ball in his hand, benefit of doubt goes to fielder. You have to take fielder's word. That is how cricket has been for decades. In this case there is zero evidence to suggest he touched the border.

I think Ball rapidly dipped.. That is why Rohit was in slighly crouched stance when he met the ball. It started definitely above waist. Probably a slower full toss? Not sure.. It was not a howler by any means. lot of noballs were not given as well.. Few went over the head.

Yah they were .. they didn't give Tamim Iqbal N.O. when he clearly nicked it. Raina was N.O since portion of the ball pitched outside so third umpire according to the rule had to go with the field umpire. Rohit was 50/50 but the runs made by him later on didn't really matter as BD didn't past 200 .. no player made more than 35 ... if it was a close match then may be BD team had a point. But on the whole Umpiring was biased against India ,, as a clear out decision went against them.

anybody got stills of the rohit ball? One thing is clear it was not that much of a howler as the BD players make it out to be. IMO it was slightly below waist height. But its not as if it was at his knees.

Absolutely not.. I have seen far worse calls. It became an issue because he got out. Also Bangladesh fans have practiced the art of blaming umpires for years. They always make that as a focal point after every loss. Just a coping mechanism to deal with failures.

when that no-ball call was made? By all accounts those i read and heard that was a questionable call. But it is of interest when Aleem Dar made that call? was it when ball had already got in air or immediately when ball reached Rohit?

theres a fine line between fans saying "poor umpiring" and "biased umpiring".those who are sore losers will say the latter one. today was a case of poor,incompetent umpiring which dar is for the last 4 years or so

Rohit's no ball - marginal call. It could have gone either way. Umpire thought it was a no ball and his decision is final. Lbw - clearly pitched outside leg. Dhawan catch - Replays showed it was legitimate. BD fans should stop being cry babies and move on. It will just make them look like sore losers.

call was made well before catch was taken.
