Were umpires really biased in today's game?

Looking objectively it was just a wrong No-Ball decision. It was pure bad-luck of Bangladesh, that it resulted in a Not-Out decision. Umpire was guilty of making a wrong no-ball decision, just a no-ball decision. But then in any match there would always is one or two or more questioable decisions around no-ball and wides. So this mistake wasn't much bigger than those mistakes. There were no other issues against Bangla. There was clear not-out decision in favor of Bangladesh. If one team is asked whether they would take one wrong not-out decision of top-order bat in your favor at the cost of one wrong no-ball decision against you, every single team will take that and that's exactly what has happened with Bangladesh.

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.

I recall one of the commentators mentioning that for boundary decisions, if there's inconclusive evidence, then it goes in favour of the fielder

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/250345.html The ICC has clarified that the benefit of doubt will be granted to the fielder in cases of inconclusive evidence over contact with the boundary rope while completing a catch or effecting a run-out. The clarification follows controversy surrounding Mahendra Singh Dhoni's dismissal on the fourth day of the Antigua Test recently. According to the protocol, if the on-field umpires are uncertain, they can refer the decision to the third umpire, whose sole responsibility is to decide whether the boundary was scored. However, if the replays are inconclusive, the benefit of the doubt will be given to the fielder, which means that no boundary will be awarded due to lack of evidence. As no boundary has been scored, the only decision left would be for the on-field umpire to give the batsman out caught. The action was necessitated after Daren Ganga claimed Dhoni's catch at the edge of the mid-wicket boundary but the batsman stood his ground, as there was doubt whether the fielder was touching the boundary rope while taking the catch. However, the TV replays were inconclusive, leading to utter confusion among the players and on-field umpires. Ultimately, Dhoni walked off after Brian Lara told him to take the fielder's word that the dismissal was effected legitimately.
