There were 1-2 wrong wides called in the MI innings. 18.1 Sharma to Rayudu, 1 wide, away-swinging delivery from well outside off for a wide 18.1 Sharma to Rayudu, 1 run, slower legcutter moving away from back of length, cut towards cover point for one SANGHAVI: "This is were Dhoni is so good...pulling things back.. Rohit was not able to do that against RCB" 18.2 Sharma to Pollard, no run, quicker at 137kph outside off with some outswing, he swings hard and misses! 18.3 Sharma to Pollard, FOUR, swings on the other side now - slower ball outside off but Pollard reached out for it and slogged it with a lot of power to the wide long on boundary. Jadeja ran to his left and got a hand but that rocketed past him 18.4 Sharma to Pollard, 1 wide, that was too close to the white line outside off as it moved away, but rightly called wide as Pollard swung and missed 18.4 Sharma to Pollard, 1 run, hammers the short ball down to long on with a pull for one 18.5 Sharma to Rayudu, OUT, the slower ball works again. It was 106.4kph, Rayudu slogged it high on the leg side and Raina made sure he got his hands and body under it at long on to take it safely AT Rayudu c Raina b Sharma 10 (8b 1x4 0x6) SR: 125.00 CSK pulling things back again, Pollard still there 18.6 Sharma to Pollard, 1 wide, 139.3kph, Pollard misses again as the ball swings away from outside off, called a wide this time. Maybe a bit harsh 18.6 Sharma to Pollard, SIX, he doesn't miss the slower balls. This one at 104kph outside off, Pollard swings his arms to slog it on the leg side and clears wide long on for another six If I remember correctly, the obvious wrong calls for a wide were 18.6. Then one of the other two could have been wides. For 18.6, an extra run was awarded for the wide. And a six was hit off the extra ball. That is 7 runs total. The other wide (18.1 or 18.4) is disputed IIRC but let's say it was a wrong call. In either case (18.1 or 18.4), an extra run was awarded for the wide. And a single was taken off the extra ball. That is 2 runs extra. 7 runs + 2 runs = 9 runs MI won by 25 runs, not 9 runs. So the 1-2 wides were not game changing errors. Anyway wides are a judgmental call for the umpires and such mistakes occur very often. Let's say in a World Cup final, a team loses by 7 runs. If there was 1 wide called wrongly in that innings and a six was hit off the next ball, you can't blame the umpire for the loss. As for the atrocious LBW decisions, this wasn't the first time such an error occurred. Get DRS in IPL or don't whine about human error. Anyway Dwayne Smith wasn't going to win the match for them. Even if he could have, you can't call it a fixed match just because of such a small issue.

if we were chasing 180 it doent mean we necessarily might have lost this game by 16 runs :hmmm: and once smith is set , he can take apart any bowling ,, his record is too good at mumbai

No it doesn't mean you would have lost by 16 runs. But those are intangible constants that can not be calculated, such as 9 runs less of scoreboard pressure, luck etc. Dwayne Smith is one of the biggest hacks in international cricket right now... He averages 30 in Wankhede. That isn't a spectacular average IMO, over 12 matches (many of which were played for MI, so he didn't face the MI bowling attack at Wankhede much either). http://www.howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/IPL/PlayerGrounds.asp?PlayerID=3157 And current form matters a lot more than past records. For example, Jadeja averages 34 at Eden Gardens. If he got out to a wrong decision at Eden Gardens and CSK loses by 34 runs, you can't say that CSK lost because of the wrong decision. Dwayne Smith's form this IPL has been woeful, to say the least. Average of 23 with an SR of 118.

My brother had a long face and didn't talk to anyone for a while after the match. Indeed chuski are sore lower.

Dwayne Smith dismissal was actually a blessing in disguise for CSK. The way he has been batting of late, he would have played out two maiden overs and CSK would have lost by 40 runs.
