Sick Sick.. Umpiring or … ?
Sep 22
Today as I am watching this match between India and Australia all I have to ask is how sick and low grade umpiring can go? I didn’t see the whole match but the part that I saw they were horrible.
Some examples
- Sachin Tendulkar is given out then again Umpire calls him back and says no you are not out (Fact he was not out).
- Australian fielders appeal for a run out and the Leg umpires ask the 3rd Umpire. It was clearly not out but he presses the red button then again he presses the Green Button (he would have said ooooops ).
- M.S Dhoni is given caught out on a no ball. Yes it was a No Ball as the baller stepped miles away from the crease and umpire didn’t call it a no ball.
- Then there was a ball by Hogg which was a 4 wide i.e. (1ball+1run+4runs) but umpire signalled it a 4 i.e. (- 1ball , -1 run) .
- Harbhajan Singh was given out. He was clearly not out, SNICKO meter showed no sound which means the ball never touched the bat.
So all I ask is wth?? is going on. Is it poor quality of umpiring or are they sold out??
India Lost Royaly!!!Â
Cooooool jeba cooooooooool….
I am glad India lost. Now I will not waste another day watching another match hoping for India to win! Since last some time, we are again back to our old days of spineless performances. Foreign coaches and modern technology has no bearing on our performances! It remains what it was 10 years ago.
Umpiring is just one of the things. 2 out of 10 got bad decisions. What were the other 7 doing?
PS: My maths is not bad. 2 + 7 + Sachin = 10
Well, to err is to human.
Hmm… cool Analysis!! May be u can umpire the next match!

I think the 3d Umpire probably mixed up the buttons and pressed the wrong button.
Decisions did go against India, but they lost as they deserved to loose.
Dhoni threw his wicket away just like he did in the previous match.
Shewag keeps getting bowled in the same manner repeatedly. Wonder what the coach is doing.
Agarkar has simply lost it when it comes to batting, and that does make the tail long.
Add to that the fact that Dravid is out of form ( no 50 for 9 matches).
They couldnt even play 50 overs in the last 2 matches.
It would have been unfair if India managed to win with performance like this. They were lucky that Lara allowed them to win in the previous match by messing with the batting order.
I agree to pally in some way.. India had a horrible show yesterday.. but I guess if the Umpires didn’t err the win would have been ours..
