***Official*** India in Australia

[anoop4real]

Haha, Nine. Show every angle but the one that should have seen him fired. Well done.

Luck is with Australia in the form of umpires....

 

[Craig]

I hope India get fined because of this slow over rate.

 

[duffer]

Umpiring is a bigger issue than over rates. Sor that out first.

That's a red herring. As long as Tests are getting results before five days are up - what's the issue?

 

[Evermind]

Time for Brett Lee's 50!

 

[LJMJ]

An absolutely shocking day of cricket. More than 100 runs scored on the backs of umpiring blunders alone. Ponting was OUT below 20 and went on to make 50+. Symonds has received 3 lives in his innings thus far. He was initially out in his 20s or 30s I believe. Was stumped a short while later. Just survived a plumb lbw against Kumble. This day has been an absolute JOKE. India better receive some lives tomorrow.

 

[roseboy64]

Tendulkar not doing too bad.

 

[pup11]

Binger also going on the charge now!

 

[Craig]

So what is Symonds' First Chance Average now?

 

[Arrow]

So are you saying the indian players always walk when they are out? Not given out but get an edge?

Double standards

Where did I mention indians? Im speaking generally. If you dont go when you know ur out then thats like saying its ok to cheat as long as the umpires dont notice. In any sport.

'Bout 20. Was plumb lbw during his first test ton as well.

 

[Turbinator]

I hope the stupid Umpires get fined!

 

[Perm]

Are the umpires actually accountable for their performances. Cos I just keep seeing the same ones making the same mistakes match after match.

Fair call, not sure if any action will be taken in relation to substandard umpiring though.

 

[Craig]

I think we should get Richard to create a thread with all players FCA.

I hope Bucknor shown the door .Why should ICC continue umpires without eyesight and hearing .

 

[Prince EWS]

I think we should get Richard to create a thread with all players FCA.

The big problem with FCA is the fact that we often don't have sufficient data for it.

Everything else can still be somehow excused but error in judgement on the part of the 3rd umpire is just inexcusable.

Yeah when I saw the "Not Out", I was about to throw something at my 62 inch!

That would make a lot of sportsman cheats, soccer players taking a dive for example

A lot of cricketers leave it to the umpire and feel these things even out in the end

As they say the only time an Aussie walks is when his car has broken down

If a player gets out from the wrong decision is that considered like a not out in the FCA system?

Prince, you should record Mitchell Johnson FCA for his career..
