Rough decision in your first innings must be shattering.

Hopefully Irfan's tail is up now. That being said, after he got a first over hattrick vs. Pakistan, you'd think he'd be full of confidence. He didn't do much after that

Tail very much erect atm

 

[Laurrz]

oh damn Jaques was my entertainer.. now Punter and Huss its all about work

 

[NUFAN]

Pretty good ball to get Jaques. Not the best shot though.

 

[Prince EWS]

You don't have a problem with LBWs that are going down the legside being given? Thank God you're not an umpire.

May have been going down leg, as I said, but I think it probably would have hit. It was full, Pathan was swinging it away and Rogers had shuffled across slightly. I wouldn't have complained if it was given not out, but I don't have too many issues with that being given.

rauf trying to even up the bad decisions between the sides..probably because he doesn't want to be called biased...

It wasn't too different to the Johnson dismissal of Pathan.

Just feels worse given that it's a top order batsmen.

 

[duffer]

Feel sorry for Rogers to cop one like that on debut. In defence of Rauf you could sort of see a bit of leg stump at impact so that may have done him in.

 

[Top_Cat]

Jaques out swinging with no footwork outside off-stump. Good Lord I'm....... surprised.

Or not.

Nah, Johnson's ball to Pathan was definitely out IMO. A lot more doubt over the Rogers one, but I certainly wouldn't say it was a stinker of a decision.

 

[Laurrz]

if we get a pship it should be a big one i feel

Haha particularly since he's Pakistani.

That being said, I wish it was Ponting or Hussey. Rogers on debut doesn't quite equal a well set Sachin

 

[James90]

Rogers was probably not out and certainly unlucky but it looked like it straightened more than it actually did. Rogers' head was nowhere near the ball either and he was falling across. Not the worst decision I've seen.

 

[Top_Cat]

Yep, I reckon you're right. Next wicket to fall tomorrow.

 

[duffer]

Oooh a bit loose from Huss there.

 

[Anil]

yeah, he was shuffling across and the leg stump was visible, that might have been the reason for the decision...

 

[Evermind]

Seems Rauf's problem is just that he's incompetent, and shouldn't be umpiring at test match level.

Yep! As duffer and I had confirmed before the series. And if I'm not wrong, the last few times I'd seen him, he had been pretty LBW-happy.

 

[GotSpin]

Had no problems with that LBW.

 

[sideshowtim]

Come on Punter. Please get a big one. Please please please please.

 

[Evermind]

Nah, Johnson's ball to Pathan was definitely out IMO. A lot more doubt over the Rogers one, but I certainly wouldn't say it was a stinker of a decision.

Huh? The hawkeye disagrees on both counts. Pathan was outside the crease, Rogers was caught on it. Both decisions are dubious, but the Pathan one a lot more so.

 

[Jono]

Come on Punter. Please get a big one. Please please please please.

You're 2-0 up in the series and you're begging?
