***Official*** India in Australia

Spot on.

Will be interesting to see if the Indian media react in the same way against their own team. The Aussies have been victims of 2 poor decisions at a vital time in the match. The Indians were the victims of 1 and still had a hissy fit.
Your probably the most biased aussie poster I've ever encountered on these boards. In real time, even you probably would've given that out, although knowing your bias in your posts maybe not.

Not too fussed about the umpiring. We had some luck in Sydney - India have had some today, but honestly, the game was well and truly in their hands already. Its not worth getting upset about, because as was mentioned about 6000 times in the past couple of weeks, THESE THINGS EVEN OUT IN THE END.
True - tell it to the BCCI.

And, let's not forget, even if Australia lose this game, they can't lose the series. Bit different to the situation in Sydney.

Have you ever umpired? Geniune question.

Fiery would be loving this, in the land of being banned.
i've never umpired at any senior level. Umpired once or twice at junior level, which i know is completely different. These blokes are getting paid alot of money to do a job though, and they aren't doing it.

At a vital time I meant. Not getting Symo at 6/180 or whatever it was isn't a vital time at the match.

The Dravid one was at a vital time and the Indians went nuts. We've had 2 at a very vital time.
DWTA.

If he had been given out India probably would have rolled Australia for less then 220-250 max.

What are you talking about? Looked dead in real time.
Of course it did - from 120 metres away, not 1 metre away like the keeper & close fielders, or 20 metres away where the bowler and umpire were.

In any event my comment wasn't about the decision, it was about the vociferously appealing perpetrator of the "it's not cricket to appeal when you know it's not out" comment we had after Sydney.

With the LBWS having umpired I can understand that there are times where it's hard to know the exact height of a ball and an LBW decision just going over the stumps like Hussey is understandable that an umpire would give it out.

I just don't understand how Cricket Umpires don't realize a batsmen has hit the ball. I know in the Cricket I've umpired the bowlers have been slower and the game is slightly less important, but still I can't believe it.

Umpires should go back to the olden days and stay further from the stumps, cause they are spending too much time looking to see if the bowler has bowled a no ball.

It wasn't as obvious as you say it was. It was a ridiculously late edge too.
