He needs to make a century.

Yeah, I realise that. Would be nice to be the first person to 12,000 test runs and 40 test centuries in the same innings.

Ok, that might've been even worse than Bucknor's third call on Symonds back in January...

 

[Precambrian]

Rudi, What a surprise.

Not the decision itself, because it wasn't possible to tell in teal time. But the decision not to call the third umpire was shocking.

 

[Cevno]

His foot was first grounded first in the crease and then went up in the air .And then when the bails were completely dislodged it was ver close to being grounded again.
Would have been a tough one for the third umpire.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Haha r00di. Sack him.

 

[Precambrian]

I think there is another pair of oldies who should seek retirement before the Fab 4. Bucknor and Rudi.

Why is everyone trying to make Mitchell Johnson look like Glenn McGrath? Crazy wafts.

 

[pup11]

Poor Whitey robbed of a wicket there.

Should have been asked though.

Personally, I blame Haddin. A Gilchristian appeal there would've gotten the 3rd umpire.

And Cevno, you're kidding. It would have been a tough one for the umpire on the field but for the 3rd, was pretty conclusive. We've definitely not heard the last of this one.

Umpiring mistakes are one thing, shocking ones are quite another, but ICC's lethargic response has been the worst.

Ponting has to put in 23 overs in max of 75 minutes.

I think Rudi saw the foot in, but he didn't see the foot go back up in the air after it was in, which is what did it. IMO, the wicketkeeper is usually pretty sure, and if player referrals had been in, I'm sure that would have been referred.

Don't want to open up an old can of worms but the "human error is good for the game" line wheeled out after Sydney applies here too. If the Aussie team want to be consistent they'll accept it and move on.

That line of reasoning is complete bollocks. It was then, and it is now. I want to get the right result in the match, and one decided by players, not old guys with hats.

 

[Precambrian]

Gangs get 7k! Congrats.

Which of the Aussie team said that? I don't remember, myself. If they did, well, you're right.

I think you'll find that it's not the Australians who continuously dredge up ancient history

 

[silentstriker]

All right guys, let's not go there.
