The last Ashes without referrals – a running tally of umpiring errors

[sledger]

I'm relying on TMS here btw - but the commentators certainly agree with you that he was lucky.

He was, can see why it wasn't given though.

 

[pasag]

Doesn't look like he'll make England pay for it though, the way things are going.

North sawn off, LBW to Swann in the 1st innings at the Oval despite big edge

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, Northy's was a real shocker.

 

[Jamee999]

That's a shocker.

 

[sledger]

Haha, at first look I thought it was given for LBW, that's how bad a decision that was.

 

[Uppercut]

Ohh jesus. That's arguably the worst yet.

 

[sledger]

Ohh jesus. That's arguably the worst yet.

Haha I can't believed the players even appealed for it tbh, unless they were also after the LBW.

 

[Uppercut]

Haha how close was the lbw shout? Have only seen it once.

 

[Matt79]

Cue: years and years of animosity towards the English players involved for being "cheats" for appealing in a highly pressurised and emotional environment. Can't imagine such an event ever happening if Australia was in the field...

 

[Johnners]

Ohh jesus. That's arguably the worst yet.

Still think Bowden has him covered with the no-ball that was a foot over the line (slight exaggeration)

 

[sledger]

Haha how close was the lbw shout? Have only seen it once.

Was missing by quite a bit by the looks of things, but hit him right in front right on the knee role so can see why they would have asked for it.

Collingwood 2nd innings at the Oval - out off another no ball

 

[GIMH]

Just seen the Clark dismissal, one of the worst of all-time.

His reaction not too clever though. Have seen Pietersen fined for less.

Poor Stueh knows he probably won't be picked again, so he won't give a **** if they suspend him or sommat.

Don't think it was actually, thought his heel landed first behind the line then went forward.

Deserves to be out for playing a bouncer so gheyly though.

Thanks - I didn't see it, tbh - went by what they were saying on the radio.

I hate when they show you a still frame of the bowler's foot over the line and act like it somehow proves it was a no-ball.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Feck. Just saw Clark's dismissal. Honestly reckon we were appealing for LBW initially. Genuinely think it's the most a "catch" has ever missed the bat by for an upheld appeal I've ever seen. Woeful, woeful stuff.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

I actually thought the Clark one was clearly out live in real time. I even shouted "Just walk Stuart, you know you hit it..." at the TV. So I have some sympathy with the umpire.

Yet I also thought North was not out in real time. Odd.
