***Official*** England in India 2016/17

[Compton]

Nah it's ****.

There's no place in the game for the sort of public calling-out of an umpire that happened after the last match.

 

[Jono]

Would have thought those call him a terrible umpire after the 2nd T20 would be delighted by this, apparently that's all it was so surely removing an incompetent official is what we want? The poor little BCCI must be the victims though, so the narrative changes.

End doesn't justify the means and I think you know that.

 

[91Jmay]

End doesn't justify the means and I think you know that.

If the governing bodies lack the competence to do their jobs it absolutely does. If they back him they should say so publicly, if they don't they should have removed him. He was likely extremely embarrassed by his performance so did the correct thing.

 

[Furball]

There should be accountability for making disgraceful decisions.

 

[centurymaker]

Good news from an Indian perspective, although it's horrible what's happened
In this game, he was possibly going to be so hesistant in giving any Englishmen out and possibly be ultra aggressive in giving the Indian batsmen out. Good news.

 

[Jono]

Belittlement of Aleem Dar by the Aussies after Broad was given not out when he smashed it until he stepped down would have presumably been fine then.

 

[Niall]

Pant.

Accountability exists, there is a reason why some Umpires are in the Elite panel and majority are not.

 

[Jono]

Haha the smirk on Ewahhoin Morgan's face just then was pretty funny. He's got his man.

 

[Shri]

Wtf? Let Pant open ffs. Kohli should bat at 3 .

 

[Stapel]

Indications are that the Indian umpire has stepped down from the third T20. Not a great result.

&

Umpire C Shamsuddin has said he's not feeling 100% and will not be one of the two on-field umpires today,

Possibly, he is simply not feeling 100%. Who knows.

Apart from that, umpires do make wrong, or even horrible, decisions now and then. Making two mistakes in 40 overs is not per se that bad. Missing an inside edge when adjudging a btasman LBW, is a very common mistake, isn't it? I'm a bit surprised to see this boiling over.

 

[Compton]

There should be accountability for making disgraceful decisions.

You mean by the report to the match referee?

 

[Compton]

Morgan's polite smile during the national anthem is awful

 

[Jono]

Wtf? Let Pant open ffs. Kohli should bat at 3 .

Can't have your pants up too high

 

[Jono]

I swear to God he did that like 3 times in the first over, wtf Kohli.

 

[Compton]

Hahahaha Kohli you ****.

 

[mackembhoy]

Ahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahyahahahahahahahhahahahhwhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahshahahah


Mans a complete knob

 

[91Jmay]

Kohli the idiot run himself out, clearly no run. Then blames the non striker, someone needs to tell him to **** right off at some point. He blames his team mates for his **** judge of a single so often.

 

[Shri]

**** off and go back to 3 Kohli you ****.

 

[mackembhoy]

That is one of my favourite wickets ever.

I hate him more than Warner and Smith.

Was it not LBW? I'd have given that.
