Nice cherry on top. Can we get neutral on-field/ third umpires for next game and put an end to this circus?

There are no floodlights present at the stadium. Instead, there’s a ring of LED lights, 580 of them, to illuminate the world’s largest stadium for any action during the night time. It will be one of the first cricket stadiums in India to have this feature instead of the traditional floodlights at every cricket ground.

Lol nerd

 

[Senile Sentry]

The stadium looks absolutely swank. Especially at night.

But how can we not find competent 3rd umpires? You can practically follow an instruction manual and give more objective decisions.

Crowdsource the third umpire

Shamsuddin did not make a single wrong decision yesterday, the English are having a moan because he made the right decisions very quickly.

But it's a fair gripe. You should take advantage of all the angles available. Wrong decisions were certainly made in last game.

Today we may have a fist fight between umpires and Eng players if things don't go their way .

Yeah but it's also important to consider the optics given there aren't any neutral umpires. I think you should go through the whole process. The appearance of fairness is very important as well.

Sure, I posted the same thing many pages ago, but to call an umpire incompetent for making the right decisions quickly is ridiculous. In what other walk of life you would say that?

Just because the English think he's being unfair/incompetent doesn't suddenly make it true. Don't suddenly go insulting the umpire for something at stupid as this. Wait till he actually ****s up.

 

[Daemon]

Aren’t we always whinging about how third umpires take way too long for straightforward decisions

 

[cnerd123]

England's overrate yesterday was atrocious as well. Shamsuddin was probably doing them a favor by trying to speed the game along. If they rather get docked WTC points then I'm sure that's fine by him too.

My comment has nothing do with what English think ftr.

Was it the same the 3rd umpire in the last game?

believe it was Anil Chaudhary last game, who is on-field this game. He's the one who missed the ball hitting glove during a review because he didn't watch it all the way through.

 

[honestbharani]

And Chaudhary proved in the last game itself that it was incompetence and not bias.

like ask the audience in who wants to be a millionaire

 

[Ashwinashwath]

All these are rub of the green in favour of India. There are times when Great Britain supporters benefit from such close calls too. Let's not beat about the bush too hard blaming these small blemishes. Overall the bigger boy in the business - team India has given a sound thrashing and you guys were able to manage a lone victory infact drew first blood against a superior team is creditable. Be happy on that account.

To be fair, there are plenty of jobs where you can get in trouble for not being thorough and following protocol, even if you get the right result. Unless he's the best 3rd umpire ever, if he keeps making decisions after only a quick look at some it's bound to lead to an unnecessary mistake. There was an error last match precisely because the 3rd umpire rushed it. I can see why pundits might comment and maybe the coach behind closed doors may have something to say.

Doesn't excuse the onfield behaviour from the England players, obviously.

 

[GIMH]

Complaints about the method at which umpire decisions are made at are so obviously valid, in particular when they aren't neutral. The fact the calls appear to have been right is obviously not the point because you continue the same inconsistent approach then the next one could be costly. It's not rocket science and avoiding this point is just obfuscation. I've had a word with the mods and it'll be instant bans today for anyone supporting low quality umpiring.
