So @Spark still think the umpiring is not "patriotic" after that Harris call? :laugh:


Its fine, coz when you put home umpires these days and no DRS, it does tend to happen. As I said before, I am not of the opinion that the win/loss results matter as much with A series as they do at the highest level. The A series are just as important to get information about the next line of players to the national side.
If that is indeed the case, the ump would do the opposite tbh

Honestly these accusations of bias in the umpiring are just asinine. As someone who watches a metric shitton of Shield cricket, I can safely say that the odd absolute howler from time to time isn't by any means an uncommon occurrence


The truth of the matter is just that the standard of domestic umpiring in this country simply just isn't very good

Nothing new . Look at Punter cheating during 2007-08 tour . Australia had won Sydney rest due to umpires.
