2nd Match - Australia v England

[MW1304]

Shaaambles umps.

I guess Bumble will clear it all up.

Strange ending to a game.

 

[Spark]

those last three balls in general though

 

[weldone]

The ball was dead as soon as the umpire gave out. This is poor umpiring.

 

[harsh.ag]

WTF!! That is not out!!!

 

[Spikey]

i guess he could have hit the stumps before it was actually given but im pretty sure they didnt even check that so **** that

 

[Jarquis]

Ball flicks the pad and goes to the fine leg boundary. Batsman is given out but reviews. Turns out he hit it, is he credited with four runs?

 

[grecian]

Farce.

 

[Bahnz]

Ah what an awful effort from the umpires (or maybe the rule-makers if the umpires were correct).

 

[andmark]

Ridiculous. You can apparently get out twice in the same bowl these days.

 

[Neil Pickup]

3.6 Dead ball

a) If following a Player Review request, an original decision of ‘Out’ is changed to ‘Not Out’, then the ball is still deemed to have become dead when the original decision was made (as per Law 23.1(a)(iii)). The batting side, while benefiting from the reversal of the dismissal, will not benefit from any runs that may subsequently have accrued from the delivery had the on-field umpire originally made a ‘Not Out’ decision, other than any No Balls penalty that could arise under 3.3 (g) above.

Time for unemployment. This is incompetent.

 

[wpdavid]

Dharmasena you absolute fraud of a man.

Send him home on the same boat as our top 5.

[Johnners]

so confused

 

[_Ed_]

That is horribly unfair. Feel for Taylor - deserved a maiden ODI ton.

 

[Redbacks]

Taylor was robbed

 

[Cabinet96]

This is like when Gibbs got sent of v Chelsea. Slightly overshadows a shambles of a team performance hopefully.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I hope England make an official complaint and the umpires are stopped from umpiring ANY matches in the knockout stages as they don't deserve to do any. Doubt they will have any penalty though and may end up with the final.

No chance to pore over replay, but press-box suggestion is Anderson out, rather than dead ball, because lbw decision after the direct hit.
