I got as far as "Symonds nicked one to first slip", and then gave up reading. It was a thickish edge but not quite that thick.

This is really ironic how the salary umpires get from ICC is basically money from BCCI( and other subcontient teams) and at the same time they make decisions against these teams. I hope Indian public pressures BCCI to call off this tour( 96% people in India want this), and hopefully this will lead way to more fair umpiring in future for teams like Pak, Ind, SL.

No offense, but that's just stupid. If umpires are afraid for their careers when making decisions, you'll have farcial games like these all the time, except going the other way.

I know there's been some diabolical decisions against India in this series, but I don't think calling off the tour is a sensible idea. I'd like to see the Indian team knuckle down and possibly win one (or both) of the last two games. The sort of histrionics we're seeing over bad decisions etc in the last test are a little silly in my opinion. Knuckle down, do your best, and if poor umpiring remains the problem at the end of the series then we all know what's happened as we've all seen it. I think player performance (in some cases a severe lack of) gets lost in the furore.

When I said 'make decisions against these teams' I meant more like biased against these teams. I obviously want fair decisions, but it's amazing how you have SA, ENG, AUS VS Asian team, and the latter ends up suffering the most from these bad decisions.

I don't think this is true. This Test sure, but I don't see it as a widespread issue affecting only some team. This Test has just been several standard deviations above the mean in terms of umpiring mistakes.

Aus vs Pak( Last VB series)
Eng vs Pak( both home and away series)
Ind vs SA( even though umpire was Asad Rauf, but for some reason everyone has this mentality that goray > everyone else)
Also I didn't watch this series but last SL vs Aus.

This assumes that they were better in other series, not involving Australia. Or that during those series, the majority of the wrong decisions went against the subcontinent sides.

Also why do you think subcontient players are always ignored for ICC awards when they deserve it far more than players from other teams?

 

[taitmachine]

Australia copped some terrible decisions in the 2005 Ashes. But no one took away Englands credit as they played fantastic cricket. It is just not as simple as saying its just Asian countries - it is well known that teams touring in India & Pakistan get the run of decisions due to crowd pressure.

These bad decisions have happened ever since umpiring started!! It is just when you get a close test or series that they are focused on more. If this game was a one sided affair then it would have just been a side comment (as it usually is).

Dude is this an opinion piece or a news report or what?

Don't you get it? The cricketing world has a vendetta against India

FFS, don't conspiracy-theorist nutcases do the head in?

Opinion. I summarized early since there wasn't a straight up news piece about it on CW main page.

I forgot to mention Jaffer getting bowled by a potential no-ball as well.
