No, if he had bowled great without any hiccups and then had one off over, then I don't have a problem with it.

OK, so apparently I don't understand the laws of cricket, so I will ask your expert opinion: The delivery before colleymore was bowled, what about that delivery was not LBW? It was full, pretty much straight, in line directly with middle stump...hit him low and he was way inside his crease.
This umpire is utterly incompetent or clearly biased (I doubt he's biased, so incompetent it must be).

How convinient. LBW's are now given left and right. That was clearly out, so its not that he gave the wrong decision but at least four or five Kumble LBW's were also clearly out. This is ridiculous.

No, I don't think it was a stupid decision. It might have hit him slighly outside the line, but I think it was a fair decision. My problem is that the same umpire gave at least five decision not out, that were clearly better shouts than the one that Kaif got out to.
Thats what I'm complaining about. If you're going to give marginal shouts out, then give it out all the time. Last couple days, he basically would give NOTHING OUT, and all of a sudden India start batting and dodgy decisions come around? Thats not right. I know people are going to come here and accuse me of being a sore loser and whining, but I don't really care. I know its his first test and everything, but India should (and I believe they will) lodge an official complaint...he shouldn't umpire in many more tests.
If India lose this test by giving away 15 more wickets, then its going to be India's fault (unless 12 of those decisions are dodgy LBWs
), but the umpiring at one end is totally sucking.

VVS plays totally differently to the VVS of yesteryear. 
Granted he's playing for his position in the side here so he's not going to be scoring at a quick rate or anything, but I've noticed this for around 2 years now. He's no longer a stroke maker, and when the Indian team has natural stroke makers like Laxman and Tendulkar suddenly turn into grafters, its no wonder the Indian batting line-up isn't as good and threatening as it once was, even with the introduction of Yuvraj in to the team. You now have Dravid, Jaffer, Sachin, Laxman and Kaif grafting runs, Sehwag and Dhoni blasting runs, and really no one 'in between'. Maybe Yuvraj I guess.
This isn't a criticism of Laxman's innings here, because he's doing exactly what he needs to do for his career, and what the team needs of him, just an observation.

So three LBW's from Jerling. The same umpire who would give NONE out. If you think I'm whining, look at what the commentators are saying.
It is appaling.

Now, I would normally expect certain people from yesterday who were lecturing me on the finer points of how you should always give the benefit of the doubt to the batsman to come on here and admit they were wrong. But I doubt it.

I'd go for the former. The comment that he has no idea umpiring spin-bowlers is on the mark IMO. You can forgive a couple of shouts not given, but from his actions you'd think it was against the laws of cricket to give an LBW decision off the bowling of a spinner.adharcric said:
