Saying that, what a beauty by Lee just now

Super over by Lee actually.

Hard to see why that lbw shout wasnt given.

The one yesterday was maybe 50/50 but that was dead IMO.

 

[Pratters]

That was going past leg stump I thought at first impression - the one Greig thinks was plumb.

Yeah, on first sight I thought it was going down leg and possibly a bit too high. I can't really blame Bowden for that one.

We've been shafted by the umpires in this match..

Oh it wasnt as clear as the channel 9 commentators make it out to be.

Serves you right.

Aussie plonkers voted Billy the worst international umpire - and now it's come back to bite them.

Why they would publicise that is anyone's guess.

Sorry but that was absolutely plumb - hit below the knee roll in front of middle and struck on the crease.

As Mark Taylor said - "should be given out 19 times out of 20."

 

[Pratters]

Sorry but that was absolutely plumb

I thought there was doubt enough to give not out.

We disagree. Never mind.

 

[Pratters]

So Lee has been reported for level 1 offence by Dar? About time.

Lee had a dead set plumb LB on that one by.. a retards standards.

 

[andyc]

Yeah, he did seem to be going a bit over the top yesterday with his asking for an explanation for the turned down lbw. It's not out, get over it.

Youre kidding.

Reported for asking why a batsman was given not out.

No swear words, non aggressive.

That's being far too precious and smacks of an umpire not dealing with pressure.

On that basis, half the world's cricketers would be fined.

 

[Pratters]

Super shot by Kallis. I am loving it.

Imagine how the West Indies felt with some of Lara's decisions.

 

[James90]

Serves you right.

But he is the worst international umpire.

 

[James90]

Oh it wasnt as clear as the channel 9 commentators make it out to be.

I agree with that but I'm quite sure out. The ball was hitting much less of the stumps than the commentators thought and there was a slight element of doubt. Still should have been given though.

 

[parttimer]

Imagine how the West Indies felt with some of Lara's decisions.

There was a shedload of that already. This is a new match..

Super over by Lee actually.

I missed all but the last ball. Although I did see it on replay eventually. Why they would put Humphrey on instead of the cricket boggles the mind.
