3 extremely marginal decisions so far

What were they? Sehwag's legstump was to be taken by that ball, and so was the middle of Sharma. Raina was given not out 2 balls earlier which he nicked big, although the decision was wrong it was justice. Karthik's one was a plain shocker.

Sehwag's looked not-out to the naked eye,hawk eye showed it to be hitting the outer half of leg stump.Fair decision you could say but I doubt he'd have given it had it been Jayawardene in place of Sehwag...

Karthik's was a shocker as was Raina's....Dharamsena's has made 2 shocking and 1 50-50 call...Raina did get a reprieve though but that was Rauf,not Dharmasena.Dharmasena is a shockingly incompetent umpire.

50-50? more than half the ball was hitting the leg stick. Shewag was out.

DHarmasena at least doesn't scratch his head after shaping to give it out.

I haven't seen a lot of Dharmasena but he isn't usually this bad is he? Thought he was pretty good last year when New Zealand were in Sri Lanka.

I don't agree at all with your 'Jayawardene in place of Sehwag' statement.

Anyways, I have no problems with Sehwag's decision, could have gone either way.

For Karthik's wicket I have a feeling the appeal had something to do with that one

Raina's was once again a case of Dharamsena ****ting his pants. Probably scared of the Lankan's getting angry if he gave it not out after his previous reprieve.

This has been such a bitter and biased thread all the way through the series. It's actually really impacted on my enjoyment of the tournament. :(

Hmm...the umpires seem a wee bit inconsistent today, for both teams.

Come on India, scrape out something defensible!







I so want NZ in the final :laugh:

How does it justify it?Surely his job is to make correct and fair decisions as an umpire?

More than half the ball wasn't hitting the leg stump....in any case,there was no way he could have known that in real time.Sehwag's off-stump and a bit of the middle stump were visible...

As for the second part,I am assuming that is a dig at Ind umpires....no arguments from me there...Ind umpires are some of the worst in the world...most of them....I think Dharmasena is a shockingly incompetent umpire and unfit for int'l cricket,esp. in matches involving Sri Lanka.Don't take it personally...just my opinion....I'd say the same about some of the joke Ind umpires we've seen in the past.

And when did I ever say his decision was justified? Although I do think the end result was good since Raina deserved to be out 2 balls ago.

Also, 77-8. Jadeja out on a duck!! YES. Hope he gets smashed around a bit when he bowls too, so they have to drop him.

He was blatantly out. I am not asking him to walk after blatantly nicking it, but technically his wicket did not make much of a change to the game. But I agree that Karthik's would have made a difference.


Perera gets two in two. Nothing to whine about these dismissals.

Raina was out? I'm talking about the actual dismissal, not the the one that got turned down. Just to clarify, Raina got what he deserved but that doesn't justify the umpires decision does it?

And I'm not whining, honestly, I hate most of the Indian team, board, ex-players and their attitudes.
