***Official West Indies in New Zealand***

[Burgey]

The only nightmare is that an NZ batsman has never hit 1000 calendar runs.

I am guessing this is the nightmare of which you speak.
BARROW !

GAGFC.

Seriously.

 

[Zinzan]

Unlucky McCullum, not out for mine

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Wow!!

That is very silly.
Rudi gives a bad decision, and Benson doesn't have enough evidence to overturn, even though it didn't look like he hit it at all.

Anybody feel Rudi gave it because the Windies had no more referrals and knew NZ would refer it?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Nothing on snicko either. Crazy.

 

[Zinzan]

My thoughts exactly

 

[Halfpast_Yellow]

What a joke. Referral system useless for mine. The one dismissal it would be most useful for an incorrect decision is upheld. Bizarre.

BARROW !

why don't you try other smiles too a lot of them are there

....and many more

 

[Zinzan]

Actually the sick thing here is the referral system if nothing else is supposed to eliminate the bad decisions. Have to feel for McCullum tbh

 

[sammy2]

and now the cow balling begins

 

[roseboy64]

One feels they need to use Snicko and Hotspot as well.

I was gonna say that was the perfect case for a referral. Yet the system got it obviously wrong.

Fuming!
That was NZs chance of winning, and to get ****ed over in that way is crazy. Just look at McCullum's reaction. Just look at the Windies appeal.

Shocking.
When I saw the first replay I was breathing a sigh of relief, then bewildered when it wasn't overturned.

 

[Natman20]

Worst decision ever. Poor umpiring all-round. Never looked out watching live. Thought it was always not out and then he raises his finger which was shocking and then the referrel which should have shown clear evidence McCullum didn't hit but no. Dissapointing.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

One feels they need to use Snicko and Hotspot as well.

Indeed.
Also, the whole "enough evidence to overturn" is fine with LBW's, but wtf was that?
Not enough evidence to overturn a bad umpiring decision?

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

The umpire did have clear evidence that Rudi made a piss poor decision, surely?

Argh, just frustrated that such a horrible decision has ruined what could have been an entertaining finish.

 

[roseboy64]

I'd do fine with less entertainment thank you.

 

[roseboy64]

Once again though, NZ will not win this. Thank you.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

One feels BFJ will have to play out of his skin here.
Frankling can hold up one end, but once a another wicket goes down its all over rover.

 

[roseboy64]

Big Fat Jesse?

i hope so

Edit: And Gayle deserves at least a draw for his efforts

Yep. Number 7 in the rankings is safe.
