The umpires have been pretty average this series, but the poor decision have more or less balanced each other out.
Taylor survived a pretty plum LBW shout, so it was kind of fair that he was given out to a shocker.
Guptill's was just plain and simply terrible decision, I thought it hit him out side leg, let alone pitch outside leg.
If Sunil Gavaskar who was commentating at the time was sitting next to me, I would have knocked him out. He said "that's another good decision by Taufel" (referring to the first one being McCullum's LBW), then when it showed hawk-eye he just didn't mention it again.
That guys been pissing me off the whole series, is he only commentating because he was a great player? He's one of the worst commentators I've ever heard.
As I said though, Williamson got one go his way in the first test, so I'm not too fussed.
Guptill and Hopkins are probably the only two players that may not be around for the Pakistan series, but that will be all good, as we really need them back at Auckland to beef up our top order.
