Did you see where the ball pitched? It was very close to that line.. Ramiz Raja in the commentary made it seem as if it was a very huge blunder done by Rod Tucker. But the replays showed that it was a very hard decision for the umpire to judge that the ball pitched outside the line because it was so close.
Have to agree. It comes down to about a width of a ball between a good decision, and a supposedly horrendous one according to Ramiz. THIS is how much pressure we put on umpires. And even after we concede that he got it wrong, fans pick that ONE decision and say the umpires cost them the match. There are a thousand other factors that go into losing matches, but fans look for a reason that will exonerate their favourite players - umpires are an easy target. How about if Jamshed had, I don't know, actually HIT the ball instead of letting it hit him on the pad??? Blame Jamshed for missing the ball just as much as Tucker for missing the leg stump line.
