ODI Tri-Series (Malaysia)

[evertonfan]

I spelt 'animal' wrong before whilst doing some GCSE work in English, quick, somebody ban me from school completley and fine me an outrageous sum of money. :

It's against the rules to over-appeal which is why it is punished wheras it's not in the rules to punish an umpire for getting a decision wrong.

How can umpire be left alone inspite of making mistakes?

Because he is bound to make them (as he is human). The difference between an umpire making a mistake and a cricketer making one is that the cricketer will do it with intent. Say for example Billy Bowden doesn't give out Rahul Dravid even though he has clearly nicked it to Gilchrist. Billy would have made the mistake without intent and would not have deliberately thought to advantage the Indian's. If then Ricky Ponting walks up to Billy and gives him the finger he will be in huge trouble as he knowingly thought about and went through with the action.

If there are any umpires that deliberately do this it will probably show up with the rough decisions given to one particular team.

mate i wasnt talking about the game rules...lol!!! The rules i meant was " If a player makes mistake like overappealing he is punished ...... Similarly if a umpire makes mistake he should also be punished ". How can umpire be left alone inspite of making mistakes? :

I tried to say " MISTAKE IS A MISTAKE.... & ONE SHOULD PAY FOR THE MISTAKES "

I agree umpires son't really get in trouble for their wrong decisions thats probably why it happens so often beouz thier not strict about it. For example the referee in the Champions league final barca vs arsenal becuz of his bad decisions he could barely ever show his face again. The board needs to be more strict and i believe it will lesson wrong decisions. Another thing umpires have the right to change their decision (as seen with tendulkar) why isn't this done more often.

Yeah they always call up indians, pakistani, west indians, sri lanka's etc for over appealing and there actions but this is so rarely ever seen for england australia and new zealand the whole icc board is corrupt.

Oh yes, the ICC is completely against Asia. Which of course explains why you got the World Cup instead of Oceania, which explains why no Asian has ever been suspended for chucking, which explains why every decision seems to go in Asias favour. HOW ON EARTH COULD YOU COPE WITH SUCH SHOCKING PREJEDUICE AGAINST YOU! You're entire region is a beacon for the rest of mankind, showing that despite people being against you, it is possible to succeed! God speed to you!

 

[sohum]

exactly evertonfan!

the amount of sour grapes flying around this forum right now is incredible! I wonder what they would be saying if India won

We would actually be fending off the sour grapes from the Aussies.

Because we lost some pointless, money grabbing tournament from the most pathetic board in World Cricket? However would we cope...

 

[sohum]

Also, we can't really go around banning umpires because there aren't enough good ones going around.

How do you troll today?

Ever heard of Shabbir Ahmed? :

I don't like this 'the ICC is completley against us' issue whenever something bad happens to an Asian team. You should just learn to take bad decisions with a pinch of salt and not blame the ICC and hint at the racist issue either. When was the last time you saw England, NZ, Australia or South Africa moaning at the ICC following a bad decision?

What you are trying to say is that - If a batsman scores a duck he must be thrown ouyt of the team ?

I feel that an umpire's performance be evaluated and if he makes a mistake 3 times in the same series,then and only then should he be punished.

The tournament is pointless. It's designed purely for money. The Indian board is pathetic as all it cares about is money. I was unaware stating facts was considered trolling.

Well and a little bit of match practice on the side, hence the frequent appearences of Australia B

Oh really then why Aussies are playing this tournament for charity?

The Indian Board is definately not pathetic.
Give me atleast one example of any other board in World Cricket where the Board has itself started off with tournaments of its own.
I do not have the empirical data to prove but the Indian board has actually turned around Cricket.
Jagmohan Dalmiya,the ex-ICC President marketed the game in a way no body has done before.


Well its true that every business is run from the profit angle.
Please explain as to why you are calling the BCCI pathetic ?

Oh really then why Aussies are playing this tournament for charity?

I must also say here Scmod that the Aussies and Windies both are getting
$ 1 mn per appearance against India.
If not I don't think they would have played the tournament at all.
