WC2007: Super 8

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

I was being a bit harsh I guess. The benefit goes to the batter so whilst the edge was maybe the most obviously incorrect decision it was actually fair enough if the umpire wasn't sure. McCullum's I don't know how an umpire can be sure of and Fleming's is probably half fair. Just one which you would see turned down for the benefit by more experianced umpires possibly.



Yes, but he was appealing strong for stupid stuff as well for a while there. I hope this typical excessive appealing from the Sri Lankans gets punished finally. You see it happen from time to time. They scream at the umpires and plead. I don't think it's good sportsmanship (ironically comming from a player who complained about McCullum running out Murili that time)

I dont know what is your problem : it seems that kiwi doesnt make any excessive applealings

I dont know what is your problem :

You quoted his whole post just to say that?

And his problem is with the appealing of the Sri Lankans; As is clearly stated in the post that you quoted...

I look at it differently. The umpire gave it out, because he was sure it was hitting the wicket, otherwise he wouldn't have given it. AND, he was proven right by Hawkeye (which is now apparently 99% accurate). Therefore, the decision was right. Simple as.

nz showed their resolve today. you can never keep them down. was taylor injured or dropped from the team?

McCullum's made himself look like an idiot shaking his head like that as he walked off. Gotta feel a bit for the Sri Lankans, they would have been chasing 150 at most if not for the decision on Styris.

I think both he and Gillespie were injured.

 

[MUFC1987]

I get what you mean now. Apologies.

 

[MUFC1987]

How was the McCullum decision harsh?

 

[charith]

I wish I could read that drivvel. Please use proper English not all this "dat", "frm", "cldve" stuff.

The ball before was even more not out then the one after it. The Caught Behind wasn't off bat, if you were paying attention, it was off glove which must be much more difficult to see/hear, and third, harsh noball? A no ball is a noball. He was over. It cost you nothing anyway, he holed out a short while after. What was Harsh is the McCullum decision. To be honest, I doubt the umpire had half a clue what he was doing.

I think u read it just fine there dude since u were able to figure out wat i said aye? i save the grammer for my Law essays.

I think Sri Lanka need to target Gillespie and Franklin as the other 3 seem to be the threats. Even though they like to think they're good against Spin and have in the past played Vettori well, Vettori's in good form and it's a situation which will suit him.

man i dont understand why you are still talking about the Murali run out, that was 3 months ago stop mentioning it every time you see somthing bad happen to your side. you seem to comment on bad umpiers and missed calls only on the decisions going against NZ but the one bad decision that afected the match the most was Styris not being given out and i dont see you saying o well that was a bad decision.


there was alot of close and bad calls in this game and it afected both teams probably but lets not make the umpiers take avay from what could potentially be a good game to watch.

You realise if Styris had of gotten out then who knows what could of happened. Maybe McCullum would have scored a 50 or Oram, change the past and the future will be different.

And McCullum didn't make himself look like an idiot, he made the umpire look like an idiot. He knew he didn't hit it, and he was right. The LBW was a bad decision as well. By rules, it can't be given out.

BY rules can't be giver out? It pitched in line and was hitting leg stump. I mean you gt to be a brave umpire to give it but it CAN be given out.

 

[MUFC1987]

^ The ball did NOT pitch in line. And it was clipping half of the leg stump.

Yes, yes it did. I fail to see how you can look at the footage and argue that it was outside leg.

Where are these quotes from?

I was only going by the commentary by the way. They said it was harsh and now i'm trying to find reasons why myself.

Stop moaning . dont blame the umpires they just get fraction of seconds to make a decission :
