3rd Ashes Test: Australia v England, Old Trafford August 1-5.

[Speck]

Oh the noise I was thinking about was the pad.

I hope we come out and slam that decision.

 

[Patron]

Ive copped every other decision. But there was absolutely no doubt there. Can we make some sort of formal complaint or something? I think that is the first time in my life i think there is a possibility an umpire is getting payed off to make an incorrect decision.

 

[smashing]

Whats the point of having the tech if its going to be completely disregarded? Either get someone to do the reviews as a full time job or get rid of them altogether.

 

[tombomb]

Hit his pad with his bat

i couldve sworn there was a 2nd noise on one of the slow mo's .... i thought it must be my tv .... or there is a noise to let you know when the ball passes the bat. it didnt sound like the bat on the ball

 

[iDon]

How on earth is it the DRS fault, YOU HAVE NO IDEA AT ALL??!?

Rofl.

Why so angry?

 

[Gak Attack]

Glad Warnie in the box. Would of been barely anything said otherwise.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

I can understand the field umpire giving it out, with Prior claiming the catch and rushing down the wicket as though Khawaja had thick-edged it. But the third umpire, having seen all the replays a million times, has made a complete and utter balls-up of the decision.

Khawaja has every right to do a Clarko in the dressing rooms.

Dharmasena is the third umpire. He's a rubbish umpire, so it's unsurprising that he ballsed up another decision.

Good on Warney for spitting the dummy. Gower probably has a shit eating smirk on his face right now.

 

[speedytiger]

This isn't a DRS problem. Its a useless umpire problem

 

[Mateyman]

Has become a joke. We now have 1 ****ing review as well, so watch for something like the Rogers dismissals in the 1st innings last test to happen again. 86/1 or 2 is a huge difference lunch first day

 

[Smeg Head]

Even James Hird is a better judge of things than these umpires.

 

[ImperialPurple]

Fcuking umpires are on the take I swear. FMD - this sickens me.

 

[Aussie Assault]

The keeper was the only one that went up with a full appeal. The rest were half arsed. Geez that has pi**ed me right off.

 

[fairlight_cmi]

I don't think I can stomach any more of this punishment.

Considering just turning off and waiting til the series in Aus

 

[Visions]

I thought DRS was brought in for the howler. Obviously not. If that decision could not be overturned, then no decision can ever be. No need to bother with it anymore. Gap between bat and ball, hit his back leg with the bat, no hot spot, no action on snicko but they call it out. What a shambles this is.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Absolutely stunned, Words fail me.

 

[wotdoiput]

which disgusting cheating silly is the 3rd umpire?

Despicable

Dharamasena

Michael Vaughan ✔@MichaelVaughan
Feel for a young player who is trying to make his way in the game.... Really poor decision....


EVEN Vaughan agrees.

Looking forward to Boof coping a 20k fine after today's okay

 

[funk44]

still blown away

 

[Biggie]

So I wonder in from a nice shower and I feel like I have dirt all over me.

Dirty dirty DRS

 

[Shupe]

DRS is there to get rid of the howlers.

loljks

 

[dan warna]

NOTHING WRONG WITH DRS
do not blame technology for stupid umpiring.
Khawaja's career maybe terminated by poor umpiring /sigh.
