Once you think of it, we don't have that many umpires. We've got like 10 or so test umpires.

True, The Elite Panel thing is not right imo, just says your better than anyone and whatever you do it doesn't matter, Just have a large group of appointed umpires or go back to one ump from each country for the Test Series.

Surprised Llong got tests over someone like Neil Mallender but Llong is competent enough

Mallender isn't part of the elite panel (10 umpires) or the International panel, where each country has another 2 umpires who fill in on the odd test and do all the home ODI's. (and a 3rd umpire who does just that - 3rd umpiring)

I believe he turned it down because he didn't want a part of all the travel, much like Peter Willey.

England have Ian Gould, Llong and Peter Hartley (3rd umpire).

 

[LIONS then DAYLIGHT]

Tiffin is near useless.

Remember those LBW decisions he gave against the Aussies in the SCG ashes test in 2003, **** me those balls would have pitched outside leg on a second pair of stumps.

Made the decisions during the 2005 Ashes look like great judgement.

Edward Smtih would be licking his lips at the return of pommy Tiffin

 

[Philhawk]

Bucknor and Bowden vs Australia?

Bucknor has given Tendulkar some of the worst decisions I have ever seen when he's toured Australia - and Billy, well, I just can't forget him giving out Sehwag in Chennai LBW despite the massive inside edge.

Yeah, bit rich someone whinging about decisions going against India, what about Australia's tour in 2001, one umpire was drinking champagne with the Indian team after the 2nd match

What about Singh's Hat-trick.

Oh yeah, what about the doctored pitchs.

Oh the irony.

Harbhajan's hat-trick? Nothing wrong with it last time I checked.

People can call others hypocritical all they want, but the fact is that Australia get's a bloody good run at home with the umpires.

Sangakarra's crappy dismissal against Australia thanks to Rudi is a prime example of this, not to mention, as touched upon above, the multitude of crappy decisions Tendulkar continues to get in Australia.

 

[ubolt]

how about all the decisions they got correct?

 

[eddiesmith]

Better not back Sachin for most runs, they wont let him reach double figures

All home teams seem to get a good run with the umpires. Its happened in the sub continent for years. No need to whinge about it or highlight it for the 1000th time.

 

[Ricketts]

At least with Doug Bollinger's hattrick two of them were out. All 3 weren't out for Harbajans hattrick. Biggest blunder in cricket history x3. Add to that he's a chucker and Indian and it's no wonder he's one of the most hated cricketers going around. The photo in the Warrick Todd diary says it all with the Indians scampering all over the pitch with wads of cash in hand. International Corruption Council

 

[Cooldude]

Let me make my position clear about Russell Tiffin's umpiring abilities: He is shite

How he and Darryl Harper get a job is just astonishing

That was a ****ing joke and proof to how corrupt India is, the Warne (hat trick ball) went to the third umpire, and he gave it out after one look and you couldn't see a ****ing thing, not out on further inspection. Gilchrist hit the ball, and Ponting could have gone either way.

[Cooldude]

The Gilchrist decision was absolutely woeful. The ball pitched miles outside leg for starters, and he hit the cover of the ball as well. The worst thing was the ump put his finger up 0.5 secs after it hit Gilchrist, as if he thought it was ****ing plumb...

The Warnie decision was just a stupid flaw in the law that really needs fixing. Because the ump refered it to the third ump, he cannot actually ask him whether it was a bump ball, he can only confirm whether the fielder took the catch clearly. The fielder did and they gave it out, even though the replay showed it was completely inconclusive

 

[YOTC]

You cannot be serious phil!

I give as much respect to the umpires as i can but that Indian love fest is the exact reason why the banned home town umpiring. Ponting was plumb, but Gilly and Warne were not out.

You're a mod ffs, not a troll. Start being a bit more open minded, you're just as biased as the Aussie morons on here.

Those decisions are absolutely disgraceful.

FFS, if that was an Australian umpire and Indian batsmen that whole stadium would have been set on fire.

I think it was that umpire that was seen drinking with the Indians after the match.

Disgraceful

It is always good to be reminded of how bad Tony Greig is as an alleged commentator as well.

He was barracking on that clip, not commentating.

Barracking is encouraged when you work for CH9, oh wait, sorry, you only have a problem with barracking against Australia, right gotchya

Just because Greig only barracks against Australia doesn't mean he doesn't barrack. He is a complete embarrassment when he carries on like that - the last time Australia was in South Africa was a prime example.

We have to put up with a degree of hometown bias in much of the commentary we hear, that is only natural I suppose and I can wear it. But the outright barracking which Greig comes out with is disgraceful. He would have had to have changed his pants after that "hat-trick".

The bolded bit is just typical crap from you by the way. Actually it is an outright lie.

Sure, the Gilchrist dismissal was dodgy, but the Warne decision was fine. But at the end of the day, you see rubbish decisions like that from umpires all the time.

Just because it was an subcontinental umpire, people assume that there was an element of bias involved.

What about Billy Bowden giving Sehwag out in the Chennai test despite the inside edge onto his bat?

It was a disgraceful decision - most people accept that, but you don't find subcontinental cricket fans continuously harping on about how it's a 'conspiracy by the Australian/New Zealand umpiring fraternity'.

Because it's a one-off decision...

Ponting, out LBW, no doubt about it
Gilchrist - as Coughlan pointed out, not only did it pitch outside leg stump (clearly), and not only did he hit it (clearly), the umpire raised the finger almost before the Indians appealed for the decision
Warne - how can you give it out if the rules are set properly? There is no way in hell that anyone (even now) can actually say one way or the other that it was ground/bat or bat/ground, the benefit of the doubt goes to the batsman, be interesting to find out who the third umpire was that day too.

How can you have two terrible decisions in a row, like, disgraceful decisions, imagine if Sangakkara's dismissal on 192 in the recent Test was on the back of two other dismissals and was a hat-trick ball... think about it eh...

Umpires: SK Bansal (India) (the one giving the decisions) & P. Willey (England), the one looking on baffled from square leg as even he heard the massive inside edge from Gilly

Third Umpire: SN Bandekar (India)

Funny that, the Indian central umpire and the Indian third umpire gave Harbhajan a hat-trick

Come off it, are you serious, back in the 90's and earlier it was well known that touring the subcontinent was hard not only due to the conditions but also the fact the umpiring was atrocious.

That Gilchrist dismissal was one of the worst ever, disgraceful.

 

[jacko99]

itz funnu also how SK Bansal the umpire who gave out that hatrick has never umpire test match cricket again in his life. . . I dont even think he is umpiring local indian cricket anymore. . .

Piefan,

Any chance of accessing any of those local appointments??
