There are 2 explanations. The umpire may have been on the blind side and not seen the ball come out and quiet often the umpire blows the whistle far too early. I'd say in this particular incident both things occurred.Arden said:I am aware that the umpires were ********poor both ways tonight, but I want to question one decision. How could they pay that mark to Matera in the last quarter, when it bounced off his chest, then Pratt ripped it away on the second juggle?
