The current Ashes Series being played in England is becoming a farce.
Stuart Broad, a fast medium English bowler, who is also an useful batsman, refused to "walk" when the whole world saw he had clearly "nicked" the ball and was caught by the first slip.
It was incredible. The umpire Aleem Dar didn't see the "nick" or "edge" and Broad took advantage of the "oversight" and decided to stand his ground.
Obviously its not a gentleman's game any more.
There no question of fairness and in my opinion, the English will do just about anything to win ( including bending the rules to suit them ) against the old enemy.
See the logo on Broad's shirt " BRIT" - doesn't do them proud - on the contrary... its shocking.
Hear the English commentator's ( David Lloyd ) reaction :-
Now lets move to third Test being played at Old Trafford, Manschester.
Here on the opening day, the young Australian batsman - Usman Khawaja didn't touch or nick or edge the ball as the replays show - in fact his bat was "miles" from the ball but was given out.
Was given out by the umpire and was upheld by the Third Umpire - who had to have seen the same footage that the whole world saw.
This is terrible.
Such bad umpiring decisions are helping England win the Ashes series - is making this series into a farce. The series will be remembered for all the wrong things.
Will someone tell the English - we are all watching...
The above decision is being touted as the "worst" decision ever

the DRS saga continues today with KP's decission ! why use half baked technology if its not going to improve it. Though england has used it effectively... for wasting time :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. Appreciate it. I whole heartedly agree. There is efficient and effective technology out there, but the powers that be, must be persuaded to implement it.
