Dhoni’s Criticism for Umpire Daryl Harper
In a recent affair, Indian Skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 made headlines after the Australian media made an appeal to the International Cricket Council (ICC) for not taking any action against the player.
During the first Test game between India and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daryl-John-Harper-c52530 for his poor decision making on the field. The captain’s allegations eventually led to the Australian’s withdrawal from the third
Test of the series.
Initially, Harper had decided to make an official retirement after the third game which would have been his 300th standing.
According to reports, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 claimed Dhoni’s criticism as ‘unfair’ yet the Cricketing Body failed to take any action against the Indian.
Recently, the Indian side, backed with the Board of Control for Cricket in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 (BCCI), had been quite active around the ICC to implement a ban on the usage of Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS).
After the board’s success over the appeal, the Indian team played their first Test game against the West Indies without the review system.
Now, with allegations against Daryl Harper for poor umpiring, critics have made claims against the Indian Captain and the BCCI for creating issues against something that the side created on its own, especially after the having the DRS banned.
The dispute between the official and the Indian Skipper erupted after the Indians pointed out numerous unfair decisions called out by Harper.
Though the Indian’s won the first Test, however, Dhoni stated that "if the correct decisions were made, the game would have finished much earlier and I would have been in the hotel by now."
Daryl Harper has always stood for his sharp decision making.
ICC Cricket Manager http://www.senore.com/Cricket/David-John-Richardson-c52977 stated that “The reality of the situation is that Daryl's statistics show his correct decision percentage in Tests involving India is 96 per cent, which is considerably higher than the international average for top-level
umpires”.
