Dubious umpiring decisions?

Question

The second test between the Windies and the Aussies has been dogged by controversy thanks to the umps. When will they start using the 3rd umpire to end dodgy decisions? If the technology's there, why not use it? Personally I'm all for the idea. Will it ever happen and do you think it should?

Answer 1

Yes like Bingalee said there were a few dubious decisions that went Against Australia,did we hear any of that-NO..

I really wish people would get off Australia's back about cheating or not being fair..

One day someone else might be World Champions,and i can tell you now it wont be the Aussie's in the firing line it will be the Champions(who ever they might be)....

Then i can tell you they wont like hearing every single story about a decision going against them...

Give us a god damned break-For Once....

Answer 2

Yes Umpires make mistakes....

But I really love to read Asterix comic books

Answer 3

Yes its really sad . they should use the technology . I hope the hawk - eye is available for the players as soon as possible because sometimes one wrong decision completely changes the match. It happens a lot when Aussies are playing and people call them Lucky Champions

Answer 4

I agree.

Answer 5

the third UMP thing also does not work at times yesterday the third umpire also gave a wrong decision we should rather have the technique in which the teams can appeal against wrong decisions 3 times

Answer 6

If umpires do not feel they are in any doubt, the reference does not come up.

ICC is allowing appealing against Umpire decisions. Once rule comes into action, things should improve.

Answer 7

Yes but it went both ways, Lee given out when the ball hit his chest for instance. Sh-t happens mate.

Answer 8

no u take ur goods with ur bads, but it should be used on no -balls so the umpires can get a decent look at what is goin on on the pitch that way it will b a lot easier 4 em i reckon

Answer 9

I m am also in favor of using teh 3rd umpire & use the technology.

Answer 10

why do umpire make so many stupid mistaked, fair enough if you make few mistakes, but when you have made more than 6 mistakes in just 3 and half days of cricket played, is poor.

Answer 11

when umpires are in doubt I am in favor of using teh 3rd umpire & use the technology~

Answer 12

when umpires are in doubt I am in favor of using teh 3rd umpire & use the technology. It could make the game bit slow but it will be benefitially for the correct decisions given & making sure the true spirit is maintained.

Answer 13

Some of those decisions went against Australia, but you wouldn't know it to read some of the opinions here earlier. Cricket is a game of give & take, but looking at all the carry on there's been since the Aus V India series, maybe technology should be used more if only to shut the bad sports & ignoramouses up!
