Can you top the 5 worst decisions made? listed in the website above.

Which one is the worst?

MY OPINION: For me i would have to say the World cup final was a stupid and embarassing mistake for the ICC.

Also Freddie Flintoff having to be rescued at sea and becoming banned from the next match and his one-day captaincy taken off.

Those were the worst decisions made for me.

Answer 1

while good points are made on the WC final (which lets face it was nothing short of a disgrace) and Freddys rescue and Harbi and Sreesanth, i think the worst decision was to hold the inaugral Mickey Mouse Cup (or IPL, whatever you want to call it), millions of dollars for slog cricket, what a joke!

EDIT: from you of all people OZ, having a go at someone for having multiple accounts? even if they do its still rich coming from you

Answer 2

Poor old Freddy! I would say that was the worst, although you did mention the WC schmozzle.

Answer 3

Well they are all pretty bad but for me definatly number 1 is the whole Asif Saga,The saying is normaly 'Once bitten Twice Shy',not in this instant,nothing can cover up the damage this has done to his cricket career..

Number 2 would be the Sree slap..No excuses for any phsical assults on the field-especially not against your own team player too...

Number 3 has to be the Freddy rescue..But what about the one when he was sitting 'pissed' in the childrens swing with the English P.M standind right beside him?..I wont forget that 1 because he was slurring his words and just being well 'obnoxious"...

So i think the Crown in this one goes  Asif...

I love what P has posted though-Too true!!

Answer 4

all in 1test match ind vs aus2nd test sydney

Answer 5

Harbhajan slapping Sreesanth would be top of my list.Much worse slapping your own team mate than getting drunk in a boat or whatever.

Answer 8

Answer 9

The ODI World Cup was an appalling embarrassment and they need to learn from it  - But they won't.

Answer 10

the whole saga  of sydney's test in which KUMBLE cried to mother BCCI and hijacked the series...  that was not only wrong decision but the msot stupid of all...

Answer 11

Hit two with one stone.
