He was probably remembering the bat-before-wicket decision that got McCullum. Throw your arms up in this game and you're half a chance with that new Australian and Buchnor umpiring.
True, just look at the con job McCullum pulled on the umpire in the Aussies innings to get Duss out

Not really. But that wasn't as blatant as the inside edge. For the record I thought it was a highly dubious decision to give David Hussey out, by the same umpire. It seems he likes going up in appeal with the bowling team.

New Zealand need to take stock here and start picking some gaps. Too many drives straight to fielders.

:lol:

you comparing how Dussey got out compared to McCullum....

Dusseys was touch and go.... there was a noise there... the umpire didnt have snicko to help him...

McCullums edge was obvious to everyone... you cant say that was touch and go...

This is a choke. Taylor has to have a go and start lifting the tempo. They've forgotten to pick singles up so they need to get boundaries to get back some momentum. The momentum is all with Australia.

lol@Richie comparing David Hussey's bowling to Viv Richards. If I'm not mistaken, Viv's average wasn't 150 odd with the ball and he didn't go at 5.66 per over.

McCullum was one of the 100+ players that will be given out LBW when they hit the ball this year, its Karma for pulling a huge con job on the umpire in the Aussie innings

As for the noise, any umpire who gets to this level should know the difference between a little noise and ball hitting bat

Richie's comment is up there with Mark Nicholas' love in on Marsh earlier on about his bright start...15 off 28.
