btw I've heard a lot about how it looked out for all money live... have always fancied myself as a very fine umpire and I called it over the top live... don't know whether it was out of desperation, but it didn't look or sound right.

Well nothing more is going to come of it, Haddin will be playing still and I think both sides will have to move on from this and quickly. I hate what happened but it's done. Let the players attack each other on the field where it will count the most and El Diablo is asleep...

Yeah well this is a big forum and trying to keep track must be hard...ok off topic...back to cricket...

Going back to the Dussey incident. Anyone got atheory on why there was a sound on the stump mike that everyone heard yet no reading on snicko?

And there are plenty of others , where the umpires gives the batsman out , then reverse the decision after the batsmen dispute it, it been in for years

I said "should be fined"

I didn't hear anything

McCullum IS slimy as f*ck imo. I don't think NZ have any moral high ground to fall back on.

I was a bit confused on that issue too...As far as I was aware, Snicko is just the sound wave graph of the stump microphone...I heard the a snick as the ball passed the bat in the coverage, but there wasn't anything on snicko. :?

the commentators all claimed they heard a sound, and it wasn't just McCullum that went up, they all did.

Wicketkeeper and bowler nearly always go up when the ball is close to the batsman and down leg side to try and make the umpire think it wasn't a wide.

No, they don't. The keeper usually whips the bails off.

Umm, yeah. Like McCullum did when Hussey was incorrectly given out.:roll:
And it's a bit hard to whip the bails off when they are standing 15 metres back.;-)

You are using one example to demonstrate your point?

The keeper doesn't 'appeal' to the umpire as such, he usually just whips the bails off to try and distract the umpire from giving a wide, which never really works anyway.

Mcullums appeal clearly wasn't to stop the umpire giving a wide, otherwise the bowler wouldn't have gone up as well.
