1st ODI - Australia v England MCG Jan 16th 2011

Oh FFS no ball wicket again

that one was a huge no ball, big mistake by the umpire, how could he not call that when it happened?

 

[hineyrulz]

How could the Ump miss that no Ball???

Dougie not bowling well.

 

[Twizzle]

also makes you wonder how many no balls they let go when they dont get a wicket and dont ask for a review

bad bowling and bad umpiring

That's what I have been thinking too, it's ridiculous, and so are the commentators, this is what they should be complaining about, not the umpire's wanting to get the decision right when they call a wicket.

Oh and dissing smiling right now is also ridiculous.

i was wondering that too

they clearly aren't calling close ones. they can only review them though if a wicket is taken

perhaps they would call them if they could review them if they did call no ball and a wicket was taken

 

[Twizzle]

Healy is a cranky sh*t today

 

[hineyrulz]

Healy firing up :lol:

 

[El Diablo]

see there was a missed no ball

bad umpiring

they should have had a free hit

 

[Twizzle]

another no ball and they didn't call it

looked alot like he hit that

 

[hineyrulz]

Another missed no ball, are these umps even watching anymore???

 

[Twizzle]

Dussy first change bowler, ffs

 

[El Diablo]

he must have pics of someone

 

[HevyDevy]

And THAT is why I have a problem with umpires being allowed to refer the no-ball upstairs.

I think that's a big reason why they should be able to, we need someone to enforce the rules of the sport, you know to umpire the game.

 

[hineyrulz]

What is it with Dussey FFS??? Now he is bowling first change :crazy:

 

[El Diablo]

And THAT is why I have a problem with umpires being allowed to refer the no-ball upstairs.

they can only refer ones they don't call

if they could refer it both ways i think they would call more no balls

as it is they seem to deliberately not call close ones in case there is a wicket as they can refer it

 

[Marshall_magic]

As everybody wonders. Who's wife did Brad Hodge stoof? Also did Hauritz do the same thing.

Hodge probably told Ponting that he's a wanker.

when there is an inch plus in it it is definitely a no ball and should be called such. It doesn't matter whether or not they can refer it

Well he would be spot on.

Blind as a bat it seems, he just missed one off Lee recently.
