Who not just trod on your stumps or something....seems silly

Worst Umpiring decision ever.

WOW

If you tread on your stumps does it still go down as a wicket to the bowler? If not then maybe that could be a reason? So that the bowler could still have the wicket in his column? Seems like a very odd way to do things. If they had agreed he was out the previous ball why did they bother bowling the next one....?

[Alvaro]

It stills counts as a wicket to the bowler

Worst Umpiring decision ever.

WOW

That was in the good old days when NZ umpires led the world for dodgy decisions. The Windies weren't to happy with a few back in the 80's. Now they can't get away with anything and the ICC mark down umps who are rubbish, Bowden and his crooked finger for one. Biggest problem is the best umpires are Eng/Aus and you can't play them and the rumour is Bowden will be back.

Hussian had a few years of getting some absolute stinkers.

I remember Akram's ball that pitch miles outside leg as well.

Probably that was too traumatic for Hussain...no wonder his mindless support for DRS!!!!

[Leddster138]

WOW

That is astonishing

Some shockers there.

Hussey was given out caught behind to balls he missed by a few inches twice in 2009 Ashes and also in the first test against India season before last at the MCG.

Damian Martin smashed the ball into his pads twice in 2005 only to be given out LBW both times and Katich was also given LBW at Trent Bridge in 2005 after smashing it.

To be honest, as imperfect as it is, I would rather keep DRS than go back to how it was.

Check his out!

Disgraceful umpires vs West Indies 1980 Fred Goodall vs Colin Croft

Kiwis didn't do things by half measures!

If anything I think the Croft was more out of line than Goodall in this one..

With Hussey, surely the ball he was given caught at slip turning out of the footmarks that he missed by about a foot was worse!  Though I love the revisionist history of 2005 that excludes some of the shockers England batsmen got in that series!

[ppccopener]

the umpiring for both teams in the current series has been rubbish

the panel have no where to go thou...not enough neutral umpires available.

short of abandoning the neutral umpires for the Ashes down under and going back to the best ones-there's not much can be done.
personally I think its a shame Simon Taufel retired so young,he's the best there's been for a while

Tony Hill would be bad in our League thou

[Manormanic]

I think its sad that in these days of DRS and Elite Panels we're so scared of having umpires take matches for their own countries -  there are eight mpires on the Panel not involved in this series and the ones I have any knowledge of are excellent.

[Manormanic]

As for Hill, perhaps each team should be allowed a third "Hill specific" review?
