Controversial decisions in WC 2015. - Page 2

I don't see the big deal in Dharmasena's wrong decision (the run out one). And I don't specifically remember, but was Dar's finger up for the LBW before the run out occurred? Anyway there were other umpires who could have advised him otherwise.

I remember in the past in every match there was 1-2 wrong decisions atleast with the technology human error have been reduced

Yes but some people are still not satisfied. Even lawyers make mistakes and these people are cricketers. You can't expect them to remember every single rule perfectly. People also expect these umpires to have the best vision in the world. They're fairly aged and you can't expect them to see every small edge. Funny part is some of these people are against DRS. But even with DRS you will never have 100% accuracy. Mistakes will happen and sometimes you will even miss a century because of it. That's the game, deal with it. Bashing the umpires won't help (not directed to people in this thread, just in general).

Yes it was. Even ICC apologized to english team by releasing a press release after the game about an error in umpiring decision.

A classic case of a controversial rule is the umpire's call in hawk eye DRS. 🥱

W*F you mean by not hitting more than 50 of the stumps? 😡

Bails are dislodged by a simple touch even if its 10% and sometimes even a hard knock does not dislodges it.

Either remove this idiot umpire's call decision or the reviewing team should not lose its referral .

Just like today ZIM are suffering because of that.

Warne was so pissed that he said Umpire pressed the wrong button even after knowing that its completely automatic. 😆

Technology failure.. not good but its an accident. Not saying just coz it was in NZ. Bothe commentators were Kiwis and they were angry and said that at least the umpire shud have asked 3rd umpire who can see the reply from many angles to make a decision.. if he cant then thats ok. But on field umpire shaked his head siad nooo, get on with it.

^ who can forget Bucknor and that 2008 Sydney test 😆

OT - Brendan Taylor today ... how in the world did the third umpire "conclusive evidence" to overturn the decision is beyond me 🤪
