Biased Umpiring going too far

[Nafi]

47.4


Bresnan to Shahadat Hossain, no run, 86.7 mph, well, that's bizarre...the ball comes off Shahadat's shoulder and Prior drops the 'catch', but Rod Tucker gives him out before reversing the decision having noticed the ball wasn't taken...but it would have been an incorrect 'out' call anyway

This prejudice against Bangladesh from umpires, really is getting out of hand

[Kabir]

One word - CHALLENGE

But given that we still suck, even correcting the umpiring decisions will not help. In fact, I find that this is one way of avoiding the fact that we suck, which really sucks.

[FagunerAgun]

We need to prove more to win these bad decisions.

[samircreep]

two very marginal lbw decisions went against the british today. Theres no biased umpiring, just inept one.

True. But how Mr Tucker gave that one out when Prior dropped that??

[BD-Shardul]

আগে নিজের ঘর সামলানো দরকার, তারপর না হয় এইসব আলোচনা করা যাবে। নিজের ঘরেই যেখানে চলমান উইকেট আছে তিন খান, সেখানে আম্পায়ারের একটা ভুল সিদ্ধান্ত আলোচনা unwarranted.

Was watching the replay and slow motion of 1st day's out. Was Aftab's out was a genuine out?

Looks to me it didn't touched the gloves. Shouldn't the batsman gets the benefit of Doubt atleast?

Cricinfo said the ball touched Aftab's gloves as per the replay.

I think the bigger question here is, why the heck was he even playing that shot at that time knowing we were 2 down already?

That's a good question, but the topic of this thread is about different issue i.e. bad umpiring.

[Rabz]

Exactly Bd_Sy.
That shot was uncalled for.
It wasn't the perfect time to be cheeky and all so sweet.
There was no reason to try dragging a ball outside offstump in the first place.

I know. But don;t agree. If you have access to espn360, its there to review it as may times as you want. In the slowmo... it looks to me it just barely missed his gloved. They showed the slow motion in different angles later, bu that time Cric Info commented on initial commentator's analysis.

Ist not clear though, either way... that why I was saying should it go to batsman's way?

[AsifTheManRahman]

Tucker is a joker.

[ZeeshanM]

^ Seriously. That was pure embarrassment on Rajib's one. Tucker must have been sipping those Lil Wayne syrup.

Aftab's one was not out for sure.

[alibangali]

Umpires will most likely give 50/50 decisions against us since we have a spineless bcb. Even the british commies have more spine than our board.

I should stay away from Tucker. Dont want to get banned anymore.
I hope BD will also stay away from Tuker and Asoka in future.

[gunda]

Why are we complaining? If the players and management hasn't got any balls and not saying a word then why are we wasting our breath and opening threads 1000 miles away here?

That breath may be butterfly's wings.

Can't agree more. Ashoka is miles ahead of Tucker. Tucker is the worst umpire I have ever witnessed in international cricket.

He gives ineptitude a bad name. I cannot fathom how he made it to the elite panel.

[Peace]

I think one can not be an elite umpire unless he is capable of pleasing the big boys, of course, at the cost of “minnows”. This is the underwriter’s rule implemented by ICC.

He cant be worse than Enamul!

[cricket_pagol]

it's unfortunate that we had to deal with these inept umpires in our test matches... Even the Bangladeshi umpire who adjudicate in our games suck (talkin' about Moni here)...

[Imtiazk]

Weak sides always complain about umpiring ! Has anybody written here that Trott was not out in the first innings ?

Assuming your terming bangladesh as a "weak side" then your comment is factually incorrect. No member of the bangladesh team or management or even board have complained about poor umpiring. Its only us fans and we have all the right to express our opinions.

Secondly English Commentators and Media are extremely critical of any decisions given against england. They have made outbursts and whined about poor umpiring when it goes against them. Our media and commentators are much less spineless so they dont really say much.

I cant say much about the england team or management since i can't recollect any instances that i have either read, heard or seen them complain about poor umpiring.

In cricket, there will always be a few decisions that will go against every team, after all, the umpires are human. For example, if an umpire gives an incorrect decision against both teams, you can not complain about that umpire. You also need to consider other factors such as how difficult it was for the umpire to make the decision, how close was the decision, who should get the benefit of the doubt, most importantly, the circumstances in the game. In the 1st ODI, Tucker gave three lives to Morgan, and he went on to score hundred for England and won the game. In the third ODI, when Shakib was scoring fluently, he was given a terrible LBW out by Moni, which cost us the game. The above mentioned bias decisions were significant in deciding the outcome of the game. On the other hand, Trot’s out decision was not significant at all, because it would not decide the outcome of the game. So, when a bad decision is made, it should be judged on its merit, taking all relevant circumstances into consideration.

You should also consider that big teams can always recover from one or two bad umpiring decisions, where as team like us will struggle to recover from such bad decisions. That is why ICC should ensure a better protection from bad umpiring decisions for the developing teams.

[BD Tigers]

Aftab was not out, or at least it was not conclusive from the replay. There was definitely a doubt and it always goes to batsman. But because of inept umpire tucker, he does not care.

On the other hand, I applaud Prior's quick response that it was not out, unlike some NZ players.

I think you are forgeting the series between INDIA vs AUSTRALIA where a lot of bad umpiring decisions was given and INDIA threatened to pull out of the series. And if you think that INDIA is a weak side you are dead wrong there ...

[offstump]

we seem to get the benefit of doubt almost never

[arsenalsri]

Well hopefully at least this will spur the team to ask for UDRS for home games. If after this they are still not bothered to get UDRS then may be the team themselves are not bothered about the poor umpiring

[cricketboy]

Shakib was unlucky in the 3rd ODI and also in this 2nd innings.

[offstump]

SO it goes on
