Ashes Cricket in England 2013

[samh004]

Well, at least it wasn't LBW this time!

 

[JohnK]

And Watson another start and it all ends in disappointment again....

 

[QF WP]

Bugger, missed it - had let my wife start to watch some eps of Eastenders on our main TV.

Now in our bedroom watching it again - hope to see the dismissal again

 

[samh004]

I see Rogers is on 19,999 FC runs, pretty good going! Shame he's at the end of his career.

 

[samh004]

Strange decision? Rigged?

 

[QF WP]

Not out - his bat hit the top of his pad!! What a crock. No hot spot, audio showed the noise before the ball passes the bat. Who was that bloody idiot 3rd umpire...there should be an immediate complaint lodged to the Match referee.

 

[tuapekastar]

Flabbergasted! Both at the insane non-overrule, and why snicko is not part of DRS.

 

[JohnK]

Complaints aside this is starting to look like an all too familiar story.

The third umpire decision was woeful..but don't forget, even without the technology, he would've been out.

 

[Rallo]

I am starting to come around to the Indians mistrust of the technology, just woeful umpiring .

 

[Shelf]

What a lousy decision!

 

[Rallo]

Well batted Chris Rogers, hopefully a century in the making.

 

[Moonshiner]

Anyone know who the third umpire is?

 

[Rallo]

Anyone know who the third umpire is?

Dharmasena who actually played Test cricket for Sri Lanka so how did he get it so wrong?

 

[samh004]

I think Kevin summed it up well,

Ooh, twitter is a gold mine of memes and quotes.

And the 3rd umpires wiki page has been, uh, amended.

Does it say former Test umpire?

Some interesting edits,

In 2013 Kumar was paid a large sum of money to match mix the third test of the Australia v England ashes series. Kumar's future as an umpire remains in serious doubt.

...more commonly known as Kumar Dharmasena The moron Umpire , is a Sri Lankan cricket umpire who is blind and former international player.

The edits even labelled him as mentally retarded.

Rumoured to have been dropped on his head at age 2, Dharmasena made a controversial decision in the 3rd Ashes test match of the 2013 Series and subsequently was held captive, tortured,raped and murdered by several bigfooty members.

...more commonly known as Kumar Dharmasena the cheat of Manchester

 

[Flashback]

I trust they mean match fix not match mix .. :mrgreen:

Well, time for me to turn off the light with Aust 2/129
