for worst umpiring decision ever....

3rd Umpire Taufel....what the hell was going on there!??!?


Made his decision after about 8 seconds and got it soo wrong it wasn't funny...
 
I was amazed he didn't at least look at a second replay or another angle. It was incredible that he made his decision so quickly. At the time I felt it was still inconclusive. And upon seeing the front-on replay, it was certainly out. Shame... I had a high opinion of Taufel too.
 
Yeah, I though Taufel was slightly cluey about the game, but that decision was appaling. At top grade cricket, the rules should be totally understood by ever official, umpire and referee.

Let's hope he pressed the wrong button.

I heard on the radio that Tiffin failed to call for the umpire when Hayden was in fact run out from a bowler's deflection.

Was this true?
Yup. Saw it on Sports Tonight. Hayden was out by a good few inches.

Yes, should have been referred, but it wasn't from a deflection at all, De Silva I think was the bowler, fielded cleanly off his own bowling and underarmed onto the stumps.
