I'll say Langer.
The umpires have been poor. Langer was not out IMHO.
I think they have adopted the art of Indian umpiring. The only thing it's Australia the home side.

Well Langer got the worse decision...So i would think it would be him.
But Haydens decision was hardly the best in the world either....there was some doubt about the height of the delivery and even whether it hit bat or pad first.
Langer was robbed and r*ped in front of 35 thousand people and no one did a thing.
Hayden was just unlucky.

although maybe slats is in the dressing room...he has a reputation for smashing stuff after being given out. [/B][/QUOTE]
No he just flushes his gear down the dunny !!!!

A couple of minutes before they showed the damage, I heard someone in the background in the Nine commentary box saying something about "Hayden's smashed..."
At the end of the day's play, the ABC radio crew suggested that perhaps a batsman, disappointed at a crap decision, contorted his face into such a picture of disgust that the glass shattered at the sight.

i heard tony greig say in the background "Hayden's broken ......."
who was it... was it richie benaud?? that said the glass probably broke by someone saying "gosh that wanst out" or something much like an opera singer can smash a glass with her voice? if it is, straight to the richie benaudisms
did the umpire get a similar sort of charge?

only temporary ???????
As cricketers say, these sort of decisions tend to even themselves out over one's career.
I remember in the first over of the Aust v NZ Test at the Gabba last summer, Langer was given not out when he was plumb LBW. He went on to get a century.
And Jonothan Agnew's column on the BBC website confirms what has been suggested here, it was Hayden who smashed the window and he has been called up to explain his actions by the ICC referee. He actually might he in a bit of trouble as Ian Healy was suspended for two one-dayers in 1997 for merely throwing his bat up the stairs after being dismissed in South Africa.

I think Healy got rubbed out because he had a prior conviction with the match ref's.

Angry man
Buchanan's explaination is that Hayden opened the door in such a violent manner (it may have been jammed), that he smashed the glass accidentally. He's been fined 20% of his match fee, and given a severe reprimand - mostly because he has no previous convictions. Apparently he's sorry, and oddly enough, i'd believe that.
