Was there this much uproar when....

[Jaymin]

India beat Australia in 2004 when Australia were chasing 106 for victory?

[youtube]WL2D70UMADg[/youtube]

Hauritz was looking the goods with Gillespie until being shockingly adjudged lbw by Aleem Dar....could have cost Australia the Test Match...can't recall us making a huge song and dance about it...

or how bout when the Indian umpire gave McGrath out when we were hanging on for a draw when the ball would have turned past probably a 2nd set of stumps....Later on he was in the rooms drinking with all the Indian players and celebrating their series win... Many dubiuous decisions against Australia in that series..

Can't recall us burning effigys on the street....

But hang on....this sort of stuff only happens against India when they play Australia. Not for them.

Throw in the 05 Ashes where poor umpiring definitely had an impact upon the result; what did we do, have a massive dummy spit or harden up and use it as a spur to become even better?

And I can still remember the Windies Test when I was about 7, and McDermott was given out caught behind, when he clearly wasn't.

 

[Corrosion]

It's only when Australia benefits from dodgy umpire decisions that everyone starts cracking the shits. It's so funny to see some of the opinions on here after the latest test.

 

[thewhippersnapper]

Don't forget Singh's "hattrick". Only hattrick I've seen with 1 wicket.

No coincidence that Venkat retired after that series.

That ball hit his helmet from memory.

Lol. I haven't seen that in ages. Disgraceful.

But hang on. It only happens for Australia...not against them. Right?

 

[King Elvis]

Hahaha, Warney, what a ****ing legend.

 

[The Chad]

australia responded to losing the ashes by working hard at their game and reaped the reward with a 5-0 victory the next time the sides met.

how has india responded to losing 2-1 in 2004?

 

[stmookeyj]

Can't recall us burning effigys on the street....

We don't burn effigys in Australia because we not only have better things to do, but generally we do have other sports to fall back on and to acclaim proudly. What do India have? Cricket and not much else.

 

[The Chad]

and watching those highlights from the last test of 2004 again....worst test pitch ever prepared. if not for a series of rain breaks the game would have been over on day 2!

 

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

Don't forget Singh's "hattrick". Only hattrick I've seen with 1 wicket.

Haha I forgot about that farce! How bloody dodgy was that?!

How quick is the 3rd umpire on the red light? Reminded me of how fast the umpire's finger was up to give McGrath out to win them that second test in 01.

Everything was dodgy about that game.

 

[Furn]

seriously, the fact that thats the best "bad decisions" against Australia you can come up with, proves they get looked after. Hauritz was out and McGrath was a bit dodgy but no worse than Dhoni or rp singh yesterday. Interesting that in series when Asutralia dont get the best of the umpiring they lose.

That means over 5 years Australia have had as many bad decisions as India had in one test match.

 

[Uhumagoo]

Yes. Mostly from fans but there was plenty of squeeling after those decisions.

 

[GETSOMENUTS]

these facts should have been brought up by an anustralian journo at last nights press confrence. Would have been the best case of suck it up princess ever

They were only the ones against India.... The whole 2001 series was dodgy...

Hauritz was out?!?!? It hit him in line with leg after pitching outside off. How the hell is that out? Physics?

There have been numouros poor decisions. There was the Russell Tiffin/Dave Orchard ashes series where they kept giving Langer and Hayden out lbw to balls pitching a foot outside leg stump....

The point is it happens as many times for australia as it does against...

 

[Jaymin]

Another one here at 4:23...

[LIONS then DAYLIGHT]

The thing is Laxman was plumb LBW in the first innings on about 30 odd and he ended up getting a hundred.

Symonds was out on 30 odd and added another hundred. The stumping was to close to call.

Those 2 cancel each other out, symonds probably got an extra 30 odd runs, didnt make much of a difference.

The only other truly bad decision was Dravid.

It is a lot of bollocks this shit that is going on.

 

[skipper kelly]

Beautiful thread. Gilly was not out twice in the 1 ball.

 

[BK Eaglesfan]

Hmmm, 2nd test, 2005 Ashes rings a bell.

2 - 0 after 2, the series would have been as good as over. 1 - 1 and England feeling sky high, game on and they went on with it.

That decision cost us the Ashes, along with the fact that England then outplayed us to win a second match. I'm happy to acknowledge that, despite the cruel decision, perhaps if India could at least show some acknowledgement that Australia played well it wouldn't be so bad.

 

[Jars458]

Australia at home have been getting the benefit of umpiring decisions for years

The umpiring in this test match has been appalling and mosty in favour of Australia. India were very very unlucky to lose this test match.

Having said that, they have overreacted as they are want to do.

Again though, the Aussies behaviour was unedfying as usual. M Clarke should be ashamed of hismefl when he got out in the second innings. Trust him that he took a catch? I don't think so.

 

[Homer Jnr]

No matter how dodgy the decisions against us were in India, we never suspended our tour.

Yeah agree with what you said. We have been getting a better ride on umpiring decisions in Australia. The umpiring has been shocking and it did influence the result in the end. And yes, Clarke didn't really play in the spirit of the game when standing his ground after that massive nick. And the apparent 'catch' wasn't a catch- Clarke fanboys- it wasn't a catch and replays clearly show it bounced. It's the 2nd time Clarke has done this.

Remember Lee getting Flintoff with the plumest of plumest LBWs, on around 15, not out, then adds like another 50 odd runs.

Bad decisoin, as bad as any in this last test match, but it cost the match and the series and a 16? year hold on the ashes. No winging, England played well. Australia responds by playing better.

 

[Ricketts]

And the Katich LBW in one of the late Ashes Tests, pitched 7 metres outside leg and was going over the stumps by probably the same distance. Cost us that match as he was batting well and we were going to hang on i think, or win, or something.
But yeah... these decisions are always in favour of Australia.
Top thread, maybe we can have it stickied. Start up some sort of archive.
