Ashes 2010 - Ponting v Umpire (Possible Pietersen Wicket)

Aussie captain Ricky Ponting has some things to say to the 2nd Umpire, after Brad Haddin appeals that Pietersen nicked the bat and was caught behind.. the original and final decisions are NOT OUT... however the Australian Captain dissagreed, and make it known, where was his Vice to stop him??

i was there - pietersen started to walk - he had his gloves half off. it was a bs decision. but everyone knows you shouldn't fight with the umpire.

[tiannahisawesome]

@strangergoat So he was out you think? And the Umpire was wrong, but Ricky shouldnt have argued with him .. Just wanting to know if you think he was out or not :)

[strangergoat]

@tiannahisawesome judging by the batsman's response, i'm sure he thought he was out. and that's enough for me to be pretty sure he was - as the batsman, you'd know if you nicked it or not, surely. still, umpire said out, so he's out. I have massive issues with the review system - i feel like it encourages players to argue with the umpire's decision.

[tiannahisawesome]

@strangergoat Okay, thanks for your reply! :) I agree with you in regard to the review system, I think it's like if you dont want the Umpire's decision to count, you dont have to accept it .. you knnow what I mean? You can make your own call, as to what you think.

contd .. My major problem is the Umpire being able to check for no-balls after a wicket is taken, that is ridiculous! As Mark Taylor said, if it wasnt a wicket, no one would have bothered checking if it was a no-ball .. Maybe player reviews are ok, but definately not the Umpire .. just my opinion :)

Ponting is a shamless piece of shit...Pity he was docked only 40% of his match fees...If this was a player from India, Pakistan or Lanka then match bans would have taken place....Aussies suck ass..

AND ENGLAND RETAIN THE ASHES! Sorry, Aussies! US POMS HAVE THEM and WE ARE KEEPING THEM!

hahaha~!

@strangergoat Pietersen started walking after being called out LBW. not after this one.

Bad luck you Aussies! Bad luck!

I really can't see what problem Ponting had with the umpires. The bowler didn't appeal, only the wicket keeper was interested, the only hotspot was on the bottom of his bat which likely came from tapping the bat on the wicket, it was certainly nowhere near where the ball passed the bat. Where is there any evidence that it was edged?

aussie are bad sport and ponting is the leader. THE BIGGEST LOSER.

@strangergoat learn something first and then learn again.

@strangergoat if you were there, you would have seen (as the TV replays showed) that Kevin Pietersen did not walk and didn't take his gloves off, instead stepping back, and then shaking his head to the umpire. I don't think he knew.

I'm all for the DRS, especially here in Australia. Over the years the home team has received the overwhelming majority of questionable decisions in their favour. Warne and McGrath were terrific bowlers, but their excellent statistics were aided by who knows how many questionable or just plain wrong decisions. Andrew Strauss received so many dusty decisions here in 2006, he went on to be dropped from the test team altogether. Thankfully, the days of Australia chiselling guys out is over.

[coventrydavid]

Snicko didn't show up anything, and as a batsman sometimes you generally don't know when you've nicked the ball.

The URS is a good thing in general, it just means that completely obvious wrong decisions are eliminated from the game.

As for checking no balls on a wicket, why shouldn't the umpries do that. Technology has been used in cricket for a long time, with run outs and stumpings, as well as checking if the ball has gone to the boundary, when fielders slide over the boundary rope.

@Menzo20

The stumped picked up Harbhajan telling "Madarchod" which means motherfucker which Symmonds probably was anyways. But the asshole Aussies took this and said it sounded like "Monkey"...
