he was best ever butcher for fast balling after Viv Richards but did not play up to his potential.

@faisal4478 While it is true that Australia were the last to introduce neutral umpires (and I concede that a couple of the decisions in this match were bad--though not callous) I would argue it was because Australian umpires were professionals and generally more impartial. Aleem Dar is a great umpire, but by the same token an Australian umpire (Simon Taufel) won five consecutive ICC Umpire of the Year awards and probably would have won more had the award existed before that.

@strengthspeedagility oh shut up. enough of this crap

[faisal4478]

@GalaxyHop pakistan is the team that forced icc to use neutral umpires. aleem dar 3 time icc umpire of the year. no doubt umpiring was poor in this match

@83aditya1 Wow, it's a little rich to be told your umpires are bais by a Pakistani? You've never watched a game played in Pakistan during the 8os have you? In fact wasn't Simon Taufel (the Australian) umpiring around this time? He's one of the best umpires the game has seen.

"Replays of debatable decisions were shown much too frequently. After this latest incident, series referee Reid concluded that they were undermining the umpires and took action to limit their use. Before the final Test the ACB drew the line at one slow-motion replay and one at normal speed."

[sweetnothing1977]

"Unfortunately, it was already public knowledge that Parker had apologised to Langer the previous day for giving him out wrongly in the first innings, and in Pakistani minds it all added up to a suspicion that they were not getting a fair rub of the green. Certainly, neither the situation nor the umpire was helped by the fact that, as in Brisbane, the "snickometer" reading was played over and over on the ground television screen and appeared to indicate some contact."

From the Wisden Almanack

The win was not without controversy. Umpire Parker's refusal to judge Langer caught at the wicket in the first hour of the final morning left Wasim Akram, Pakistan's captain and also the unlucky bowler, almost incandescent with rage. A breakthrough then would have made Pakistan strong favourites. [contd]

@robelinda2 Yeah it was Porky Parker the umpire who has umpired me before in grade cricket. He is a straight up and down fella. Not biased for sure. I asked him about this match and he said Wasim was ball tampering and he could not do much about it because they were so sneaky about it.

@robelinda2 ok so this justifies the wrong decision of not giving out.. i see :P

[robbodg9]

That just looked so easy. Genuinely brilliant innings, deserved to be a matchwinning one.
