Not one of the best, he IS the best.

No worries trigger. The ball was moving all over the place and surely there was an issue with the height? You should apply for a job on the umpiring panel...you'd fit right in.

Give him a go Hawker. Batting at seven in an ODI would be a pain in the ar5e. I reckon he can bat.

Get one call in every 3 right and you my friend will be jetting off to exotic destinations the world over fulfilling the once coveted (he he) role of international umpire.

I reckon he can bat as well, that was why I made the comment. I could excuse his shot from a tail-ender, but from a player with batting credentials. his shot selection displayed a lack of understanding of the situation he was in.

REB Im with Hawker this time, unfortunately.
If Hussey didnt get us out of the shit AGAIN then WHITEs shot would have been disected.

And yes FLEMING is a brilliant captain.
I hope LEHMANN and KATICH observed

ive had some experience in umpiring and in my view it was out.

the computer hawk-eye suggested it was going over the top, but it would be hard for an ump not to give ponting out on that one.

thats my view

Actually i would have thought it quite easy to give not out. If there is any doubt the benefit of that doubt has to go to the batsman. I don't think that the umpire could have been 100% certain that Ponting's was hitting.

by **mighty_tiger_79** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 12:18 pm

well i guess the ball was going to miss off stump and leg stump.............

Has to be more than just in line mt79. Stumps don't grow any taller for LBW shouts :wink:

by **mighty_tiger_79** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 12:32 pm

missing off, missing leg, hitting middle!!!!!!!!!!!

from my vantage point

by **blink** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 12:52 pm

I have to agree with MT_79 on this one. As soon as Ponting was struck on the pad, I knew he was gone. It looked 100% plumb on TV, and the umpire had a better view than us.

by **RustyCage** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 1:13 pm

LBWs are quite easy to call. As soon as it hits the pad, you know if its out or not. Its just a gut reaction, which is usually correct. Bat-pad type calls are harder, but the regulation LBW shout is quite easy.

Must admit as soon as I saw it I thought the height was suspect, Hawkeye later reinforced that ... No drama's though, every team has had an iffy one go against them and I wouldn't be an international umpire for quids!
