Count of umpiring howlers against Bangladesh

[Miraz]

This is going way too far!! We are constantly getting idiotic decisions from umpires in both Tests and ODI matches. It is nothing new, we were denied in Multan by Russell Tiffin and most recently Tony Hill invented Glove Before The Wicket (GBW) as a mode of dismissal in Test cricket.

I am trying to compile a list of umpiring howlers against Bangladesh. Everyone is welcome to contribute.

ODI seris against England

1. Eoin Morgan given not out after two plumb LBW by Rod Tucker in the second ODI
2. Matt Prior given not by Nadir Shah after equally plumb LBW in the 2nd ODI
3. Shakib Al Hasan given out after hitting him way outside the off-stump while playing a shot by Enamul Haque Moni.


Test series against England
4. Aftab Ahmed given out caught behind by Rod Tucker when the ball came off the pad.
5. Shahadat Hossain given out by Rod Tucker after ball brushed his arm-guard and Prior even failed to collect it. reversed after realising that Prior grassed the ball.
6. Shakib given out by Tony Hill on 4 for Glove Before the Wicket (GBW), a new mode of dismissal only designed for Bangladesh.

Only Test against New Zealand

7. Shakib Al Hasan given out caught behind by Rod Tucker after the ball bounced six inches before McCullum's gloves.


Looks like Shakib is the most unfortunate batsman in our team who was dismissed three times by umpires, not by opposition.

Blame BCB for not forking over the money URDS

they formed a syndicate to make sure shakib cant perform and his rating and rankings go down

BCB should complaint to the elite panel and demand a review of the "given out" cases. In future they will think twice before putting a rookie in BD match.

On other hand, our players need to take the umpires as an opponent as well. Be mindful of their plot and play as clean as possible. A test win against G7 will help us in our cause.

Welcome to the club.

In past, the Indian team had been at the recieving end of quite a few match-turning howlers and our complaints (not to mention the agony and frustration of the fans) were treated as 'whinings of a loser'. To many of us, the sight of Steve Bucknor would strike a terror in the hearts of the faithful! Such was his fear. Long live the deceased (Steve's umpiring).

I believe that anything upto 60-40 can be genuine, in the essence that out of 10 contentious decisions, 6 go against you and 4 in your favour. Anything less than that points to issues that should atleast warrant the umpire being sent on probation. In any test series in Australia, our experience has been consistently like 90-10. Even the not so hyped sub-continental umpires, who are prone to an occassional howlers, haven't been that bad.

Indeed. It was as painful as it is now...I hope BCB talk to ICC about poor umpiring.
Something has to be done ASAP.

I have given up...

if I were Shakib, I would simply stage a walk out of the game...

It's a disgrace and disgusting act of comedy what all these umpires are doing against BD.

I just hate umpires. They are out there to ruin cricket for us, thats pretty much it.

I saw this live. Even English players were surpised when he was given out. Tucker instantly raised his finger as if he was waiting there to give us out. His role in the middle got to be give a BD batsman out, even if the opposition dont want it!

But why?!

Clear Discrimination.

If Australia can tag "the worst umpire of the year" why don't we can? :p lest do it

difficult as we have so many to choose from & tag!

[Ananna]

can't we send an email to ICC complaining about this?
I know this will not change anything, but still it will send a message to them.

I'm off to buy a sniper. Who's on the hit list? I'll knock their stamps over.

^Tucker, Ashoka, Moni bhai. For now.

[Ashfaq]

Moni used to live right across my home in Comilla. Wonder if he's still there. Come to think of it, a visit to my Mom's is long overdue. Hmm......

BTW, i am pretty shocked to see BCB/Team management didn't make an official complaint against Mccullum

Thanks a lot.

had i not been in my office today, i would've opened it myself

anyways, now 2 requests to the mods and the initiator:
1) stick this thread
2) In the 1st page, add a table where all those blunders would be added.

wish someday we would be able to change this trend

[t697318]

for a country like bangladesh, it really hurts the nation, basically we have to get a wicket or 2 more, and have a wicke t or 2 less
especially in tests, it is unacceptable

This wouldn't have been an issue if the team management lodged a WRITTEN complaint on Shakib's first out in NZ where deception was used and leg umpire was sleeping.

Even now team management would not complain against GLW.

If the team management stays happy with the proceedings, we as a fan can only swallow what is being shubbed down the team's throat.

The World and ICC know Rod Tucker as a good umpire. I know he is better than many. However, I also know occationally he gets things wrong which the world and ICC DOESN'T know (or will ignore). They will not know (or keep on ignoring) unless there is an official complaint against him.

আসলেই সাকিব বারে বারে এই কদর্য আম্পায়ারিং এর শিকার হচ্ছে।
ফুটবলে যেমন প্রতিপক্ষের সেরা খেলোয়ারকে টার্গেট করে খেলা হয় এবং কখনও ব্যাপারটা শুধু শারিরিকভাবে আঘাতের দ্বারা হলেও লক্ষ্য অর্জনের ব্যাপার হিসেবে দাঁড়ায় (ব্রাজিলের রোনালদো দ্রষ্টব্য) তেমন মনে হয় সাকিবের ক্ষেত্রেও তাই ঘটছে বলে মালুম হচ্ছে।

We are planning to go on the next Saturday to the stadium. It would be great to me a protest.
