Do the umpires want England to win the Ashes?  | | There were three decissions against Australia on day four of this test, that were clearly 'not out' but were given out. The umpires refused Ponting's request to go to the third umpire. Australia deserve to win, but still have a real tough battle. I can't understand why these umpires wouldn't use the technology, when it's available. They should'nt get to umpire another test.

| | | | | | | | 1. venkittaraman (1059) | 6 months ago | yes some decissions are wrong, but it happens in cricket. the problem is that it caused to aus now only, so dont worry. just two or three months ago umpires were afraid to give decission against aus because they were super power and other teams like india faced a lot of wrong decissions. now the things just changed .aus should accept it

mipen2006 (2451) | 6 months ago | Hey venkittaraman, I wasn't referring to the decissions so much, but I'm wondering why they didn't use the third umpire. One decission was clearly a no-ball, and another the ball didn't carry, the third was given out when the ball didn't touch the bat, Now these things happen so quickly, except the no-ball, that the human eye can't pick yhem up. Fair enough. But why not use the technology available, they did in England's innings, so why not in Australia's? Thanks for your response.

mipen2006 (2451) | 6 months ago | Hey Mac, I agree, but why didn't they have to say why they didn't use the technology. I umpired under sixteen cricket, and even at that lavel it was difficult, and the kids certainly pressured you to give batsmen out. But, as in tennis, players have a kimited number of decisions they can challange, and Ponting did challenge, but was denied. That's what I'm dissappointed about. Thanks for responding.
