Indian Management to File Complaint Against Aleem Dar

Shukla asserted that India would not just grin and bear it and said, "We will follow whatever is the procedure and lodge a complaint."

WTF is wrong with the Indian team/ management? Sore losers, can't accept defeat and want to lodge a complaint over one decision. And someone better tell me why they think Dravid was not out.

[Athlai]

Disagree TBH, nothing to do with being sore losers, there were a few decisions to many that were wrong IMO and the standard procedure is to complain about them, hardly calling for anyones head or blaming anyone.

[Perm]

They have a right to go through whatever procedure they feel is necessary.

[Jono]

You sure its not based on the whole tour? Because the umpiring was poor (for both sides) throughout the tests and ODIs.

India are beginning to whine more than Pakistan about how everyones against them blah blah. Be careful

Dar made 1 decision for and 1 against India in that match. To lodge a complaint against a very good umpire just seems pathetic.

The article doesn't mention any mistakes from the previous games, only the last one. Besides, it doesn't look like it's based on the whole tour, I'm pretty sure if India had won, they wouldn't have made a issue of the decision(s) that went against them.

[Dasa]

Nah.

There is a reason such channels exist - and India utilize those channels if they feel they need to, that's fair enough.

No matter what the Indian management says people would look at their act with a India vs Pakistan (Dar is a Pakistani) angle, but TBH there were far too many poor decisions made throughout the series but hectic schedules are to be blamed for that IMO.

I doubt many people, other than those who are extremely cynical or racist would even contemplate putting the India/Pakistan angle on this particular matter. It makes no sense, as Aleem Dar has proven in the past he is a very good umpire and has done a good job of officiating in games involving India. Also, it must be noted that Simon Taufel made a couple of mistakes also, the most notable when he gave Tendulkar out for 91 during the Trent Bridge Test match. I can see how you would blame hectic schedules, but I don't think that they are the reason behind the poor umpiring in this series. Perhaps if we only had 5 ODI matches then there would have been less mistakes, infact it's pretty likely because there would have been two less games.

Basing the complaints on the whole tour would've been the more logical thing to do, and perhaps this is what India are doing, but the article indicates that they are only complaining about the two poor decision made by Aleem Dar in the 7th ODI, which could be interpreted as sour grapes quite easily.

[Athlai]

Has anyone actually heard the Indian team accusing these decisions as to costing them the series? I haven't read anything along the lines of it but I may be wrong, but the spin thats being put on it, makes it sound like India are trying to have Aleem Dar lynched.

The umpiring wasn't all that bad, and I agree with pup, the schedule is more to blame than anything, Tendulkar has been unlucky though.

The umpiring has been very poor TBH, below the standard I would expect the two best umpires in the world to set. It's just unfortunate that both of these umpires had a poor run during the same tour, even more so that the tour was such a cracker! Tendulkar has been very lucky, has anybody kept an account of how many dodgy decisions he has had in both the Test and ODI series?

[Athlai]

Lost count.

[jammay123]

if i was india i would also complain not just for this match. the worst desicion in paticular was the sachin one in which MBE collingwood bowled one outside the line and was to high which deprived tendulkar of a hundred on the tour.(one of the numerous times this has happened
