Lots of head shaking. :lol:
--------------------------------

Still, Venkat outdid him for the worst decision...

That was a shocker dealt to Lara, Bichel bowling from over the wicket gets a ball to pitch on leg and angle towards off, Lara chops the ball back onto his pad, HUGE inside edge and onto the back pad! Umpire Venkat decides that's out

I have never seen Langer actualy accept that he is out he always shakes his head or somthing.

Poor old JL it must feel bad being AA's bunny.

Major text snipped

My memory may not be what it was, but I have no recollection of either sets of fans whinging about the fact that the umpire had ruined their game for them - they just accepted it with good grace.

That's because it wasn't the umpire's fault, it was Samuels'. :P He dropped a simple catch of Ponting on 37... he scored 205 (?).

And did the West Indian fans accept that with good grace? If they did, they shouldn't have.
