My worst childhood memory that, yes worse than Crowe being dismissed for 299.

It's just Rob being Rob I think. Also I think he changes titles regularly and puts in those ones to deter/make obvious stealers.
Here's another one. Nasser is certainly up there in unlucky decisions.
He got an equally bad one in an ODI against Wasim bowling over the wocket. Ball pitched absolutely miles outside leg stump and it's debatable whether it was doing enough to even clip the stumps. Would have been a great delivery to a leftie as it would have been right in the corridor of uncertainty but to a right handed batsman it wasn't even close to lbw.

Hadn't seen this before, it is amazing.


The inflammatory youtube title is completely unnecessary. Vaguely sarcastic use of 'idiosyncratic' here is much more effective.
Haha not even out if you're playing one hand one bounce.

This one cost NZ a test win at the MCG (finished in a draw) - back when Danny Morrison had hair and wasn't a commentator. Talking of commentators they knew plumb when they saw it

I tell you what, how whippy did DKM look in that clip? I just can't equate that with the happy-go-lucky f**ckstain of a commentator that he is now.

How about that no ball to get bravo today? Always looks terrible when third umpires make glaring mistakes.

The real AB was just on tele in the SL-Aus game recounting the appalling umpiring incident during the 85 Ashes when Philkips it the ball in front of Lamb before it richocheted up and shower caught it. Was given out. Terrible.

There's two sides to that one though. According to the umpire and the English the ball bounced off Lamb's boot on the full.
It's here and I defy anyone to make out the ball at the crucial moment.

Yup.

Bit like someone's comment I read elsewhere this morning still claiming that Broad edged straight to first slip when he refused to walk at Trent bridge in 2013.
