I think he's talking about the Bucknor one at Brisbane 04 tour
Definitely pretty bad, and much worse than the the McGrath one, but not sure i'd call it all time bad.

There are also two instances I remember of a batsman being given notout when caught at slip
de Villiers vs India

There was a time, up as far as the late nineties even, when the umpires (who otherwise were often quite reluctant to give anything but the plumbest decisions) would fire out batsmen when they padded up, even if it wasn't within a cooee of the stumps.

Not necessarily the worst, but this is really funny.

Wasn't the OP asking for the worst?
Was watching the highlights for that match today. The worst decision in a match with quite a few bad ones, mainly dodgy lbws. Second worst was probably Katich being given out at bat paid with the bat nowhere near the ball.
Does anyone remember one, I thought it used to be on Robelinda's channel, where an Australian batsmen was given out for something for something when the ball missed both the bat and pad?

Okay I'll proclaim it as the worst if it'll enhance your day.

Also I feel like it wouldn't be too hard to find a recent enough Big Bash one that could top most of these.

Most amazing part of that is how Gilchrist just walked right off with barely a complaint! 99% of batsmen would have gone nuts. Could you imagine Kohli or Ponting in that scenario? Gilly always was a bit of a beta ****

It's so weird how this is the only bad umpiring decision in the last 30 years to be widely known as 'not walking'.
I mean, it would be weird if it weren't targeted, cynical whinging.

This was a Not Out from 1977. Not a famous one, but pretty poor. It's safe to say that Rod Marsh was not amused.

Ha ha, the absolute lengths that Chappelli and Tone were going to on commentary there to avoid calling that even a questionable decision (the furthest they went was "marginal"), let alone an all-time shocker.

It was funny because as was conveniently left out from most of the discourse was that Broad hadnt even edged it straight to slip, it went via the keeper's gloves. Was especially lolworthy watching Clarke feign horror when a few years prior he'd actually done the thing everyone accused Broad of doing, the dude smashed Kumble straight to first slip and had the gall to stand and wait for the decision.
