Fairest Players

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

a simple question...do you think an umpire has ever given a biased decision in cricket? yes or no.

What a ridiculous question! Obviously yes, but who are you to judge when that happened?

 

[royGilchrist]

if you say such a resounding 'obviously yes' then you must have noticed it sometime yourself? Yes or No.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That's a silly assumption.

You asked (and I quote)...

do you think an umpire has ever given a biased decision in cricket?

I replied with a resounding yes. Cricket has been played for centuries. In the history of the game, do you honestly expect me to believe that there has been no incidence of bias regarding an umpire? Of course there has been! However, who am I to point out when that incident occured?

Guilty here.

In one of the only 2 games I've umpired in (this was as a member of the batting side not the game I was an official umpire in with an England International in)

Some kid was annoying me so I gave a blatantly not no ball for throwing.
