It's fine to disagree with the decision. It's not fine to come off like a prick,like Warne did.

I'm pretty sure Ponting wouldn't talk total trash about Dar, like Warne did here even if he disagreed with the decision. Even though Ponting had a massive bust up with Dar back in 2011 in Melbourne. Warne's just a petty prick.

Nah, I just umpire on a regular basis. Admittedly I wouldn't have given a similar decision in one of my games, because there's doubt in my mind (and on AstroTurf with U/10 spinners bounce it'd be going over three sets). Which goes a long way to explaining why Aleem Dar is at the WACA, not me.

The reason why he was talking crap was because of his argument that you should take the on-field decision out of the equation, which completely neglects why the drs was brought in.

Yeah, remove the umpire from the DRS decision entirely, and what's the point of having an umpire? Mechanise no balls, check leg byes vs runs with super slow mo, hawkeye all LBWs and snicko the caught behinds, use the cameras to check borderline fours.

Get a security guard out at square leg to stop player fights and any old bloke in a white coat to signal things to the crowd, and you're sweet.

i remember saying recently has DRS removed the point of 'getting down the crease to negate the LBW chance' and someone said no if you're a certain distance down the crease it's automatically not out? or something similar. wonder if that was BS or what

It used to be part of DRS. If it was past 2.5 metres from the stumps it was automatically not out. Might have changed.

also I always thought doubt had to go to the batsmen with LBW stuff. and there was plenty of doubt with Steve that far down the wicket, I'm agree with burgey, it was a bloody guess and he got lucky. not what i want from umpires
