Here are a few wrong decisions of our "trusted" umpires on the IND-ENG Tour
"WRONG" DECISIONS
Wrong decisions - the details
This is not an exhaustive list - it's as good as we've been able to do given the limitation of not being able to watch international cricket 24/7! If you know of other poor decisions then please email cricketburble@gmail.com, but note that we won't list any decision as wrong unless there is some "proof" normally found in commentary and analysis on the web if the TV footage isn't available.
Below, we've given a verdict on whether or not the result of the game was affected by the decision - this is purely subjective and can't be proved in any way.
