Pakistan’s Saeed Ajmal still flummoxed why Sachin Tendulkar was not given out (2011 WC)

More than five years may have passed but Pakistan’s top off-spinner Sajeed Ajmal still can’t “understand” how Sachin Tendulkar was adjudged not out when he was rapped on the pad by him during the 2011 World Cup semi- final.

The 40-year-old Ajmal retired from all cricket after Faislabad lost to Lahore in the National T20 Championship yesterday.

Batting great Tendulkar, who top-scored with 85 in that game against arch-rivals India at Mohali, at times struggled to pick Ajmal’s variations.

It was Ajmal who finally dismissed Tendulkar.

“I was totally convinced I had him in front of the stumps but how the umpires didn’t give him out I still can’t understand,” Ajmal said.

He admitted that bowling to Indian batsmen spurred him on.

“It was always a test of skills and nerves when bowling to Tendulkar and company.”

After a successful but controversial career, Ajmal finished with 178 wickets in 35 Tests, the last of which was at Galle in Sri Lanka in 2014, where his bowling action was reported for a second time.

Disgraced people don't get a guard of honor and a retirement press conference and tributes from ex players and the media.

This might be a tough pill to swallow for some.
 
Saeed Ajmal retired from competitive cricket on Thursday but the mystery spinner from Pakistan is yet to solve one puzzle from his cricketing career – why Sachin Tendulkar was given not out during the semi-finals between India and Pakistan in the 2011 World Cup. In a recent interview, after announcing his retirement, Ajmal said that he is still perplexed over why the Decision Review System (DRS) overturned the umpire’s lbw ruling against Sachin Tendulkar even though the ball appeared to hit his pads plumb-in-front.

“I was totally convinced I had him in front of the stumps but how the umpires didn’t give him out I still can’t understand,” PTI quoted Ajmal saying. While replays revealed that the ball pitched in line but according to Hawk-Eye prediction the ball was missing leg stump. Hence, the decision was overturned.

“I was 110% confident when the referral was made that the batsman was out,” Ajmal had said earlier. Later on, Tendulkar went on to score a critical 85 that earned him the Man of the Match award.

Meanwhile, after announcing his retirement from the sport Ajmal criticised the ICC for the way it handled the controversy surrounding his bowling action. “I am retiring with a heavy heart because firstly I think the ICC’s protocol is too harsh and if all bowlers today playing international cricket are tested I am sure at least 90 percent will fail to clear this protocol,” Ajmal said.

Sachin got away with that one big time but he was also dropped like 20 times in that match so in the end that's what Ajmal should be focusing on because although there's so much corruption, you need to hold on to your catches.
 
The DRS team took an eternity to process that one.

I think that day BCCI realized how easily DRS can be tampered: hence their reluctance to use it next 5 years.
 
Ajmal realizes this is his call to fame in Pakistan, expect him to milk it for all its worth.
 
Set aside your hate for Ajmal and think of the incident in isolation. The decision was definitely iffy, specially if you consider the fact that even the on-field ump gave it out and then DRS showed it missing by a huge margin.
 
They got our 3 best players banned to clear their way and you are crying about a single dismissal.
 
A guy who has chucked his way to Pakistan folklore , had an lbw turned down by supposedly fair DRS and look who is the culprit?? BCCI . Awesome

It was out. This video shows that even the replay was tempered, let alone DRS.

Ex players like Miandad, Yousef, etc, have you seen all of their off field behaviour and judgements?

PCB is still deluded and blind, or they just don't care about chucking.

Giving Ajmal all of this means that they're okay with chucking, they want players to win us a couple of series and then get banned, and the process goes on, all the while our image drops, spitting on crickets name, and honest cricketers in the shadows

I think manipulators did a bad job. They should have made it miss by a very small margin.

Impact on off-stump, while batsman is stuck in the crease and bowl misses leg-stump by three inches. RIP physics :broad

The impact was on middle stump and almost a couple of feet in front of the crease.
 
I remember that moment. I was watching and it looked absolutely plumb. My face dropped when it showed it was missing the wickets.
 
Still dont understand why he keeps discussing this years late
 
Lots of theories on that decision.

Oh get over it, England never whined as much about the fact that Miandad should've been out twice against Derek Pringle in the 92 world cup final, or that Botham was given out caught behind incorrectly when the ball touched his sleeves not the bat...
 
Perhaps the referee was a time traveler and knew Ajmal's action will be deemed illegal in the near future, hence making all his deliveries illegitimate. Therefore he time traveled all the way from the future to manipulated the hawkeye.

There can't be any other logical, rational and satisfactory explanation.

Any theory about aliens being behind this? Or any thesis on perhaps why this decision proves that the world is flat?

There might be some legit reasons to doubt the computer's projection. Softwares can be buggy or perhaps sometimes human eye arent the best judge.

My problem with statements like this is that instead of concentrating on issues we can't control and indulging in relam of delusion, I'd rather point out all the dropped catches. These players should first look at their shortcomings and hold themselves accountable instead of sounding like little children.

This thread is not about that match, but of that one specific incident. Congratulations for missing the point.

I'd hope it's the journalists who keep on bringing up these issues and the players are just unable to shrug off such questions due to their naivety.
 
He could have played down the incident even if the question was asked by a journalist. There was more to his career than a single delivery. Sad that he chose to whine and grumble.

Not sure he's the only one not just talking about that specific incident. You seem to be discussing some other unrelated LBW decision were the ball hit the batsman in line with off stump on the crease and then missed by a huge margin which can't be this one...
 
Why does he have to make statements like these? Always bringing up the past? He should Just move on and retire gracefully.
 
I's pay to watch a punditry show with ajmal and younis hosting
 
Ajmal was chucking horribly in that World Cup anyway. The real mystery is how he was even allowed to bowl in that match.
 
If my memory serves me right they took they took a long time to go to ball tracking with this dismissal. Not entirely sure why but I guess it was enough of a delay to make a couple of phone calls.

That is just my theory.

No, it shows how far the ball travels between the last frame the camera captures it in and the predicted point of impact of the ball.

True, but just calculate the trajectory from the live play clip, you'll know the difference.
 
I think the game was played 6 years ago and discussing about it now does not make any sense. Pakistan also dropped like 4-5 chances of Sachin in that game. So it was not like that was the only chance Sachin offered during that innings.

The machines do it better and hence DRS. If humans were to do that , the umpires would've been enough.
 
I saw the video a number of times. The ball pitched well outside off and the impact was on the middle stump, looking at the turn it's obvious, the ball would have either hit the leg stump or would have missed it. There have been so many instances similar to this, not sure why Pakistani fans and Ajmal is making an issue out of this.
 
He's free to say whatever he wants. That was a big moment in his career. It is not strange if he mentions it after 6 years.

Must have been a brilliant con job. Tampering software in 5 minutes. Predicting beforehand such a situation would happen was also perfect con job. And to top it all it was done on live tv .
But considering the possibility that the replay actually showed ball missing stumps is not a valid theory obviously
 
The "God" gave Pakistan so many chances and they refused to accept it, and the chucker has audacity to cry till now

We still cannot handle the fact that we lost fair and square and contributed to the defeat with our pathetic catching. So we need to create myths and conspiracies to shift blame. Cant believe evn after 6 years people are still talking about that lbw even though it was a perfectly fair decision. Delusional stuff.
 
I think too much was made out of that episode.Tendulkar offered many chances after that lbw reprieve as well. But let's also not kid ourselves, that DRS replay was doctored, that looked out lbw to the naked eye

I have a better opinion on this,

Divine intervention... it was meant to happen for India, it was meant to end this way for Sachin. He was supposed to be the best batsman in the semi final regardless of the dropped catches, it was the pressure of the man that made those mistakes happen

Like Fakhar Zaman's no-ball and all those missed inside edges in the CT final..
 
When I watched the incident I thought it was out and I still believe it was out.

I recall it took a long time for the replays to be shown.....

So what in your view was the 'error' with the hawkeye projection?

respecting someone who cheats or steals is showing to the others that its okay
 
In the end, it wouldn't have mattered. His buddy was on a mission to make us lose that match anyway.
 
Nobody cares. It's been 6 years, let's win the next one. We have a very promising team without people like this, except for one shaks (:hafeez) but the new crop of youngsters are driven and can't see this sort of mentality from them.
 
Its ok the story has a happy ending. The semi final heartbreak was avenged at the Oval. Mohammad Amir avenged Saeed Ajmal.

Chucking and cheating are different thing ..he did not do after icc ban so waht are u sying...go through the whole thread i have explained it.
 
^ And this was 2011 when the technology was much younger. Today in fact seems far slower, with that snail-paced no-ball check and ages needed for ball tracking to come online.

and today our Joshila bhai made the following post

Well, DRS has been dodgy in South Africa before? No?

But once BCCI has accepted DRS there is no use complaining in mid series.

But yes Supersport must be let known that things won't be allowed to go on like this

So it could be dodgy when the decision isnt in Indias favor but its a conspiracy when it involves Pakistan

Well, assuming what SuperSport said is true, there was certainly no tampering for this. It was the cleanest of clean wins for India.

Really?

Then you should be holding Indians to account for their shameful outbursts in the SA Test.

Yes, really. And it doesn't matter what I think of their outburst. There is nothing in the code of conduct for railing against the broadcaster so not sure what punishment should be meted out to them.
 
That was a case of Hawkeye tampering if it ever occurred.

Tendu know he was out but his Prem Chopra smile knew he was to get away with it.

Why is it his responsibility to correct others? So 1 Pakistani account trolls, it's responsibility of other Pakistani accounts to correct him?
