Think we need to talk about this. There has been some dubious officiating in this series and most of the decisions have gone in favour of Aussies. Let it be KL Rahul dismissal in first innings of Perth test match or giving Rohit Sharma out LBW on clear inside edge. These umpires also raising fingers in a flash with minutest appeal from Australian bowlers. However, plumb lbw's like the one against Mc-sweeney in Perth test was not given on field for which we had to use DRS.

I have noticed this trend from NZ series and want to call out the following umpires for their open biasness against India - Paul Reifel, Chris Gafney, Richard Kettleborough, Richard Illingworth and Rodney Tucker.

 

BGT 2024/25: Umpires in spotlight after controversial LBW call goes in favour of Mitchell Marsh - WATCH​


Question marks were raised on the standards of umpiring in the second Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) Test match between India and Australia on Saturday (Dec 7). Playing on Day 2 of the pink-ball Test in Adelaide, Marsh was given not out on an LBW appeal drawing comparisons with KL Rahul’s controversial dismissal in the Perth Test. Fans did not hold back on the ‘double standards’ in umpiring and took to social media to showcase their anger.

Looks like Cricket Australia is desperate to win this time against India after losing last 2 series at home and resorting to all unfair tactics.
 
I'm not sure if there is any bias as I haven't watched the Indian series enough

But I am sure that across the fan most people who are involved in cricket have a deep dislike of India due to their own behavior and conduct.

Could this manifest as an unconscious bias against India?

Perhaps it could.
 
Players recalling the dubious umpiring from 2007 series which India only lost due to umpires

 
Relax fellas its only 1-1

Pakistan is always on the rough side when touring Aus and SA. Guys like Hair, Doctrove and Erasmus mostly played as 12th man for other sides.

Or the ever classic 'Indians Phir Ro Rahaay Hain'

BTW, if Indians have so many issues with umpires (who are neutral as we all know except when Indians can't get their way), can they advise how they suggest we can solve this? Maybe not allow umpires to raise their fingers against their batsmen (have a finger cap that locks during Indian batting) or just allow India to automatically contest every single decision?
 
so India can go around do whatever they want, discriminate and boycott and make unreasonable demands.

But the moment an umpiring decision doesnt go there way, they start to complain......

Many of us who have interacted with Indians, know this is their typical behavior.
 
The last time Aussies did these things were in 2007 when Bucknor decided to play for Australia as 12th man.

I think losing last 2 series at home against India has made them desperate and they are resorting to old tactics. However, unlike 2007, we have DRS this time. So lets see how far they will go with blatant biased officiating.
 
Good thread @Rajdeep

Many delusion fans will be exposed in this thread at th3 end of the series

Australia is very desperate to win a test series against india as they haven't won from a decades , so definitely umpires will Play supporting roles to win them a series. :kp

Exactly! Those who can’t tolerate even a single biased umpiring decision now expect the ICC to make a major biased ruling in favor of their board and country. :inti

Tell the BCCI to flex their muscles again, just like they did with the two-way hybrid model. :kp :inti
 
I would humbly request posters not to derail this thread and stick with facts. Read the OP where I have explicitly mentioned the dubious decisions which merits a discussion. Pls take your personal ego battles in some other thread. This one is only to discuss one sided bias umpiring we have seen so far and to track the howlers that will come in remaining 3 test matches.
 
I don't agree with the biased umpiring statements at all. You lost - got beaten fair and square - own up and do better. Blaming others and not your poor performance is a cop out and a recipe for disaster. Aus and Cummins owned up after the 1st test and came back strongly. Dont blame umpires or drs - blame the pathetic seniors rohit kohli. And mental midget klrahul- one good test and he's done for the series.

Sorry but it's embarrassing to blame the umpires for the pathetic performance by Ind. Man up and get ready for the 3rd test. All these are excuses- toss, pink ball, day night, biased umpiring, etc etc. Conditions are the "same" for both teams. Show some fight, put up big 1st innings scores, catch well, bowl tight lines- just the basics no rocket science here. Ind team should take a good look at themselves before complaining or giving any excuses. If they do- they absolutely deserve to lose and get hammered
 
The umpiring seemed fine to me, we got our pants pulled down fair and square at Adelaide..

Pink ball test is a bit of a lottery for touring teams.
 
People are missing the point. Just bcoz we lost fair and square, doesn't mean we can't discuss the poor decision umpires have made this series so far. Also, Pink ball test losing doesn't count.

So tell me, what would Chris Gaffaney from New Zealand and Richard Illingworth from England gain from Australia winning a Test match? Unless your suggesting the game was fixed.

Are we discussing poor decisions made by the umpires throughout this series or just in the second Test? If the focus is on the entire series, why didn’t you start this thread after India won the first Test? Starting it only after India lost the second Test makes it seem like a case of sour grapes. :inti
 
Bat first or pad first are happening far too often. India has faced this 3 times recently. India was at the wrong end all 3 times. They need to get better at it.
 
for anyone who watched the test you'd know that there was plenty of rejected appeals from the umpires even when Australia was doing the appeals, inside edges not being caught sometimes isn't a big deal and happens all the time, Rohit got out the same way first innings so maybe umpires just assumed it happened again.
 
Rajdeep said:
Thread is not about Indians attitude overseas. I am not following this argument at all of going after a nation when my intention was to only discuss biased umpiring. If shoe was on other foot, same posters will cry foul. Let me know if you can add some substance to the topic in hand rather than derailing the thread.
Click to expand...
It's 100% relevant. Indian players/fans/ posters have no right to complain about biased umpiring.

An entire tournament has to be shifted into another country becoming a hybrid model simply because one country is finding non sense excuses on not to come.

You can play the terrorism card all you want, but it's dead set clear that India is just bullying pakistan for the sake of bullying pakistan.

Hence they have no right to complain about biased umpiring or any sandpaper type nonsense or anything bad that happens to them.

Discussion is about entire series and will be used to track the remaining 3 tests as well. I was waiting for some media outlets to highlight it first before creating a thread on it rather than just giving my own opinion. Now that WION and reputed outlets like Republic tv is reporting it, its time to discuss.
 
Given what India brings to the tables in terms of TV rights and global coverage the umpires should really behave more appropriately.

This Kettleborough and Illingworth or whatever their names are probably only gets paid salaries because Kumar and Indirjit watch the match.
 
Jay Shah should look into it after the mega blockbuster of Ahmedabad 23, where he invited ModiG to sit in pin drop silence.

How about relaxing the rules for elite panel and flying in some Umpires from Nepal Premier league

Bad umpiring decisions are common they happen against all teams. That is why there is a DRS, the problem is with DRS protocols . DRS should be universally applied just automatically check every dismissal with DRS, so wrong decisions can be weeded out. Don't know why you are mentioning McSweeny because he was given out via DRS (so that issue was resolved). If Rohit Sharma had a clear edge, why didn't DRS not pick it (or was the DRS never consulted?).

Aus play pink more. They are too good. Other teams barely play with pink ball.

Ball does make a difference. but aus still favourites.

Throughout the series as kl rahul was incorrectly given out too. But yes it is what it is. Move on
 
I think it was more of a technology blunder than 3rd umpires. But yes, no doubts, the decisions have been controversial.
 
Few decisions haven’t gone India way. But I think Australia deserve credit for being so determined and putting their A game in second test to draw the scoreline. You won’t see Australia playing this good and putting this much effort at home vs any other team to win a test match so credit to them. :kp :inti
 
Op,

You are making some valid points, I haven't noticed this type of behaviour for a while from the umpires in the India matches, till recently. It started with NZ tour of India, I felt the umpires would be rather hesitant to raise the finger on close calls when Indians appealed but gave it to NZ rather quickly.

In Oz series I am noticing a similar trend but not as bad as the NZ series. @DeadlyVenom raised a valid point, maybe the umpires are put off by the whole Indian cricketers attitude: being a little arrogant and show boating like they are more important than rest of the world...

Lastly NO I am not saying NZ would have lost had the umpiring been more neutral however imo yes umpires have been more favourable to India's opposition over the last 2 series which is not fair however Indians have the reviews so they can always negate any advantage the umpires give the opposition...

No issues for me as long as it's not a repeat of Sydney, 2008. Steve Bucknor deserves a 'Bharat Ratna' for his performance in that Test match alone.

Indians would have won that series in 2008 wasn't for Bucknor.....Yes Bucknor definitely deserves an Australian of year award with a citizenship in the country for that performance. Bucknor was Australia's best player on the field...

Bro, you guys still crying about Jayprakash when none of Kumble's 10 wickets were due to him. However, we can't discuss the blatant cheating going on against India since NZ tour?

Indian Fan Removed For Waving Sandpaper During IND vs AUS 2nd Test, Video Goes Viral​


The second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 at the Adelaide Oval will be remembered not just for the cricket but also for an off-field incident that reignited memories of one of cricket’s darkest days. An Indian fan, attempting to mock the Australian cricket team for the infamous 2018 Sandpaper Gate scandal, waved a piece of sandpaper during the match, drawing both cheers and jeers from the crowd. The gesture quickly went viral on social media, adding a dramatic layer to an already eventful game.

Looks like Bhartiya fans are upset with umpires and reminding the Aussies of their cheating past.

This guy did a smooth surgical strike but looks like snowflake Aussies got triggered and got him removed.

That doesn't seem a good enough reason to remove someone from a match.
 
It's possible.

Although I don't think it's been egregious.

However, I noticed Siraj was constantly doing those "celebration" appeals where bowlers don't look back. He was even wrong with one which 100% irks umpires. You do that enough times and you will never get those 50/50 calls ever again. It's one of the reasons a captain has to tell his bowler to stop with that stuff.

DRS will eliminate the howlers but umpires can still get you with the 50/50 calls.

This is hilarious. What a hero.
 
Indian fans will be only happy once they finally produce a fast bowler with 200+ test wickets at average under 23 or 25.

Not too far now hopefully :ua_smile :inti
 
Umpires continued to play under bad light when Indian last pair was batting. As soon as the Indian team avoided the follow on, the called it a day due to bad light.

They also tried to change the ball multiple times to give Aussies a harder newish Kookabura to get the last Indian wicket.
