[VIDEO] The Michael Vaughan - Justin Langer incident in 2002/03 Ashes

[gani999]

One of the most controversial catches. Michael Waughan hits the ball and it goes straight to Langer, who, catches it??

The third umpire declared Waughan not out but Langer insists he took the catch.

It also could have been that at that time, even the fotage available to the third umpire wasn't so great. So he gave the batsman the benefit of the doubt.

So what do you think? Was Langer cheating? or was Waughan really out?

The best series of Michael Vaughan's career. Could never replicate that form again.

Langer was a nasty cheat as well. Remember him taking the bails off against SL, nicked straight to slip and stood there because the SL’s didn’t celebrate like crazy and the umpire bought it! Also, he lied to his father about that infamous Wasim nick in the 99’ tour.

Really? Justin Langer complaining? Watch this video here. Pakistan could have won this match and if I'm not wrong(correct me if I'm) Pakistan could have won the first ever Test series in Australia as well. Even Justin Langer had admitted few times that he had nicked the ball.

Any bad luck that falls in Langer's path, I couldn't be happier that it happened to the most deserving guy...little nasty cheater who pretended to act all tough and fair!

 

[Savak]

If only Pakistan had Snicko and Hot spot back then

Langer should be the last one complaining about anything. The amount of cheap stuff he's pulled over his career stains his excellence as an opener.

Pakistan could have won this match and if I'm not wrong(correct me if I'm) Pakistan could have won the first ever Test series in Australia as well.

Yeah, I was alive when this happened. It was a pathetic match. Pakistan would most likely have won this game if the decisions weren't miserable.

Don't recall a series win situation, but those days, against that team in Australia, winning 1 test match was considered such a massive achievement that this game sticks in your memory.

Horrible moment to remember as a child. Remember being felt on being robbed of a certain victory especially after the 99 world cup final drubbing agaisnt them.

 

[Oligochaetes]

Man! Wasim Akram had such a short run up, but was still lethal!
