How many Australian test wins were due to favourable umpiring ?   
Question for the master statistician Aslam Siddique:

How many Australian test wins were due to favourable umpiring ? :=)



Tony Cozier on Umpiring in Aus vs WI test

The decision that favoured Andrew Symonds on a gloved leg-side catch was 
the exact opposite to that against Dwayne Bravo off his thigh pad at the 
start of Tiffin's triple intervention. They inevitably raised, once 
again, the increasingly debated subject of the use of television 
technology to aid umpires for each one was shown, on replay, to be flawed

West Indies v Australia, 2nd Test, Antigua, 4th day

A strong case for technology

Tony Cozier

June 3, 2008

That is the nature of the game but West Indies again had more than their 
fair share on the fourth day of the second Test on Monday.

The most crippling were three in the space of four balls by Russell 
Tiffin that helped Brett Lee's awesome spell of fast swing bowling 
before lunch turn a match slowly but surely heading towards a draw into 
the probability of an Australian victory.

Another, late in the day by Mark Benson that denied Jerome Taylor a 
deserved third wicket, was less significant. But the decision that 
favoured Andrew Symonds on a gloved leg-side catch was the exact 
opposite to that against Dwayne Bravo off his thigh pad at the start of 
Tiffin's triple intervention. They inevitably raised, once again, the 
increasingly debated subject of the use of television technology to aid 
umpires for each one was shown, on replay, to be flawed.

Last March, the ICC board approved a trial for an umpire-review system 
that would allow players to ask the on-field umpire to review any aspect 
of a decision, other than line, in consultation with the third umpire. 
Each team would be limited to a maximum of three unsuccessful referrals 
in an innings. The ICC's cricket committee, comprising eminent former 
players along with umpires and media representatives, endorsed the 
proposal at its meeting early last month.

Had it been in operation yesterday as many as six decisions would have 
been reversed - 4-2 in favour of West Indies - and the Test might have 
been in an entirely different state entering the last day with the home 
batsmen under pressure to bat out the available 98 overs.

They seemed headed towards safety through the first hour and a half as 
Shivnarine Chanderpaul was steadily accumulating another of his now 
habitual hundreds and Bravo, intent on not wasting a lifeless pitch and 
a sound start, had dug in with him for a partnership of 132. It all 
changed when Lee was handed a ball 94 overs old by captain Ricky 
Ponting. Immediately, Australia's strike bowler was bending it like 
Beckham. In the modern jargon, the ball was "reversing", swinging sharp 
and late against the polished side.

Striving for pace and still adjusting his radar, Lee was just off line 
with the fourth ball of his second comeback over. Angled down the leg 
side, Bravo attempted to turn it off his hip, one of his favoured 
strokes. Wicketkeeper Brad Haddin tumbled to gather the ball, Tiffin 
raised his finger to verify strong appeals and Bravo threw his head back 
in despair before trudging off.

Reason for his reaction was soon evident as TV replays revealed the 
deflection was from his thigh, not his bat. Such decisions are difficult 
to detect but it is usual that batsmen get the benefit of any doubt.

Denesh Ramdin replaced Bravo and copped an unplayable first ball, fast, 
swerving late into his front pad and heading for the off stump. Up went 
Tiffin's finger to Lee's insistent appeal for lbw. Darren Sammy let 
Lee's - and Tiffin's - hat-trick ball pass dangerously close to off 
stump. An intervening over of Andrew Symonds offered brief respite.

Lee's next ball was a repeat of that to Ramdin and the outcome was the 
same, crashing into Sammy's front pad for Tiffin to once more raise his 
right index finger. In each case, the off stump would have been knocked 
back. In each case, the TV replay clearly indicated the pad was struck 
outside off stump, geometry that should have negated the lbw decision.

Late in the day, Benson lapsed into errors of his own, giving Symonds in 
on his gloved catch and Lee out to a catch off his forearm. In six 
hours, the case for the use of technology had been appreciably advanced.

You deliberately chose to ignore the fact Brett Lee is not
a top order batsman.

Australian team regularly gets more favourable decisions than
any other team in cricket from the umpires.

It was proven in the last Aus vs Ind series and again in
this Aus vs WI series.

Well, duh. That's what happens when you don't allow the best umpires
to stand in tests which Australia plays. The best umpires are
Australian.

not sure what you're on about, but I'm pro-technology and anti-crap-
umpiring.

the 'hear hear' was in support of "the case for the use of technology

Correct. That has happened because of MANY dodgy decisions over that
period. I have campaigned to bring this to light over the past 3-4
years at rsc. Not only is Aus's winning record is therefore greatly
inflated, but so to the batting records of ponting and hayden, and the
bowling records of mcgrath, warne, lee et al. this is not to say they
are not excellent teams or players: they are. It is just that they are
not so far ahead of the pack. Bring on technology and the gap becomes
smaller still.

Getting Sydneyed: to move quickly from a winning to a losing position
playing against Aus due to bad umpiring decisions.

 From what I read on rsc Andrew Dunfords opinions are well regarded.
He said Darrel Hair gave bad LBW decisions.

No need to change your daily habit of poking all your orifices
with that same stick.

Old fellow,

Your buddy Draco missed poking all your orifices today with his
god given tiny biological stick.

You better hurry up before he starts screaming and crying
after having lunch and dinner. lol

You chose to leave Brett Lee's bad decision comment while leaving
out others.

> had been appreciably advanced."


You did a great job but fact is Australia gets majority of favourable
umpiring decisions as has been shown in the last Aus vs India
and the current Aus vs WI series.

Getting Sydneyed !!!

Great one.

It should become the standard cricket term to describe
bad umpiring in the future.

You chose to leave Brett Lee's bad decision comment while "snipping"
bad decisions given to WI players.

Spanditt,

I never stopped you from killfiling me and that other "Indian lunatic" 
StraightDrive.

It is not surprising that you do not have any problems with "Australian" 
and "English" lunatics Paul Bailey, Paul Robson, Mike Holmans.

You sure are a synonym for hypocrisy.

do not snip the real facts in Aus vs WI test that Aussies get
all the critical favourable umpiring decisions.

Do you realise how stupid you look when you say;

1) I have to quote stuff not relevant to what I want to talk about
2) that the 'real facts' were that the aussies got 'all the critical
decisions in their favour'

I'll say for the last time (in this thread), my snipped quote
contained all I wanted - that there WERE bad umpiring mistakes that I
think more technology would solve.

I don't need some racist, paranoid, conspiracy, bullshit, mad and
juvenile theory about all elite umpires cheating to help Australia.

I feel sorry for you. So much hate. For no reason. Or sadly, for
possibly very good reasons. Whatever turned you into the fucked up
person that you are must have been terrible, and beyond healing.

Well what you need to do is to go back over all the Tests for the last 10 
years and go through them ball by ball and then convert the number of leg 
mate appeals against decisions given in favour.


The go back to the studios involved and confirm the calibration of their 
devices like hawkeye etc


Then go and have a course in 2d v 3d animations etc so you understand the 
difference between a TV view and a 3d view


Now go and do all this and come back in 10 years or so with all the figures

all this just to please you when easy evidence is available in any
test match featuring oz? no, thanks.
what you need to do, simply, is to get spectacles and see a shrink to
deal with your lunatic hyper-nationalism. come back later in the
afternoon, the world will look different, literally.

That is the fact in Aus vs WI test. Majority of umpiring errors were
in favor of Australia.

I will say it for the last time too.

Read this threads subject title.

You deliberately chose to leave the umpiring error of Brett Lee and
snip the bad umpiring decisions against WI players.



> I don't need some racist, paranoid, conspiracy, bullshit, mad and
> juvenile theory about all elite umpires cheating to help Australia.


There you go. I do not post comments for "you".

Your needs are your problem.

You are angry, upset and went berserk because I exposed your
deception of snipping the decisions against WI players and leaving
the decision against Brett Lee in your comment.

I feel really sorry for your pathetic life full of deception and
lies.

I'm glad you've finally seen the light and changed from 'all' to 'the

Both "All" and "Majority" are correct in the context of the
comment and Aus vs WI test that ended yesterday.

I really feel sorry for you are nit picking on some silly word
to misdirect the cricket lovers on rsc away from your deception.

You are a poor cretin like your fellow ozzy friends Spanditt,
dechuka and the rest.

They are not two different things when "All crictical" and "Majority"
of decisions went in favor of Australia and against West Indies.

All= 100%

Then you have no business to refer to StraightDrive as "Indian lunatic"
in your comments.

When will you grow up and take responsibility for "your" actions ?





> If hypocrisy is telling you that you don't have any idea, so be it.



Hypocrisy is abusing and calling a poster "Indian lunatic" while
simulataneously loving your fellow Australian lunatics Paul Bailey,
will_s, dechuka, jzfredericks, fish womper etc.

here's the delusion test;

do u think the favourable umpiring in Syd+Ant+any-other-test-you-want
was due to crap, yet honest, umpiring... or due to a bias* favouring
australia?

*in my books if an ump is knowingly biased then baised == cheating

here is one for you: if, over a 15 year period, one team gets
'favourable umpiring' (including not calling for 3rd umps, 3rd umps
ruling not out even when the whole world can see it was; all benefits
of the doubts going to one team and not one to another, one team has
players given out when obviously not, the other team has players given
not out when they are obviously are), what do you call it?

if he incompetence was evenly spread, i would have nothing to whine
about. was that the case in sydney, antigua etc? why did lara get
given out on so many occasions in aus when he was not? where does
'playing the umpire' (warne) or 'theatrics' (langer)? why do aus
players who abuse on the field, show dissent, hang around after being
caught at second slip etc never get pulled up for dissent?

you tell me boss, i don't know.

is there a clear line between the umpires KNOWINGLY cheating and them
being bad?

'bad' includes non-deliberate stuff like; letting pressure/reputation/
crowds effect your calls

If you agree there's a difference between cheating and being
bad...again i ask...what side are you on?

That's my delusion test, and it'd be nice if you took it

What's more believable... you have a victim mentality further enhanced
by your blatant nationality or that there is a secret conspiracy
amongst the elite umpires and cricket organisations that has continued
undetected by the press and public for 15 years to aid the Australian
team and disparrage any opposition?

The only reason people notice the bad decisions against the opposition
is because Australia wins. It's no surprise that when Australia loses
people suddenly notice the bad decisions against them (a series of bad
decisions against Australia in India a few years back comes to mind).

to my knowledge, i have not called the umpires crooks or cheats, i
have called aussies crooks and cheats for playing the umpires,
theatrics, and so on. i feel some umpires are biased in favour of oz.
if they were uniformly bad, i'd understand. when their mistakes favour
one team overwhelmingly, then they have let those extraneous factors
affect their judgement and should be removed. all umpires make
mistakes but they should not make mistakes favouring one team only. i
don't think any current umpire is a cheat. hope that clarifies my
position.

I agree with you that the aussies pressure/persuade the umpires better
than any other team around. I won't call this cheating or being a
crook, though, even though i don't like this part of the game. You
have to realise that EVERY international team does this - it's just
that the aussies are better than most teams (like most facets of their
game).

The mistake you are making is using the word 'biased', especially when
you agree it is NOT deliberate, but rather a mistake by the umpires.
By common definition 'biased' means prejudice and deliberate, which IS
cheating when it comes to umpiring.

Blame the aussies as much as you want, and say the umps are bad at
their jobs, but you really should stop calling them biased or cheats.

It is cheating, like McEnroe yelling at the linesmen, gamesmanship,
cheating all the same Oz is the best in that and cricket too as proved
in the IPL!!

Let's start with this, which as far as I can tell, was made by you:

"if, over a 15 year period, one team gets 'favourable
umpiring' (including not calling for 3rd umps, 3rd umps ruling not out
even when the whole world can see it was; all benefits of the doubts
going to one team and not one to another, one team has players given
out when obviously not, the other team has players given not out when
they are obviously are), what do you call it? "

Have you gone back over the 15 years and analysed all of the
decisions?  There has been 650 tests or so played over that period,
but unless you can point to some hard, unbiased, evidence - rather
than relying on hysterical ramblings of rsc posters - that has counted
all of the bad or near things, then your statement is nothing more
than something based on anecdotal evidence.

Don't just concentrate on the Australia games, look at all 650 of
them. Otherwise you might be missing some blatant examples of whatever-
it-is-you-are-trying-to-prove in games not involving Australia,

When you have analysed all of the decisions, come back to us, and then
we might be able to determine the affect the umpires have on results
over that period.

actually, and i have said this before, i use the word bias purely in
its statistical meaning, without attributing motive. hope that
clarifies things.
