No, that should maybe lead to the umpire being banned, but his reaction went way beyond a show of dissent in the heat of the moment.
But what caused the dissent? He knew he had not hit the ball with bat or glove.

Dharmasena on the replay, clearly hesitated raising the finger. He was influenced by the appeal in desperation of the Aussies.


That he had not touched the ball, was proven beyond doubt, before he left the field on the big screen and on tv

Not a player in the game that would have reacted any differently

Stephen, in cricket, you just don't do it. What outcome did he think he was going to achieve by it? Were the umpires going to say "ok, stay in then" or the Aussies going to withdraw the appeal?

The immediate reaction, almost certainly. The persistent childish arguing, not many.

I know that but he’s human, we’ve prepared for this for four years and he was given a stinking decision

The Aussies could have withdrawn the appeal, it’s their prerogative.

His reaction was one, which every batsmen in history would have shown

This is the sort of situation where drs would soothe problems. However when it’s limited to one unsuccessful review, the chance of a dodgy one coming increases greatly

Imo this incident should see the third umpire get in the ear and state there’s an error. Clear wrong decision, there was no argument when it was shown.

The third umpire can call a man back when a bowler is a scintilla over the crease but not when a clear obvious error has been made by the umpire. Needs clearing up imo

Not many World Cup semi final situations though. There is only one chance to win this in Roy’s career in England. It didn’t happen but a collapse because of it, may have done.

The technology was there, the third umpire knew it, commentators, and eventually dharmasena was informed

DRS = Dharmasena Review System

:lol: He is umpiring on Sunday. Going to be under real pressure. To be fair, I think he gets a hell of a lot spot on, but this time, he even hesitated.

I don’t blame the Aussies as it was desperation from them, trying to get any wicket.

It didn't remotely affect the result. The Aussies were being humiliated, they'd have loved watching him make a fool of himself.

It is clear. DRS is supposed to be used for clear errors, not plumb LBWs. Bairstow was childish too and they both need to have a look at themselves and work out who was really to blame, preferably before the final.

After the event it proved not important. In the heat of the game, a semi final, once in a lifetime, it’s a perfectly understandable reaction

England have been known to collapse spectacularly and if they did, can you imagine the stink watching the proven cheats celebrating after getting a decision like that in their favour?
 
True, but having now seen it I think he's got off lightly. Just giving the review signal would have made his point, but standing arguing the toss the way he did, like a kid, knowing there was no way the decision was going to be overturned, was disgraceful, especially when you've got the game already won and a final to look forward to.

When you get in the dressing room throw as much stuff around as you like, but I think his behaviour was pathetic and embarrassing.
I can't blame him in the slightest, personally. And his hot-headedness is one of the things I love about JRoy.

Think Dharmasena was lucky not to have Jason's bat wrapped round his cannister!
 
I'm pretty zero tolerance on player behaviour towards officials mate as it filters down to grass roots. Accept the decision like a man and vent off in the dressing room like people have for generations.

Same with Dhoni going on at the end of that IPL game - appalling.

On a selfish note I'm delighted he's playing though!


How about when its an obvious cock up from the on field umpire the 3rd umpire reviews it?

Yep.
Dharmasena was going to give a wide, the bowler appealed in a desperate attempt to make the umpire doubt the wide, and he put his finger up - he even half shrugged and puffed out his cheeks as he put it up!

That, IMO, is far worse than JRoy saying "f***ing embarassing" a few times.
