Do ppl seriously think the poor LBW calls against Aus were as poor as
the mistakes in the Sydney test?

I mean, there were 3 wrong caught-behind decisions in Sydney - all
against India. And a couple of occasions when the third umpire was
available but not consulted - once again in Aus' favor. These are
qualitatively more basic errors than LBWs IMHO.

Suggesting that Rauf and Bowden had as poor a game as Buckson is way
off the mark IMHO.

I'd suggest Rauf and Bowden had a below-average game, with LBWs going
wrong against both teams. If LBWs are all an umpire got wrong, then
he's actually not had that bad a game. LBWs and bat-pads remain by far
the hardest decisions for an umpire. Getting 3 caught-behinds, a
caught-at-slip, and a stumping wrong? That's a disaster.

Well, Wikipedia has an article on the 2nd Test at Sydney.
They have a list of the umpiring mistakes in T2. Here's
a list of those dubious decisions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Australian 1st Innings

* Ricky Ponting (17) given not out by Mark Benson - Ponting
attempted a leg glance off his pads while facing the medium pacers of
Sourav Ganguly. He edged it back to wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
The appeal was turned down by the umpire. Ponting went on to score 55
runs.

* Ricky Ponting (55) given out by Mark Benson - Ponting inside
edged bowler Harbhajan Singh back onto his back pad. Was adjudged LBW
after an Indian appeal to the umpire.

* Andrew Symonds (30) given not out by Steve Bucknor - Symonds
attempted a push outside off to the bowling of Ishant Sharma, but
managed to edge the ball to the wicketkeeper Dhoni. The Indian appeal
for caught behind was turned down by Bucknor. Symonds went on to score
162*.

* Andrew Symonds (48) given not out by third umpire Bruce Oxenford
- Symonds lifted his back foot while beaten by Anil Kumble, Dhoni
appealed for a stumping which was referred to the third umpire. While
analysing the video replays, Wide World of Sports commentators Mark
Taylor, Michael Slater and Ian Healy speculated that it was out. The
3rd umpire turned down the appeal, commentators at Cricinfo saying "in
by a whisker, make that half a whisker". Symonds went on to score
162*.

* Andrew Symonds (148) given not out by Steve Bucknor - Symonds
attempted to slide his back-foot into the crease when beaten by Anil
Kumble, Dhoni appealed for a stumping but Bucknor did not pass the
request to the third umpire, adjudging Symonds not out. Cricinfo
commentators said "he just appeared to have some part of his foot
grounded behind the line". Symonds went on to score 162*.

Indian 1st innings

* Wasim Jaffer (3) given out by Mark Benson - Jaffer bowled by a
yorker from Brett Lee. Replays show that Lee's front foot was outside
the crease that would make it a no ball.

* VVS Laxman (16) given not out by Mark Benson - Laxman shaped to
flick a full ball from Brett Lee down the leg side, further replays
indicate the ball would probably have struck middle and leg or leg
stump. Laxman went on to score 109.

* Sachin Tendulkar (36) given not out by Steve Bucknor - Tendulkar
was struck low on the pad in front of the stumps by the second ball of
the 79th over of the Indian innings bowled by Michael Clarke. Bucknor
adjudged it not out. Tendulkar went on to score 154 not out.

Australian 2nd Innings

* Michael Hussey (22) given not out by Mark Benson - Hussey is
struck on the inside of the right pad deep in the crease off a ball
that turned and kept low off the bowling of Anil Kumble. Hussey went
on to score 145*.

* Michael Hussey (45) given not out by Mark Benson - Hussey turns
the full face of the bat to the leg side and gets a fine touch to
wicket-keeper Dhoni off the bowling of Rudra Pratap Singh. Hussey went
on to score 145*.

* Andrew Symonds (0) given not out by Steve Bucknor - Symonds was
struck on the front pad by a top-spinner from Kumble on his hat trick
ball. Bucknor adjudged it not out. Kumble missed out on a hat trick.
Symonds went on to score 61.

Indian 2nd innings

* Rahul Dravid (38) given out by Steve Bucknor - Dravid tucked bat
and glove behind his pads as he successfully padded away a delivery
from Andrew Symonds. Adam Gilchrist caught the ball and appealed for
caught behind and Bucknor gave it out. Replays revealed a small
deflection of the pads going almost straight into Gilchrist's hands.

* Sourav Ganguly (51) given out by Mark Benson - Whilst the TV
evidence was inconclusive as to the correctness of the decision, the
manner in which it was delivered has generated controversy. Sourav
Ganguly edged the ball to Michael Clarke at slip who was engulfed by
his team-mates in celebration of an apparent catch. Umpire Benson
appeared unsure as to whether it carried and instead of referring to
third umpire asked captain Ricky Ponting for clarification. There was
a prior agreement between the teams that the fielders would be honest
about whether the catch had carried. Ponting, having already consulted
Clarke about the validity of the catch, raised his finger, telling the
umpire that he thought the catch was cleanly taken. He came under
criticism for claiming the catch on behalf of his fielder while he was
himself not sure about it. He had earlier appealed for another dubious
catch off M.S. Dhoni, when TV replays suggested the ball had touched
the ground while he was diving. However, the laws of the game clearly
state a catch is over once the player has control over ball and body.
Clarke had made the dive and was in control, and caught the ball
clearly. TV replays were inconclusive for the Ganguly catch as well,
in which case the batsman normally gets the benefit of the doubt.
However, the Umpire had made his decision without asking for a 3rd
umpire referal and no benefit of the doubt was required.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Test%2C_2007-08_Border-Gavaskar_Trophy

When I counted, there were 10 decisions against India and 3 decisions
against Australia. As you mentioned, Samarth, the 3 caught-behind
decisions and the stumping (3rd umpire not consulted) were examples
of basic errors. Umpire Asad Rauf, may have misjudged the height
factor while adjudging LBW's but atleast he was consistent in his
decisions. Same goes for Bowden. That's a lot better than Buckson
combination.

Most of these, while debateable, cannot be called umpiring errors with
any certainty. What the list does show is that both teams had
contentious calls go against them. In particular, umpires called upon
to give LBW calls on sharply turning balls tend to give benefit of the
doubt to the batsman. They have to make an immediate decision, and
don't get to look at umpteen replays.

Had India shown a bit of spine on the last day the Test would have
been drawn.

OTOH, there are a lot of studies from highly reputable sources (one
study from Columbia University comes to mind), showing Wiki actually
contains fewer errors that EB.

Where does it say in these articles that wiki has fewer errors than EB?

It says: "But reviewers also found many factual errors, omissions or
misleading statements: 162 and 123 in Wikipedia and Britannica,
respectively." This is also from a sample of only 42 reviews in science
fields.

Wiki can be very useful as a starting point, but it isn't the most
reputable source due to its open nature. This would be especially true
in less-read entries and also non-scientific entries that are more open
to interpretation and bias.

Not for a second. Keep on referring to the Sydney Test though, that
will hopefully change something about the fact that the Indian batters
weren't good enough to save the game on the last day. Not much else

Yes, but if you read the OP, Samarth does not mention LBW decisions
in the Sydney Test. He made the following comments
"There were 3 wrong caught-behind decisions in Sydney - all

Agree with that. With a bit more gumption from the top order,
India could have drawn the Sydney Test (never mind the poor
decision on the final day against Dravid and the hotly
debatable one against Ganguly). Irrespective of the final
result; IMO, the quality of umpiring from Bucknor and
Benson in the Sydney Test.
was poor.

Exactly. "Anything Wikipedia says is false" is as preposterous a
position as "anything Wikipedia says is true". Like any encyclopedia,
its accuracy depends upon the accuracy of its sources.

The other point to note is that, in general and in the long term, the
more controversial a subject, the more accurate the article is to be,

AFAICT, though, the Wikipedia model appears to accept "has been
posted to Wikipedia by multiple contributors" as constituting
verification.

Wikipedia's main weakness is that, at base, it's a pub conversation.
It's a large pub conversation, and is open to contributions from
passers-by who know their onions, but it's still basically a bunch of
interested people who might -- or might not -- know much about
something, having a chat.

Only when there's a source given (assuming the opinion is challenged;
which in controversial topics it always is...)

An interesting opinion, and one which does a great disservice to

a) That depends on the lbw call.
Symonds got a huge edge on the ball and it should have been obvious to
the umpire.
I've seen people given lbw when the ball was probably going a foot
down legside and I've seen somebody given lbw when the ball didn't get
within a foot of any part of their body.
b) I hope you'll tell the Indian fans who whinge about Tendulkar being
given out lbw when ducking that.

Depends on the catches and the stumpings.
Catches off the face of the bat near the pads can be damned hard to
pick up.
Symond's nick was a bizarre one.
As for the stumping the initial comments were that the views shown
before the 3rd umpire gave his decision weren't clear enough to be
sure Symonds was out.
The decision not to refer to the 3rd umpire was another strange
decision but again the replays weren't conclusive that Symonds didn't
have some of his foot grounded behind the line.

iirc it was discussed here and it was felt that his foot slid out of

under the playing conditions the umpires can't refer a catch unless

As close to an average result would be 6 one way and 5 the other.
So if you look at a 50/50 distribution by chance figure out the odds
of it being 8 one way...

then ask yourself if Bucknor is biased why he'd give Tendulkar not
out...

I'm not responsible for replying to every Indian fan here who I feel
is wrong, but I personally have always believed that that decision had
no bearing on the result of the match whatsoever. I wrote as much, at
the time as well.

SRT was wrongly given out in I1 of that game, caught close-in off
Warne when he hadn't gotten a nick on it. But as I said, LBWs and bat-
pads are the hardest decisions in cricket, *in general*. I don't
recall the umpiring errors in that game - or for that matter at
Calcutta 2001 - to be *nearly* as poor as Buckson at Sydney '08. Not
even close. Not calling for a 3rd umpire when the fielder grounded the
ball not once but twice is appalling. And that's just one decision.

Including the Symonds LBW shout off Kumble sort of destoys the
credibility of any bias allegation - no umpire in their right mind
would give that when the batter is so far down the pitch. The bias
thing just says a few things about the people suggesting it, we
already know the umpiring was poor.

Have you read anything to do with the agreement that was made before
the series between the two umpires? If you'd like to use actual facts
to support your arguments, you might like to find out what the
agreement was while wasting time.

No. But Bucknor and Benson were scheduled to umpire together in the
2nd test alone. I wonder why they needed to make any agreement, just
between the two of them, prior to the start of the series.

Well why bother when you have absolutely no idea what you're talking

It did happen to the Indian team too. Both SRT and Dhoni were adjudged
LBW when the ball was clearly not hitting the stumps. No outcry.

I counted five threads complaining about Tendulkar/Dhoni's 1st innings

Sorry, the other way around: far more Indian posters than Aussie ones.
Although it looks like the whinges w.r.t. Hussey/Symonds were also
started by Indian supporters. I guess Indians are equal opportunity
whingers.

Please continue to abuse all people who enjoy the game of cricket. We know
that your abilities are far BELOW the STANDARD required to PLAY the game
properly, but YOU still try to make yourself PROMINENT!

You are a CRETIN, recognised by WHITE SUPREMECIST racists and BROWN CURRY
MUNCHING racist monkeys that FROWN upon your RACIST bullshit in ALL CAPS!

To be perfectly honest, most Indians that I know are brown skinned and eat
curry (and much better than the muck that I dish up), so pretty much any
court in the land will forgive my "racist" remarks. You, on the other hand,
equate support of an umpire's decision with not only racism but also child
molestation. How does a ball pitching on or about leg stump somehow become
equal with someone who has their way with an underage person of either
gender?

Please, Andrew, explain some of your outrageous claims and provide evidence.

No, please listen to your gay husband of FBI friend/jason gillespie. He
said I'm a convict and a FBI agent. You should look up to his wealth of
