Worse umpiring I have seen since the Aussie umpires stood at both ends in home series

Chris Gatlin of NZ gave Gayle out three times in one over. Gayle sent for the review on all three occasions and was unlucky on two counts for his dismal. Umpires call got him on his 3rd review but the ball before he was out Starc bowled what will be the biggest no ball in the comp, at least 2 foot over the line yet the umpire missed it. Ummmmmmm.

Ja, don't let the facts get in the way.

To me you sound unhappy about the success of certain individuals (Archer, Steyn, De Villiers) - continuous jibes about “money before country”.
Cricket South Africa are being sued by the South African Cricketers’ Association – this is about money.
So, a dig at acknowledgement of deep values and ‘doing the right thing’ is tough to swallow.

But, as they say, opinions are like assholes.

It’s okay if you don’t like me. Not everybody has good tastes

England openers looking very good and with the score at 67 after 10 overs looks like 390-420 is going to be the score to chase

The standard of umpiring in this WC has been poor to say the least.How he thought de Kock hit that when it was obvious it came off his shoulder.

Some of the decisions have been so poor, it made me think that Javed Akthar was a good umpire...

Nobody could accurately see whether De Kock touched the ball –
if given out, batsman would immediately go to review if he didn't hit it – review not lost
if given not out, fielding side goes to review, loses review
Ump made best decision under circumstances

With Gayle the 1st review – the noise came from the ball nicking the off stump!

South Africa have produced some fantastic black bowlers.
Why is there no black batsmen in this World Cup and was there any in the last?
