| Yes, isn't our Danno unlucky? If he bothered to put the start of his heel on the popping crease instead of the middle of it, he would find he would be less unlucky. Daniel has a history of no-balls, criminal given he is a slow bowler and umpires are watching him because of that history, and they will make mistakes because they are human. Danno needs to take the opportunity for mistakes away from the umpire to stop himself from being "unlucky". Sports people who put themselves in positions where they become unlucky cannot blame it all on the officials. It's funny how the word "unlucky" is not called to mind when describing the great players like Warne, Tendulkar etc. Those guys take the chance of mistakes away from officials, and then they become "lucky" because they get the officials benefit of the doubt as they create a positive history that becomes self fulfilling. |

Decisions go both ways, given not out when you are or given out when you aren't ie Dravid dismissal.
Batsmen should never walk |

Watch more cricket.
Umpires do make errors.
It goes round.
Dravid got a shocker which cost him a 100 and most likely a big one.
Had McCullum caught a nick off the pad of Gautan, he too would have been walked.
Sometimes the ones one eyed are the spectators. |

| Yeah it always seems our umpires go out of their way to look unbiased, but the same wouldn't happen in India, i'll bet ya. |

| Is it just me being one eyed, or do NZ get the rough end of the stick when controversial decisions are made? I just saw the supposed no ball from Danniel Vettori.WTF |
