Unacceptable umpiring
The match between India and Bangladesh was filled with controversies and broke the hearts of millions of Bangladeshis. I simply cannot understand how the umpires can deliberately do this despite there being video evidence. Why is Bangladesh singled out by umpires? How many matches have we lost due to wrong decisions? Commentators mentioned Bangladesh being “late bloomers" and have very few wins against the top eight sides, but no one talks about the quality of umpiring. From Ashoka Disilva, Steve Bucknor and now Ian Gould and of all umpires, Aleem Dar, an award winning umpire made the wrong call. Why can't wrong decisions be reversed? India could have won without cheating and the game would have looked a lot better if it went to the wire but it seems that umpires have also made their own slogan, "We won't let them give it back".
