BCCI to protest inept umpiring
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will lodge a formal complaint with the International Cricket Council over the 'incompetent' umpiring of the second Test against Australia, team management said Sunday.
Australia dramatically won the Test by 122 runs in the penultimate over of the final day at the Sydney Cricket Ground to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as holders with two matches left in the series.
"I have been informed by the BCCI that they are lodging a strong protest with the ICC, so that some of the incompetent umpires do not umpire in the rest of the series," team manager Chetan Chauhan said at the press conference.
"The way the umpiring was, the team is agitated and upset.
"A lot of decisions have gone against us. Of course, a few went against the Australians also. But it really affected us," he said.
"Had some of the decisions, I would say 50 per cent of the decisions, been received in our favour, the result would have been different.
"We're not saying this because we have lost the game. It was for everybody to see."
