Taufel apologises to Umar Akmal
Karachi: Umpire Simon Taufel has apologised to Pakistan batsman Umar Akmal
after footage replays confirmed that the Australian erred in ruling him out
at the Champions Trophy semifinal against New Zealand in Johannesburg.
According to team sources, Pakistan coach Intikhab Alam had a heated
argument with umpires Taufel and Ian Gould at the hearing, called by match
referee Javagal Srinath after the umpires reported that Akmal had shown
dissent on being given out.
Taufel's apology came after the footage of the match made it clear that
Akmal played Daniel Vettori's delivery with his bat, but was given out lbw.
"When the hearing was held, Alam vented his frustration on the umpires and
asked Srinath to run the replays of Umar's dismissal and other key moments
of the match when decisions went against Pakistan," the source said.
"Replays certainly showed that Taufel had erred badly by giving out Umar at
a crucial time" the source added.
It was also learnt that Srinath, the former India pacer was also sympathetic
to the plea of the Pakistan coach after which Taufel apologised to the
player for his mistake.
"Srinath made the point at the hearing that players were human beings and if
crucial decisions went against them they would also react and as long as
their reaction was within the norms of the game it could be ignored," the
source added.
Srinath later cleared Akmal of violating the code of conduct and showing
dissent at the umpire's decision.
Umpiring in the semifinal became a talking point after Pakistan went down to
the Kiwis by five wickets on Saturday, with some former players pointing out
that if it had been India at the receiving end the BCCI and media would have
torn apart the ICC and match officials. - PTI |

A very dangerous precedent as he was indubitably showing dissent. RH

too true: he is no ricky ponting/michael clarke/andrew symonds that
his dissent should go unpunished. does he not know that his dissent is
more dissenting than those of nice aussie and pommy guys?
Whatever flavour of whinge, this was an enormous dummy spit from Pakistan.
For example from an 'unnamed PCB official':
"There were at least half a dozen poor calls that went against us, mostly at
critical situations during the match".
I saw every ball and the above statement is ridiculous. Of course the Umar
Akmal lbw was a real shame, but the NZ innings was punctuated by constant
frivolous lbw appealing, mostly for stuff that couldn't possibly have been
given out. There were a couple of close shouts but nothing more.

This contrasts with his six LBW dismissals during the 1979/80 Test series in
India.
His first LBW on home soil was near the end of 1987, although it's not
apparent whether it was the Indian or Pakistani umpire who nabbed him. That
innings looks like a countdown on the scorecard. R, M, B, 4s, 6s reads 4,
3, 2, 1, 0...

Oops. He was LBW a couple of times on home soil in 1985. There was an
Indian umpire officiating in each of the matches though.
