3 Worst Umpiring Decisions Ever..!

Top 3 worst umpiring decisions ever...! 

1. Umpire Joel Wilson's wrong decision denied Zimbabwe the highest ever run chase in World Cup history. 

Chasing 332, Zimbabwe were just hanging in there thanks to Brendon Taylor and Sean Williams' 149 run partnership. With 32 needed off 19 balls, the game was on for the two set batsmen. This is when Williams hit one to deep mid-wicket and was caught. The decision went to the third umpire for confirmation. 

This is what the fielder's foot looked like when he took the catch. 

Take another look! 

But to the dismay of Zimbabwe, Sean Williams was declared out! Zimbabwe lost the game by 5 runs! 

2. Umpire Rudi Koertzen's blunder not only cost Kumar Sangakkara a double century but Sri Lanka a historical victory in Australia. 

Chasing 507 runs, Sri Lanka had made 265-3 before they suffered a collapse which reduced them to 290-8. However, on one end was the impregnable Kumar Sangakkara. He had scored 192 when he went for a pull shot against Stuart Clark and missed it by a country mile. The ball hit his arm and was caught by Ponting at 2nd slip. 

The Aussies, however, appealed and the umpire declared him out. Sri Lanka lost the match by 96 runs.

3. During the 1st test match at the Gabba in 2003, Steve Bucknor gave Sachin out to a ball that had not only bounced way too much but had also pitched a mile outside off and had barely moved in. 

You could hear the commentator call bullshit on the decision as soon as it was given. Even to the naked eyes on TV, that looked not out. Sachin, too, was visibly disappointed at the decision.
