Bongs have every right to file a complaint against umpires but what is this sight screen issue here? Anyway Bangladesh should have back all of these allegation with their performance as well, yeah umpiring was shitty but they also got out cheaply.
Sledging is part of the game, which i enjoy very much but my sympathy is with Bongs. South African team is no saint and they do play dirty at home. I remember Indian team last 3 tours and every tour had some sort of controversy. Indian did lost all the series but every series was very tough for the SA, they even accused that Indian seamers were trying to hurt them physically with their bowling or refused to play because pitch was dangerous etc etc.
Bangladesh simply cannot get all out for 53 runs and say the umpiring was bad. if the score was close and they lost only because of that decisions then I think it would have sounded a lot more convincing but when you are getting out for only 53 runs you just should not have the audacity to say something like that.
yes, it was bad but not bad enough to get the whole team out for only 53 runs.
I know a lot of people enjoy Sledging but I think cricket is a respected sport. It is A Gentleman's sport. and it should be played in such a way. I know that people or players like to have a psychological advantage in the match but oftentimes they go out of their boundaries to do so.
Agree with you, ICC shouldn't allow any home or away team umpires in international series. A neutral umpire will make the decision less questionable. All of the players and team management of Bangladesh are dissatisfied with the umpires decision. Each team have the option to take review, but they don't do it always as the number of reviews are limited (2 review per innings). The captain of Bangladesh has also said about the intolerable sledging of South African players. They will ask ICC to take steps against those:
Bangladesh to lodge formal complaint with ICC against Durban Test umpiringSledging is just a part of the game and Bangladeshis need to get along. The only solution is to give it back with the same intensity. India was at the receiving end a decade or so ago. I guess it was Sreesanth who first retaliated against this practice (during a match with Australia). Now Kohli and his boys have gone a step further and are being regarded as some of the worst bullies in international cricket. So there are two options - either you need to ignore the sledging, or you need to retaliate with the same potency.
Honestly, I don't even think that the Bangladeshi players know how to sledge or how Sledging works. and they would have given it back with the same intensity if they did not take cricket as their hobby and played cricket as they are professional cricketers. only one player of Bangladesh who really understands this is Shakib Al Hasan.
