Billy Doctrove the incompetent fool.

I really don't want to say he is biased but i am afraid he is incompetent for sure. Fod God's sake how could you miss two plumbs in a row. You can give him the benefit of the doubt on first call but how could you miss the 2nd one. Its was NOT an no ball in my mind and there has to be conclusive evidence to over turn the call. Doctrove's call was NOT no ball. There was not enough evidence to call it a NO ball. What Bull****. This is huge decision hence changed the entire game.

The only way Pakistan can get calls their way is if they are not assisted by such incompetent umpires.

Asif you are the feaking man! Next over gets rid of McCullum without having to rely on Billy the goat.

worst umpire in cricket .. not biased .. but totally incompetent.

Meh, incompetent for sure. He screwed up the Fulton lbw decision too.

Thats 3 in one inning.

So it's confirmed even Rudi is another incompetent goat. The commentators have just opened up the rule books and the rule clearly stats the "foot only needs to land with some part behind the line". The key is landing not what happens after that. The replay clearly showed it landed behind the line and slipped forward due to follow through. Remember Billy did not call it a NO ball and once Rudi realized he was plumbed he went back and looked at the NO ball replay and called a freaking no Ball. I really don't trust these umpires anymore. Taufel is only man with some integrity in my mind.

Martin Crowe and rest agreed...Pak got screwed!

Rudi, hopefully you and the Blind Poodle (Doctrove) both burn in hell for eternity...then you get picked to play for the Hell XI and get Doctrove as the umpire, rest as they say would be history!

Billy is the affirmative action quota beneficiary...if he wasn't from a certain country, he wouldn't even be allowed to umpire club game...

You make a good point. Rudi got it wrong big time.

Even Smithy the Kiwi in the commentary box was jumping the gun initially and called it a NO ball while McMillan called it good ball straight away. Once Rudi looked passed the intial no ball replay Smithy was in two minds and thought he was going be given out. Yet Rudi showed his incompeteny even with the help of technology. What a shame to have such guys officiating at this level.

I am absolutely disgusted. Somebody get me water please.

Yup everybody is biased against Pakistan

The thread isn't alleging that, its quite clear from the heading that we think Doctrove is thoroughly incompetent.

I think this new reviews system is having a negative impact on onfield umpiring. If its close enough, the umpires will no longer give it out, they'll leave it up to the fielding side to get the correct decision if they REALLY believe it is out. Not good for cricket overall.

And the other thread on Rudi.

And yup review system sucks, this is why Aus don't want it. Just adds to the confusion not reduces it.

How blind billy didn't give McIntosh out is beyond me. That looked so plumb.

Don't think he is biased but just a downright incompetent fool.

Gave Fulton out incorrectly, then incorrectly gave McIntosh and Elliott not out.

Utterly hopeless.

Will have to disagree on this one.

Is this your thorough response?

Why don't you present your argument rather than banging on your keyboard with no purpose. What do you think about the two calls and how they were handled?

There is quite the difference between incompetency and biase don't you agree? Maybe English is a foreign language to me and i am talking out of my freakin behind.

Please englighten me with what you think i said and what my argument is all about?

At least read the thread before posting

Referral System is pretty useful but there is no hope if you have people like Rudi running the show.

He is as blatant as it gets.

stupid

This thread does not need a proper response, neither does the other one.

Umpires made a decision that went against Pakistan. Build bridge, get over it.

I remember this guy gave not out to plumb lbw against Dravid in 2007. Sami was bowling and his decision changed the whole outcome of the game.

ICC should fire him ASAP. Incompetent umpire.

That was Dave-another-racist-cheat-Sheppard...

Che how about you do some editing of your posts?

That's my opinion...you don't have to agree with it...but stop being averse to others' right to freely express their opinion...

Billy Doctrove is an incompetent umpire no doubt about it.

I am not sure about the no ball and it was touch and go to be honest. What Rudi should have done is stuck with the call on the field. If Billy hadn't called it a no ball then keep it at that.

Anyways.. decisions go against every team. We just notice it more when it goes against us. Although we all can agree Doctrove stinks.

Cheguvira, that name calling was really unecessary.

In 2007, David Sheppard was retired. It was Doctrove who gave that decision against Dravid in Pakistan tour of India 2007.

Ofcourse the decision went against Pakistan. No question about it and I am not going to move on until i call out on this incompetency. This is exactly what i did until you hijacked my thread with your worthless jibrish. If my thread wasn't worth commenting then you should have stayed away but i guess i must have hit ther nerve. I simply laid out some evidence and the rule book on this thread and you came back with absolutely nothing. Maybe you should stop watching cricket if such match changing decisions are not worth considering when the impact of of it could possiblly change the entire series.

We get some and we don't get some.

The Peter Fulton one should never have been given to us yet we celebrated it. Why didn't we create a thread about Taufel's bias against NZ?

The fact is that we are blinded by our passion and love for Pakistan. The fact is that NZ also got owned and we did as well.

It's all part of the game. It's another fact that Doctrove is right out pathetic because he sure is. He always has been horrid and today he's proven it again.

Billy cost us our proud unbeaten record in Eng remember.

He's the second worst umpire I've seen, forgotten the name of the worst now. That Indian guy 3/4 years ago, my personal highlight of his umpiring career was Shoaib Malik bowling Harbhajan in an ODI and he actually referred it to the third umpire.

aha I finally remember his name, Hariharan! That guy made Doctrove look like Taufel.

Ofcours Fulton's decision was wrong but He walked off knowing well he could have used the review system. He didn't so he could only blame himself. I opened up the thread keeping all the bad decisions in mind and hightlighted the two because these were absolutely outrageous to start with. I do understand sometimes umpires get it wrong but bad decisions are typically forgotten if there is some element of doubt. In this case both of these idiots got it wrong even with the help of technology and time on their hand. Absouletly pathetic and i felt obligated to express my frustration.

D Sheppard was not umpiring in 2007 but i still remember his decisions that went against Pakistan in 1999 world cup final. Inzamam and afridi were wrongly given out

he also made some poor decisions that went against Pak in some tri-series finals between Pak and aus in 2001 and 2004

I hope that fat white turd, Sheppard burns in the deepest part of hell

Wow. Just wow. I'm speechless with disgust.

He just got one right

He actually passed away i dont know if u know that or not..

Stop posting. You're the reason Pakistanis are getting a bad rap across the world.

That is just purely in poor taste...not called for at all no matter what!

He just passed away and our religion teaches us not to say such things about the dead...

have always thought Dcotrove is a pathetic umpire...seems nothing has changed

Doctrove should not be umpiring international cricket. He would be more suited umpiring in under 11s cricket.

I have absolutely no idea how he is still in the ICC elite panel.

Just because it is grass roots cricket doesn't mean they deserve an umpire like Doctrove. I think he is best suited for....um....maybe football, their referees don't seem to catch much

Doctrove is finally being exposed for the poor umpire he is. How he has been on the "Elite" (I use this loosely) panel for 10 years is astounding. Seems like any Tom, Dick or Harry can be an umpire.

I am lost after reading that - I havent deleted it because it needs to be seen by all.

Hell for a few umpiring decisions?
If thats your yardstick then what of the true villains of this Earth.

Cricket is just the game. We all make mistakes. Just enjoy the game without being harsh or insulting to anyone

ctrl+D it...

junoon, you uncivilized retard... you deserve to be banned. I hope you were exagerrating because if you actually think like that you're seriously messed up!

As for the OP, umpires make mistakes... it happens. LBW decisions have always been the hardest decisions for umpires to make because of the number of factors the umpire has to quickly calculate. Too high? Going down leg? Struck in line? Batting out of the crease? Etc, etc. I never (almost ) get worked up over lbw decisions that are given not out.

OK that may have been a bit harsh, but i stand by my views

Sheppard cost us the 1999 world cup final because of his wrong decisions to give out inzamam and Afridi. Sheppard was a cheat and also made wrong decisions in 2001 and 2004 that went against Pakistan.

I don't forget these kind of things easily. Never forgive, Never forget

I think you forget, that this is JUST A GAME

I think you forget, that some people think the only way to show you're a true fan is to act like a spastic at every opportunity. It's unfortunate but that's the mentality of modern fans in any sport.
