Re: Aleem Dar admits of wrongly adjudging Tendi out during the last ODI of Natwest Se
Commendable act. Just because it was Tendulkar?? What happens to the other wrongful decisions?
^ there could be various reasons.
1- Media hype that Tendulkar was given out in an all important series decider game when he was in good touch. After all the conditions were perfect for media hype. Do you think media would have said anything if it was RP Singh getting out in an oridinary game. Umpires are also human and they also feel the media pressure when they know they have made a mistake and gave an extremely important wrong decision.
2- Additionally, umpires also have regard for well respected players and at time they are found apologizing to players like Lara, Tendi, Waugh just because of their stature and nothing else.
