Oh c'mon. You're walking this match.
Is there no accountability with umpires?
Dharmasena is routinely awful and it never seems to matter.

The Aussies just can't help cheating can they.
I really like their winning mentality but it shouldn't be a win at all costs regardless. Really poor from them but even worse was Bairstow reviewing the plumbest LB you're ever likely to see.

Better not review anything, just in case the umpire decides to give caught behind for a ball that missed everything by a yard.
England would have lost this from here if it was a test match.
They weren't cheating at all. There was movement from the ball that they thought was the glove.
Since when was appealing cheating? They asked the question and the umpire made the decision
Roy will get fined for that and his reaction was poor.
But that was a fecking shocking decicison by the umpire. He's no where near it.
Idiotic from Bairstow too.

Who will umpire the final? Erasmus and Dar? The rest suck or are English.
Whether that's true or not, rules state that you dont argue with umpires and walk. Even in football players get banned for confronting refs for poor decisions. You're a professional. Deal with it

6 more wickets in the next 5 overs then Australia will feel they have a chance.

This is such a weird take, clearly haven't played or watched cricket. Batsman usually know when they're plumb or not. Bairstow got selfish here and so did Finch.
Umpires had a blunder but DRS was literally was made for Roy's decision and not for Bairstow's dismissal.
No a world class umpire shouldn't be making that mistake.
Yes be angry with Bairstow but if Dharmasena is making decisions like that he doesn't deserve to be here.
He's just had a century in a World Cup semi-final stolen by an absolute howler of a decision. Don't pretend you'd walk off with a smile on your face.
Dharmasena is awful, not sure why he was given the SF.
Pretty much.
My annoyance with Dharmasena is more than fact that this sort of awful decision making isn't a one off for him. He's a terrible umpire and has been for years and there's no way that he should be standing in a semi final.
Dharmasena also signalled for a review even though we didn't have one.
What's he doing out there?
I think that added to Roy's annoyance.

The ball was nowhere near the glove.
I wouldn't be smiling. But I'd walk off without standing ground and gesticulating with the umps. Basic sport etiquette 101
Carey would have known fine well the ball was nowhere near the glove or bat. It wasn't even close so not having that. Mind you, having a weak umpire who was pressured into giving it even though he looked bemused throughout didn't help
Yep. More natural movement. But hardly can call that cheating, really. All teams would've appealed that
Yeah, right.
I mean it was a pretty weak appeal mate. Loads of teams do this to evade the wide. Dharmasena is just rubbish.
I remember him giving Moeen Ali LBW thrice in three balls and Ali overturning it everytime.
Anyways England are walking it. So calm down everyone. Roy can get his century in the next match
Go back and watch Dharmasena when Australia appeal.
He starts to put his finger up, stops, mouths NO, then puts his finger up. And then he signals for a review when there can't be one.
Atrocious umpiring.

Not pathetic at all. Easily understandable.
We're not angry, just defending Roy's right to be angry.
He didn’t have a clue, it was so obvious. Maybe they should have a review option where they can admit that they haven’t got a clue can you check it for me rather than guess.
What went wrong?
Will end up like all run outs.. Too many reviews.
It would make more sense than the umpire guessing.
Anyone else find Mel Jones to be absolutely boring on commentary? Sanga is great though.
Preferably with 'Of course he's not out, you stupid cnut' on the big screen.
Bairstow does stupid review to a plumb LBW so England have no reviews left.
Dharmasena makes a shocking decision to give Roy out and with no review left he had to go.
Even as Dharmasena was giving it out you could tell he wasn't sure and was guessing.
She's shite. Santa is an annoying cnut when SL are playing but decent otherwise.
Just after that he blew his whistle and pointed to the centre circle before ruling it out for offside and then firing his starter's pistol.
She's much better on radio. More relaxed commentary on TMS than TV.
