Poor umpiring
On viewing the two one-dayers played so far between Bangladesh and NZ in the current cricket series, we are very much shocked to see the unjust decisions of the umpires going against Bangladesh only. In the first match, Bangladesh failed to get a positive nod from the umpires against their appeals on a couple of occasions when NZ batsmen were out. Even in the first match the leg umpire stopped a full shot of one Bangladeshi player by his own hand which would have been a boundary. In the second match, Ashraful was given out when the cover fielder caught a bounced ball. This is a huge injustice in any count and unfortunate for Bangladesh! If all the decisions were correct by the umpires, then NZ had really tough days. Their defeat was no far.
By seeing all these, we cannot but think that discriminations in many forms still exist against developing countries like Bangladesh by the so-called developed countries.
