The aussies do get a good ride with the umpires and it doesnt matter who is umpiring if its home grown or neutral.

The biggest problem with the Neutral Umpire System is that Simon Taufel is rated the Best umpire by the players but Australia never get to have him as he is Australian, apparently Darrel Hair and Daryl Harper are high up in the player rankings.
It dosen't seem fair on the Aussies and there opposition for good quality serieses because the best umpires can't do the series as they are from Australia.

I was mocking the the tensions between India & Pakistan, they'd go to war with each other over a game of marbles. I do remember a Pakistani umpire being the subject of Indian outcry, would've been in the 80's/90'sORDoubleBlues wrote:Was he an umpire from the '88 tour to Pakistan Topsy?
Not sure if you are mocking my question Punk but you can't deny there were problems with corrupt umpiring in that part of the world
