RE:RE:australia played with 13 players!!!
by shaheen khan on Jan 06, 2008 06:09 PM

well the third umpire cannot be included because he comes into the picture only when he is consulted by the two on-field umpires. this never happened in this test match when bad decisions were given. the two umpires did not consider it necessary to consult the third umpire. he was reduced to a mere spectator.

however, a thought comes to my mind that may be the third umpire was informed prior to the test match of the intentions of the two umpires by the aussies themselves. in that case its a 14 member team!!! but that again i repeat, could be a possibility. cannot cofirm though.
