Why should the Umpires NOT be fined ..? Its crime to deny the bowler a clean bowled wicket. The umpires already control LBWs & caught behinds. They can also control if they can refer the 3rd umpires for a runout or stumping. They are humans they should accpt that and not GOD. What Bhajji and Munaf did was wrong but why the umpires too should not be evaluated and have some measures to make them pay for their mistakes.
Umpires should forget their egos and see that by all means correct decision is made. there is no logic in repriminding players for argueing with umpire when mistake is so obvious.
yesterday we could see two versions of being agressive...one was bhajji and other was steyn...steyn showed his agression by his excellent bowling spell and bhajji through his verbal spat and we all know which one of these stands out...shame on bhajji coz he cannot prove his agression through his bowling....

At last what is the result at the end of the day matters. DC lost very bad in their consecutive matches, need to work on that rather than showing aggression.
It's a shame that Sachin is in the same team. I am a fan of Sachin when he plays for India or Mumbai, but I don't like the sight of Sachin who is a play toy for the stinking wealthy old lady - NIta Ambani. Amabanis even celebrated Sachin's 100th ton by hosting a party where they showed off Sachin as their property. That old miser Mukesh even said that Sachin has finally achieved what he considered as his dream and prophecy.
No doubt there was an error committed by umpires on not giving out but how can a player force the umpire to ask for third umpire decision. These same players were against DRS and this is very much that of DRS and bhajji must be fined for his action and he being a captian must lead from the front and this is nothing new for him in ipl ...remember sreeshant episode and high time he is banned for few matches for his behaviour...
He ruled Rohit Sharma not out when he was clearly out on the second last ball of the match. It was obvious to everybody except the Ambani boot-licker. That unfair and shameful decision rubbed Deccan chargers of a deserving win.
There are several instances when umpires have used technology (outside of DRS, Run-outs & stumping) when they are not sure of what happened? Say, No-ball....by law they are supposed to call it when the bowler delivers the ball but so many time they ask for review after the batsman gets out. Its a good gesture instead of giving batsman out on a no-ball. Similarly, for full toss above waist height. Nobody is asking umpires to review LBWs (without DRS)but whenever in doubt Third umpire should be used, otherwise...what's the use of 10 cameras on field & umpire seating in gallery!!! Also, the third umpire should be pro-active..if he knows a mistake is happening...go ahead & call on field umpires..even when they don't call him..say for 5 ball over or grounded catch claimed etc...!!
