Neutral umpires or not, there are four lbws out of six wickets including for centurion Taylor. We will get one or two. Tell me why this happens - home ground advantage?

Tell me, I heard Javed Miandad was never given lbw at home! The umpires have to run for their lives if they raise their finger against him!

Nothing like that. But in general there were more doubts about umpiring in Pakisthan during his period.How ever for your information he was given 8 lbw's in pakisthan in test matches.

9 times in onedayers. His overall lbw's also low even in other countries.It shows he is a master player. Consider this. In matches he played he averaged above 50 in matches that won or draw.He averaged only 29 in 23 matches that Pakisthan lost while he is playing.

Not just that. Our spinners get some assistance, bowl wicket to wicket, create doubts in batsmen and umpires mind, then a few plays and misses, and hence some appeals. Sooner or later umpire is bound to make mistake. If NZ bowl that way and put our batsmen under pressure, reverse will also happen...
