The Poor Umpiring In The World Cup Final Between England & New Zealand Has Made Twitter Furious

Umpires arguably have the hardest job in the game. And what’s worse is that no one’s on their side. But even their staunchest backers will admit that umpiring standards in this World Cup have been well short of the mark. Even today, the umpires have already given 3 wrong decisions. While 2 of them were overturned by DRS, Ross Taylor found himself out of a review.

And Twitter has been quite vocal about this!

3 wrong decisions by Umpires already in the #CWC19Final !!

Standard of umpiring in #CWC19Final leaves much to be desired. @RossLTaylor was clearly not out even to the naked eye as the ball had hit above the knee-roll @icc

Dear @ICC, that’s what happens when you choose mediocre umpires for big game like #CWC19Final. Poor umpiring !!
We are really missing Aleem Dar here.#CWC19 #ENGvsNZ
