tigersnake said:What did people think of the Boomer Harvey 50 metre umpire stooge? I’m not being precious here, its gamesmanship/ cheating, whatever you want to call it. I’d be fine with it if it was us, and I’m not really against it ‘cos its them. What annoys me is that Harvey has been singled out and lauded for it. Jon Brown said it was ‘great leadership’. This is by the same media types, a herd of sheep, who have been tut-tutting players for staging for frees. To be fair, Dunstall said the umps should never guess and pay only what they see. I’d go further and say that if an ump actually spotted it, the free should be reversed, just to raise the stakes.
I’m not saying Harvey should be condemned for it, but he also shouldn’t be praised for it.

Tigers of Old said:Was clever. The umps need to be awake to that type of cheek.
LeeToRainesToRoach said:Yep, clever. Umpires don't like being made fools of though. Might cost him in the long run.
jb03 said:He is 390 odd games into his career. think he has beaten the long run.

IanG said:Its cheating pure and simple, not sportsmanship, I think he should be condemned for it in the same way those staging are, or to make a comparison with cricket those who appeal when they know the umpire is correct.
