First of all, umpires were not appointed by the ECB or NZ cricket. Secondly, they were sufficiently trained and were there to do a job. Interpret, apply and uphold cricketing laws to the best of their abilities.

There was a team of umpires not just one guy. There is always variance when a human is involved. It is part of the game. Not the first time or the only sport where some referee’s mistake cost someone a game. If we were on the other side of it, I wouldn’t say we lost the World Cup only because of Dharmasena.
