Finally you wake up!

Man trying deflect and distract from Nicky Poo's bratty behavior! Imagine there are youngsters who look up to this Fella and hope to emulate him.

What ya talking about Voicey

Powen wanted Poooooo ta marry one of his daughters

Powen is a man of the cloth; he can spot good character peeps.

Notice lately how Powen has been showering praise even on Pollard.

Powen must ta have a vision. TKR will be the champs in 2025.cool

Jumpy ...

That was 2017 , the umps have improved.

We're talking about the eliminator game here. Such games do not feature rookie umps in other leagues.

nitin menon was given the 2019 ipl final before he even joined the icc elite panel

Five howlers that put spotlight on umpires in IPL 2019
Kieron Pollard was fined 25 per cent of his match fee after he showed dissent at the umpire's decision in the final of the IPL 2019 between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

Pollard was visibly unhappy with a decision made by umpire Nitin Menon in the final over of Mumbai's innings at the summit clash on Sunday which MI won by one run to clinch their fourth IPL trophy.

Pollard was irked with the umpire's decision to not adjudge a delivery by Dwayne Bravo as wide. Mocking the decision, the West Indian all-rounder went on to take strike well away from the stumps and near the 'wide-line' before pulling away as Bravo ran in.


Nitin Menon refused to declare Dwayne Bravo's third delivery of the final over a wide despite the ball being at least a couple of inches outside the guideline and Mumbai batsman Kieron Pollard not shuffling too much from his original position. An inc...

the ipl has money, and the quality of the play is generally very high. the umpiring leaves a lot to be desired and this has been a historical issue. im not even expanding on preity zinta blowing out an umpire this year and ishan kishan's wide ball caught dismissal

dude....i just showed you nitin menon officiated an ipl before he was even on the elite umpires panel. the 2nd umpire in the last two ipl finals was also not part of the elite umpires list. he was only appointed after the final. They even had him officiate a border gavaskar test match in 2023, when his career in cricket had only officiated for less than two years....in odis and t20s mind you. the bcci and the ipl have nearly unlimited resources but they are far, far from the standard in best practice.
