Game # 3, Brighton vs. Atlantic (3-19-06)
The weekend that Brighton had hoped for never happened, we lost the toss, but still had the opportunity to bat first and lost the first four wickets for just 11 runs. Markie and Jaswal brought the score up to 60 before Markie got out. Brighton was still able to score 110 despite poor calls by the umpire who took 3 wickets for Atlantic. In addition to this, the umpire made several bad calls in favor of Atlantic in their short stay at the crease. Without the bad calls, Atlantic should have been about 20 for 4 instead they ended up with 43 for 3 when the umpire decided to pull stumps and go home. It's hard to predict the actual outcome of this game had it played to conclusion, but it was apparent early on that the umpire was affecting the outcome.
We all expect professionalism and objectivity from our umpires, so it is unfortunate that our team has experienced problems of this sort from the same umpire over the course of the past 2 years. It's unfortunate the game wasn't played to completion, and this is reflected (without any details) on the FSCL website which reported just the incomplete score and the highlights. But the truth of the matter is that the umpire took more wickets than P. Liyange, and S. Desai ,which is both truthful and rather ridiculous.
Here's hoping for more professionalism and fewer incidents from our cricket officials for the rest of the season.
