Yes that is wrong.There is a rule for leg pitching. A batsman cannot be given out by LBW if the ball pitched outside leg stump. Off stump , he is vulnerable.

This is not a serious matter this happens,when players are dying and many deaths due to allowed ristricted bolling system, ignore this any doubut let again appeal and come to the conslusion,like court of appeal.

What you state is wrong. Once the ball is dead "No further runs or dismissals were possible". So there is no run at all.The ball should have been deemed dead when the batsman [James Taylor] was given out leg before wicket. No further runs or dismissals were possible, stated the ICC release that quoted the Article 3.6a of Appendix 6 of the Decision Review System (DRS) Playing Conditions. - See more at: http://www.dailymirror.lk/63859/nder-shocks-world-cup

Dharmasena should never be allowed to be an umpire in the fist place. He never bowled he chucked all deliveries. If he faced the current panel within the ICC he would have been suspended. Considering these factors he does not have the credibility to be there. The ICC have blundered by appointing him. Time to change.

the ball becomes dead the moment the umpire rules him out, nothing after that is valid, so even if the run was completed, and the review showed the umpire was in fact wrong, the run could not stand, the batsmen would be returned to their original ends

Have you been always correct ? Show me someone who has no regrets about decisions over his lifespan. Even Homer nods !!
Jay Tuesday, 17 February 2015 09:17 PM
What would you do if you need to get only one run in the last bowl of the match ... and umpire given out (LBW)... during that time they ran one run... and review showed it was not out,... so do they count the run ... do they get a another ball?I think they should complete the play, I mean Dharmasena is wright ... then do the review ( bowl wont be dead)
senith senhiru Tuesday, 17 February 2015 04:25 PM
Assume this was the last ball and only one run required for win the match. After LBW decision if England take that run and later LBW decision withdrawal. Then England again loose due to wrong decision by umpires and cost the match. Therefore rule to be changed if decision withdrawal ball is not dead.
Chinthaka Tuesday, 17 February 2015 04:12 PM
NO this allegation is completely wrong. Yes, the ball becomes dead when the umpire raise the finger. That is only if the out is correct. As the out given by the first umpire is invalid the rest of the run becomes valid. As they run and ball stuck the wicket the out given by Dharmasena is valid. Because the ball becomes not dead as the first out is not valid.This can be proved because they take the run as valid one always if the ball did not meet the wicket to make a runout.

He is a mere mortal who is been paid handsome amount of money do his job correctly..

No doubt, It is a big blunder, however it has not been such the shock of the world Cup as the reporter suggests. People talked about it on the day and have moved on. Looks like he is trying to over sensationalse the issue. A personal grudge?

Kumara Dharmasena is considered to be a very good umpire ...but I found he tends to do very silly mistakes other umpires hardly do. Kumara was the 3rd umpire in the 2013 Ashes Series 3rd Test. He was the partner in crime of the infamous incident which was dubbed as the most dubious decision in the history of cricket. This incident was against the Australian batsman Usman Khawaja. Another silly mistake was done yesterday on the "dead ball affair" of the last wicket of England innings. Umpires are not super humans but these days you got up to date help from technology and still umpires arel misreading the basic cricketing rules.

Not only dharmasena, why was alim dar numb over the incident. He was consulted and he too would have advised on the situation and even the third imand even third umpire. Why was only dharmasena mistake was highlighted so emphatically. Our typical subservient attitude towards the west!!
Bala Tuesday, 17 February 2015 11:14 AM
He is a mere mortal and one wrong decision is bound to be made. All the other umpires, Tv, third
prabha Tuesday, 17 February 2015 11:07 AM
Dharmsena not only erred having consulted the 3rd Umpaire, arrogantly bull dozed his wrong decision for allot us see. His Umpairing career will come to an end soon.
kamal Tuesday, 17 February 2015 11:03 AM
Not only Dharmasena, but TV Umpire also made the same mistake, why they accepted at that point, they should use their radio systems and talk each other before to take it into investigation after call for TV umpire by Dharmasena.

Similar incident happened in Sri Lanka in 1984. Third test match against India in Oval Grounds Colombo. Krishanamachari Srikanth was given out LBW by main umpire but he did not leave the filed. The present ICC Chief Referee Mr Ranjan Mdugalle saw Srikanth being out of the crease threw the ball at the wicket and appealed. Lo and behold the leg umpire raised his finger.There were screaming headlines "First cricketer to be given out on a dead ball
