Indian's mindset now visible in sport too: Nigel Long Fiasco

England umpire Nigel Llong under BCCI scanner but unlikely to be removed from IPL final

Llong reportedly lost his cool after being confronted by Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Kohli over a contentious no ball call against Sunrisers Hyderabad during an IPL match on Saturday in Bengaluru.

English umpire Nigel Llong could face the BCCI’s scrutiny for allegedly damaging the door of a stadium room after an argument with Virat Kohli but the Indian board is unlikely to remove him as an official for the IPL final on May 12.

Llong reportedly lost his cool after being confronted by Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Kohli over a contentious no ball call against Sunrisers Hyderabad during an IPL match on Saturday in Bengaluru.

According to reports, the ICC Elite Panel official kicked the door of the umpires’ room during the innings break and damaged it.

A BCCI official told PTI that Llong might have some explaining to do but the matter will not cost him his place as a designated umpire for the IPL final to be held in Hyderabad.

The BCCI, it is learnt, is in a dilemma on whether to even consider taking such a step “for a moment’s indiscretion”.

In Bengaluru, Karnataka State Cricket Association secretary R Sudhakar Rao said the KSCA has demanded action against Llong. Rao, however, did say that the 50-year-old paid for the damage caused.

“We have reported the matter to the Committee of Administrators (COA) and hopefully action will be taken against Nigel Llong. If the players are punished for their misdemeanour and fined their match fees then why not the umpires,” he said.

“I didn’t speak to umpire Llong but I spoke to match referee Narayanan Kutty. I am hopeful COA will take action,” he added.

Llong paid Rs 5000 after he was confronted by the KSCA officials and had demanded a receipt of the payment.

Llong has stood in 56 Tests, 123 ODIs and 32 T20 Internationals in his career and will be standing in the upcoming World Cup in the United Kingdom, starting May 30.

I call it Indian mindset because throughout this article, Long is made out as the culprit. He may have lost his cool and kicked a door in anger and frustration, given. But why did he do that!!
Why he lost his cool!!
The answers lays in the behavior of Kohli.
Why a cricketer be allowed to chase a referee in the changing rooms!! Why a cricketer would be allowed to harass an umpire and asked answers outside the playing field!!
This part is completely missing in this article.

The Indians are trying to follow the Yanks thinking, that they are law in to themselves. The world power, which can say and do what they like without consequences.
They got few wake up calls recently, but they are not learning.
Unfortunately in ICC they have got a foothold, and manage to do what they like. They had one failure when their plans to give themselves vetoing powers with Aus and Eng backfired.

Money rules the roost. And why not? ICC earns huge chunks of revenue from Indian fans. We don't need a veto in ICC, we pretty much hold positions in top management of ICC and receives major share in the funding.

Whatever be the case between Kohli and Long. It should remain between them - BCCI - IPL governing body. And not at the furniture of the venue.

There have been many occasions of spiteful confrontations between umpires and players, maverick leg spinner Shane Warne and Glen McGrath as examples often used pressure tactics to intimidate umpires. This is nothing new in cricket.

What's surprising though is to see a reputed umpire of Llong's calibre lose his cool and destroy stadium equipment. These umpires are taught to take charge of the playing field, and a stern word or two with Kohli must have diffused the situation. As for his mistake in a crunch moment, it can happen, no reason to make a mountain of it.

No you don't. Stop bullshit, Kohli is responsible for his actions and should be questioned. He has absolutely no right to approach an umpire in the changing rooms.

That formula you have mentioned had been changed by the majority voting and revenue sharing by the so-called Big Three didn't worked.

Stop bullshitting man, Virat didn't approach umpire in his changing room. He approached him in ground over his unnecessary no ball calls. It is quite normal for players to argue with umpires, but umpires loosing cool over it is unheard of, so there is nothing wrong with Virat at all for approaching the umpire.

I guess you've been a little slow in reading. India, gets the major share, the earlier agreed share was relatively equal among different boards and BCCI simply tossed it out as it was some $290 million dollars. It's a huge set back from the demanded $500+ million. Anyway, we settled at for $400+ million while other boards get around $128 million. The revenue sharing of big three ended, now it's the Big one.

BCCI is still fine, IPL now valued in excess of $6billion, is the golden goose which makes profit of half a billion a year to BCCI. It's the only T20 league in ICC official FTP plan. Wonder why?

good point
empire was expected to restrain himself and exhibit better behavior. should have called in security or stadium officials if he felt intimidated. kicking door just because he was upset is indefensible even for a player. let alone an empire

That is an good answer mate...Money provides a platform to showcase the world about your intentions...If we do not conduct ourselves properly, respect will be lost...

Let us not argue and defend certain things which is not good...Kohli should learn few things of earning respect from Dhoni...In spite of such a successful captain in our cricketing history, he is respected for his attitude and the way he takes up the things on ground..

BCCI should do whatever is good for Indian cricket...That does not mean, we should protect our people who do not know to conduct themselves on field..

BS. Read it again. Why would Umpire kick the door in the dressing room when Kohli talked to him in the ground!!

Read again, who said dressing room. It's a break room for umpires, close to the ground.

I don't know why the umpire did what he did. It's not good for umpires to damage private property. If Kohli did something wrong, he can report to the match referee. Not go around smashing things.

Stop bullshit, Kohli is responsible for his actions and should be questioned.

Who do you think should question kohli ?

BCCI and ICC, who else you have in mind, the groundsman!!

Umpire room is still inside the stadium, not on the ground. pull the other one. Kohli should be made an example of bad mouthing an umpire and pressurising him. Indians should learn some manners. They are not supapowa, they had their arses kicked in broad day light on 27th Feb.

It was nigel long who broke the property, why would kohli be questioned by BCCI, let aside ICC who has no jurisdiction here.

You need to read properly argument was on ground, nigel long in innings break damaged the door. Ngel long got away eay with just a fine of 5000 rs and not suspension for rest of the matches.

First of all Kohli is not Sachin or Dhoni we can't expect him to be. If Australians can all sorts of stuff on ground, including ball tampering then cry like a little bitch, and get away with a small whip on back called one year ban, then what's wrong with BCCI protecting it's players? (if they are doing it at all)

What he did was argue with an umpire on unnecessary no balls. Which he should not have done.
I'm all up for fairness in cricket, but BCCI always go hard on it's players. Take example of Sreesanth, he got a life time ban for some unproven claims. Or Azharuddin, for that matter. Meanwhile Pakistani or Australian/Lankan cricketers gets away with far more worse and proven allegations.

I hope BCCI make an example out of this guy, it's not okay to take your ego or anger on furniture.

Did Kohli abuse the umpire? There is no evidence for that, and if he did the umpire should have reported it. If Kohli confronted him or intimidate him, I say the guy deserve it seeing what he done after.

And nobody fuks with BCCI. Some ratshit cricket board tried to take on BCCI ended up paying millions of dollars for it. And BCCI don't fuk with Indian fans.

I don't need to you should. No where it says the arguments was on the ground, when the door was kicked.
Off course the no ball would be called during the match not in the dressing room.
You think that Long is stupid that he would still have the anger after the match that he would kick the door down!!
Use common sense. People's anger is temporary, it cools down within few minutes of the incidents.
It must have been flared again in the dressing room which caused Long to kick the door down.
