India coach John Wright is normally a cool customer. But his patience was severely tested following a spate of bad umpiring decisions against India on day 2 of the second Test against Pakistan in Lahore.
It forced the New Zealander to storm into the match referee's room for an audience with Ranjan Madugalle.
There were at least two clear leg-before decisions and one caught behind chance that the umpires adjudged incorrectly. They came at crucial junctures even as Pakistan batsmen Yousuf Youhana and Inzamam-ul Haq put together an unfinished 150-run partnership.
The Indian team management cannot appeal before the Test is over but Wright is believed to have had a chat with Madugalle expressing his displeasure.
Sources said Wright went through replays of the dubious decisions along with Madugalle and then stomped out fuming.
Thanks to the umpires' largesse, Pakistan could finish the day on 355 for the loss of only three wickets.
