What a load of rubbish. What about when "rain stops play"...or "bad light"...
and they decide the winner there and then? And, oh yeah, as if there's only 1 bad LBW decision...more like a good few per game. Cricket isn't a "complete" game. It's a bore fest, a bad excuse for fans to get hammered sipping on beer for 5 hours while you watch men wearing jumpers (for God's sake) supposedly participating in a "sport". In cashmere sweaters.
Please mummy, will you hold my jumper while I play with my friends..so he hands it to the umpire.
Bad decisions in football also balance out, usually. For example, no way should the Italian defender have been sent off for a harmless tackle. So Australia played unfairly with 1 extra man for near enough the entire match, and the penalty at the end equaled it out. There you go.
By the way, Australia played for penalties, seeing it was the only way they'd get through...and it didn't work. Tough luck. That's football.
