Umpiring at its Worst - The 2008 India-Australia match with nine wrong decisions

#2 Decision # 2

Australia 1st Innings 119-3, 29.5 Overs, Bowler Harbhajan, Batsman Ponting (55), Umpire Bensen

Well, some would say it was justice even though delayed. Ponting scored 38 runs since he was given another life by Bensen when he was batting at 17. He was now on 55, facing Harbhajan Singh.

Harbhajan bowls him a straighter one which hits his pads right in front of stumps. Huge appeal from Indian players and up goes the finger of Mark Bensen. Ponting seems not happy at all suggesting something is wrong. And replay confirms that there was a massive inside edge before the ball struck the pads. Another horrible decision indeed.
