#7.Rob Bailey given out, vs West Indies, in 1989
Can excessive appealing change an umpire's decision? Ask Rob Bailey, as he found that out the tough way against West Indies in 1989.
Bailey was facing Curtly Ambrose when one delivery sneaked through his defence and went past the pads to the wicket-keeper. There was a definite sound and West Indies players went up appealing for a catch.
However, the umpire Barker thought the sound came as the ball kissed the pads and had almost turned down the appeal when Viv Richards came charging down from the slip region.
Intimidated by Richards' aggressive appeal, Barker changed his mind and raised the finger.
