On top of the thrashing and our insipid performance, particularly in the second half, we were on the end of some spiteful umpiring. One of the umps was making a special effort of making an example Cotchin at every opportunity. Apparently the umpires not only administer the rules of the game they can make up the rules as they go along and avenge their hurt EGOS upon the players also without answering to anyone.
