Collingwood great Darcy Moore has come to the defence of umpires after Australian cricketer David Warner said umpires should be dropped from matches for making multiple wrong calls.
Currently in India for the Cricket World Cup, Warner said he’d like to see umpires be held more accountable for their decisions, after a clash in Australia’s match with Sri Lanka on Wednesday.
Despite this, Moore, who appeared as a guest host on Thursday’s episode of The Project, couldn’t be moved to speak out against umpires. However, he did offer a slight dig at Warner. While Moore admitted it was difficult to remain calm when a decision goes against your team on the field, he said he believed the right call was made most of the time.
Asked whether Moore had objected to a decision, before rewatching the play and realising the umpire was correct, the Magpies star said: “100 per cent”.Collingwood's premiership-winning captain Darcy Moore impressed the panel on The Project. Picture: The Project/Channel 10
