Should not have applied laws to Indian players: Harper

Australian umpire Daryl Harper, under fire from Indian players following his poor decisions in the first Test in Kingston, hit back.



"West Indies expressed concern over Indian players' habit of charging at umpires when appealing which is against the spirit of the game," Harper told Headlines Today. Defending his wrong decision on Indian skipper MS Dhoni's wicket in the first Test, Harper quipped:

"Errors in international cricket matches were as common as Indians eating beef burgers. I should never have applied the laws of cricket to Indian players."
