Another quickfail. The nominator Pharaoh496 appears to be a drive-by nominator with only 8.8% authorship, and although he has made some copyedits, it is clearly not enough. This article is a long way from being a Good Article. There are far too many block quotes to consider this well-written - and this has been a concern, as noted on the article talk page, for sixteen years. It should have been addressed long before being brought to GAN. Why are there flags hanging out in the text, in violation of MOS:FLAG?

I'm not sure the lead is NPOV, given that it directly states that there were "wrong umpiring decisions given by international umpires Steve Bucknor and Mark Benson". Is that objectively true? Who decided that?

The entire first paragraph in the Aftermath section is unreferenced. In the paragraph containing "Symonds' inability to conclusively say...", the paragraph is uncited from that point. There's an existing CN tag on a quote, and I've added another just now. There are other unreferenced statements scattered randomly throughout the article. I just removed an inline citation to YouTube, which is just not on.

This article will need a wholesale revamp before it can pass the WP:GACR.
