The Pakistanis were incensed by the dismissal of Inzamamul Haq, who was well set on 77 when Simon Taufel gave him out, caught at forward short leg by Akash Chopra off the bowling of Anil Kumble.

And Taufel again raised the ire of the Pakistan camp when Yousuf Youhana was given out caught behind while attempting to flick a delivery that slid down the leg side.

Slow-motion replays suggested that Inzamam had not touched the ball, although in the case of Youhana it was difficult to ascertain whether or not he had got a touch -- even after several replays it was not possible to say with any certainty that he had in fact hit the ball. With this being the case the Pakistan team believe that the benefit of doubt should have been given to the batsman.

The Pakistanis contend that these two decisions had a significant effect on the course of play.

Inzamam and Youhana -- captain and vice-captain -- are the most prolific batsmen in the team, and both were well set on a flat track when they were given out.

Emotions are running high after India's narrow 3-2 victory in the one-day series, and these two crucial decisions have stoked the fires of discontent within the team and its officials.
