Umpires once asked to move on with the game, so the case should be. Is Lara bigger than the rules of the game? And Dhoni accepting the fielders decision only after reaching the pavilion. There was no decision made while they were on the field. so its pretty obvious something went on backstage. And well as far as the didnt matter thing goes, That 15 minutes stopage in the end turned out to be the deciding factor isnt it? Cricket is bigger than players.
