New Delhi: In his more than a decade-long career, Australian umpire Daryl Harper says the infamous leg-before decision he gave against Sachin Tendulkar in 1999 is the only one he wants the world to forget about but insists that he was not wrong in giving the Indian batsman out.

Seven ODIs against India are too many: Ponting

"The one that I would like the world to forget is the Sachin (Tendulkar) one, when he ducked a (Glenn) McGrath bouncer, in Adelaide in 1999. I've got the video clip on my laptop still, and you can see it is still out!" Harper said.

"Sunil Gavaskar was the commentator and he agreed, saying it would've been out LBW if the stumps were six inches taller.

Australia look to maintain form in India

Sachin was the captain and he didn't mention it in his report - always fair play with Sachin, and he is still a wonderful sportsperson," he recalled.
