I attended the England vs Bangladesh game today where the Umpires wrongly gave Collingwood not out 1st ball and then later wrongly gave him out after a poor LBW decision. I wish they would bring tv replays into cricket.

That it though isn't it? You only notice officials (Refs/Umpires) when they cock-up and, half the time, those cock-ups are only discovered after half a dozen slow-motion replays.

Does that figure include the decisions they didn't make/incidents they missed?

How can that be true when a lot of them are a matter of opinion, not fact.

If Howard Webb had sent off either Van Bommell or De Jong he would have put paid to Holland's tactics and maybe would not have had to book so many in the wake of being so lenient.

Just my opinion.
