Jeff Crowe referee is again in controversy, because of the confusion he created during the toss of final Match between India and Sri Lanka for Cricket World Cup on 2nd Aril,2011. When India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni spun the coin,he thought that he had won the toss and that point of time Crowe did not hear a call from Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara who, as the visiting skipper was supposed to nominate 'heads' or 'tails' while the coin was in the air.
After this action they all had brief discussion and it was decided by Crowe for a re-toss. It was an almost unheard of event in any cricket match and especially certainly one of this importance.
Earlier also Crowe had been at the centre of a World Cup final controversy.Four years ago in Barbados, when Australia beat Sri Lanka, Crowe was the match referee who oversaw a mistake by officials that led to the game resuming in near total darkness.
