Getting dropped is not such a big deal for me, I usually get caught (or out some other way) a few balls later.

International Vice-Captain
I once edged it to first slip and was given not out, i was thinking about walking as our captain tries to make us be honest but i really didn't like the other team's wicket keeper so i stayed in.
And got out two overs later

State Captain
Definitely a bad decision.
I am a bowler. I bat high in certain comps, quite low in others. So when I am down the order, I am often the only one or main one left who is capable to save or win the game for my team. Often means taking risks etc, so getting myself out is often a non issue. But, if an umpire correctly gives me out it often means the match and it makes me furious. For example I came out with ten to get off the last over in an under 24's game last year. At the start of the match the umpires had told us everything down leg side was a wide. First ball went down leg and we ran, only byes. So 9 off five rather than 8 off six. Once i got back on strike we needed 8 off 4. I tried a slog to mid wicket and a huge inside edge left me out LBW with a number eleven to come where he had no hope. That is probably the most angry I have been.
The most angry I get tough is when there is a lazy bit of fielding off my bowling. A dropped catch I can live with but. Someone not getting down, jogging ater a ball or not backing up gibes me the dirts big time.

Agree completely. Getting out to a bad umpiring decision is just so annoying especially when your feeling great at the crease.
