Ashoka DeSilva Vs Steve Bucknor

[Will_NA]

India had like 7 results that directly cost them the match.

I don't understand this system - you accuse the Indians of whinging. If they stand up for themselves, then you guys think that validates your statement and you are right. If they say nothing, you guys think you are right. So, it is quite clear you aren't going to want a meaningful discussion on it, then why even bother brining it up? As a pointless cheap little dig? Why do you want reactions from the Indian fans? What do you feel you are going to gain by making the Indian fans look little? If you want to change their minds, try having an open minded discussion, without the sterotypes. Targeting and mocking them really isn't making you look big or smart.

I'm kinda taken aback by your post since I was in no way having a dig. Maybe you'd like to point out which exact part of my statement made it seem like that. My point was valid in that Indian fans didn't make that big a deal when we were screwed at Lords - neither did England fans which is why I, personally, don't sympathise with them.

Plus, you say the Sydney decisions directly cost the the match. THEY DID NOT. That is a fact. Simple as. I'm not saying it didn't influence the match because they of did of course but you don't what would have happened if those decisions had gone the right way. There are millions of possibilities.

Sreesanth was the last man out. If he was given out, we would have won because we would have taken 10 Indian second innings wickets before they could overhaul England's aggregate score, meaning we would have won. That is a fact.

As I said before, that isn't the point. The point is we didn't make such a huge deal out of it. I can't even remember the umpire so I do not care that Indian fans felt agrieved at Sydney because it happens to everyone.

Yeah, and pigs fly on amphetamines.

Dude, you have any idea what you are talking about?

India would not have won the match. However, there was every chance of them pulling out a draw with Dravid walling it out.

That would have made the whole series look different, and show the series as 1-1 in the final analysis which was probably the right outcome given how closely competed it was.

Anyway a lot of water has passed through Thames and Ganges to really bring it up again.

However, I agree that Lords' was a farcical end to a gripping match, and England deserved to win the match, but again for a poor decision by Bucknor. IIRC.

Bucknor.
De Silva was pretty bad a few years ago. The ICC kicked him out of the Elite Panel and now he has made a come-back,And I would take that as -he has improved from what he was.

Bucknor on the other hand is arrogant as ever,not willing to accept hi follies,like other counterparts.I'm guesssing that this is his last year.

Probably because only old people and cricket nerds attend test matches in England and the goons go to Footy matches.

In India, we don't have any other mass sport. So everybody goes to cricket.

Believe me EPL is like a wildfire spreading through the country as the tv channels show every epl game live. And people are starting to get hooked on it very quickly.

Yeah, but it is not yet the level where people book flights to England.

And in that aspect alone, it is not a mass sport.

And given a choice of IPL and EPL, I'd put my bets on atleast 80% of people switching to SET MAX than ESPN-Star.

I think you're using the term 'directly' a bit too loosely...

 

[McLOVIN]

[McLOVIN]

[McLOVIN]

1) EPL is starting in 2010.
2) The one Twenty20 tournament in England is the Twenty20 Cup.
3) Most Twenty20 Cup games are not televised.

 

[SciD]

He ment EPL as in football or soccer.
