Dravid fined for ball tampering

[jeromedascorp]

I was really shocked to see the topic say Dravid fined, but then I saw that it was an accident. I think that it was good that the icc enforced the fine. This will make players be more careful and think before they do anything other than bowl or field the ball.

B) Cricket has become white man game. You cannot apply one rule for a particular race and ignore it for another.Shoaib was banned for trying to do some modifications to the ball. but what about glenn mac grath.he got away with sledging with ram naresh sarwan. Some of the umpires are also biased. they try to favour home side(usually in favour of white team) and the visiting team loses or draws a match thanks to the biased umpiring.this should be checked to protect the interest of cricket lovers.It happened in australia.Eventhough tandulkar was not out,he was given out.It happened with pakistan as well.They were winning one match.Wasim was bowling and there was loud noise(clear of the bat) but the umpire was unmoved.

there is some truth to rickys statements..sad but it is happening too frequently..
as for bucknor, he is becoming australias playing 12th man these days

Very true......... : : : : :

Steve Bucknor and David Shepperd umpired the 2002 Natwest final between England and India, and many of the decisions towards the end of India's innings were in favour of England's side (some were horrendous decisions if any of you remember Anil Kumble's wicket)...ever since then, my Uncle (who watched the game with me) and I have been referring to those two when the umpire together, the B.S. combo...I'am sure you all can figure out what that stands for : : :


And Amir, Nel has a reputation for being a crook, but I understand what you're saying and it was a bit unfair that he got was caught but Kyle Mills was just given a warning (no race problem there)........

U may agree or not but it is a harsh fact that racism still exists , maybe in very little proportions .
Another example
Michael Slater argued with umpire venkat in the mumbbai test in 2001
No fine for him
Ganguly showed his disappointment in the onedayers to follow and he was banned for 2 matches
When sachin was accused of ball tampering , the only videos we got was the slow motion close up replays of the ball making it look a lot worsse than it was and it was broadcasted thru a south african channel
Actually the cleaning of the ballmay have been for only 10 - 20 secs or even less than that
Remember an aussie or an english player calling sanathjayasuriya a black monkey
Bye

B) andrew nixon is very smart ,he knows how to defend!

anyway do u guys remember english tour of srilanka last year where naseer called names to murali

According to Murali, it was not a cheeky one-liner or a sharp-tongued barb ? it was a foul-mouthed attack upon his integrity as a player. Hussain was accused of calling him "a ****ing cheat and a ****ing chucker" as he walked to the crease

but the umpires said they dint hear anything.
It was Murali's word against 11 tight-lipped English players. Lloyd, though, made it clear that he thought Hussain had muttered something nasty and warned that he would not tolerate any further behaviour, from both sides, that "threatened the integrity of the game

 

[ricky123]

B) Fletcher also backed Hussain, although he did so in his typically bland code: "Test cricket is tough, you just have to get on with it."

 

[snoop_dizzle]

Did'nt Darren Lehman call Jayasuria a 'black monkey'?

And i was wondering how the 'F' does a throght lollie help shine the ball all it is, is spit from the players mouth which is what they use anyway,

Plus what about when player wipe there forehead and have sunblock on it, that sunblock (or zinc) goes onto the ball and i suppose that's shinier than a throght lollie...

And also wy dont England try win a game before they start to abuse other players cause as all of us know ENGLAND suck at cricket

Even thou` i KNOW his actions been cleared i have to agree with Nasser Hussain bout murali`s action...

Bishan Bedi said murali chucks as well btw

There`s a history of bad feeling between england and sri lanka... Clive Lloyd was going on about that...

Sangakkara is a REALLY bad sledger

 

[andrew_nixon]

Yes Lehman racially abused a Sri Lankan player. And he got a huge ban for it..... what's your point there? I thought you were trying to prove the ICC was racist?

nd i was wondering how the 'F' does a throght lollie help shine the ball all it is, is spit from the players mouth which is what they use anyway,

It's an external substance that is not normally found on the field of play. Cannabis isn't a perofrmance enhancing drug, but players would still be banned if they were found to have it in their system.

cause as all of us know ENGLAND suck at cricket

snoop_dizzle by saying that you reveal just how much merit your argument has.

nyway do u guys remember english tour of srilanka last year where naseer called names to murali

You can't fine somebody without any evidence.

Michael Slater argued with umpire venkat in the mumbbai test in 2001
No fine for him

I'm sorry, but how is that racism from the ICC? If Venkat didn't file a report that's his fault. Blame Venkat.

None of you have managed to give examples of racism from the ICC. You have given me one example of how the ICC deal with racism (Lehman) and plenty of examples of incompetence from umpires, but no evidence of racism from the ICC.

 

[nikhilverma]

i think icc was a bit harsh on rahul...
he was just shining the ball what's the big deal with that...
it's stupidity...
:saywhat:

The big deal is that he was rubbing a foreign substance onto the ball. The big deal is that he broke the rules!

 

[ricky123]

B) i will agree with andrew that whenever the icc is reffered too ,they take action if evidence is found ,

it is the ground umpire's fault for not complaining. can anyone tell me why always Darrell Hair calls players for chucking and mostly asains..
he has something with the spinners as well .does anybody remember chauhan.he is lost after being called for chucking

 

[andrew_nixon]

So you're going away from your ridiculous statement that the ICC is racist?

Darryl Hair is a strange one. For a start he only calls bowlers for throwing when he is standing at the bowler's end. It is supposed to be the square-leg umpires job. You can't judge accurately from behind wether somebody straightens their elbow. I don't think he is racist, he just doesn't like people with unorthodox actions, and asian players tend to have more unorthodox actions than non-asian players, for whatever reason.
