India tour of New Zealand - Jan to Feb 2014

I expected someone to pick up that post and run with it, but I still stand by what I said, there was more important wickets caused by poor batting (Kohli and Rohit) and poor calls (Rahane and Dhoni) than good bowling (Dhawan and Pujara).

Good bowling is such a rubbish excuse. The bowlers were pathetic except some good deliveries. The foul play by the bowlers is what won them the game.

Accept the fact that without "cheating", this game wouldn't have been in your favor you moron! McCullum was probably shitting in his pants because of Dhoni so they have to bundle him up cheaply.

Corey anderson was 'not out' so going by that NZ would have posted another 100+ with mcclum also there
The bad decisions evenout atleast in the match

I guess I shouldn't even be replying to you because it doesn't seem like you watches the game at all. The commentators were agreeing on the fact that it is not out. Why would Wagner even go out to bowl that wide from the crease? Why not just bowl all the way from the off side??? Accept the fact that it was against the spirit of the game.

Bad decisions have absolutely nothing, repeat, nothing to do with "spirit of cricket". You simply have no leg to stand on bemoaning a bad decision in cricket when it happens all the time. It's a PART of the game, especially when there is AMPLE technology in DRS to allow you overturn a decision if you wish, your country is the only one that doesn't use it... End of story.

Furthermore, it was borderline, was his foot touching? Barely. Was it enough to overturn the decision? Absolutely not. End of story.

Lets talk about your insane ramblings about Dhoni winning the game for you, when there was zero evidence of this about to occur with two completely incapable batsman to be swiftly dismissed by NZ bowlers that have outclassed you all season.

We're better. Humble up.

But which Indian bowler bowled all the way from the offside?

 

[ferg512]

Also, don't forget the Watling dismissal which was clearly a no-ball. Both sides were on the wrong side of quite a few decisions, but I think it evened out in the end.

What are you talking about, it's a completely legal tactic... it's called out-thinking the batsman. It's like you rambling about a reverse-sweep being a "cheat" by a batsman. Get a grip.

I don't think you understand what I am talking about. Do you? If I am the bowler then I know where I am bowling from don't I? Wagner didn't know that he was all the way towards the crease? Next time he should just go all the way square and bowl deliveries from there. Maybe they won't piss in their pants fearing they might lose the game.

Those pesky New Zealand bowlers having a plan. How dare they!!!

I can't stop laughing at the highlighted sentence.

Anyway, the better team won. Stop whining and looking for someone to blame and move on.

 

[Biggs]

For the record, Dhoni just said on the record, in an interview. NZ were the better team. That's fact now.

Agree with you other points ,the other guys is trolling ,but cricket is a game of unpredictability thats why we watch it ,so dont go belittling dhoni,he has his best innings of 224 with a no 8.

I dont think NZ are better(they were beter in this test esp first innings), the teams are evenly matched on the whole.

 

[vaibhavtewatia]

If I am the bowler then I know where I am bowling from don't I?

They're humans. In that case no ball would've never existed.

I know decisions like these make or break the match. But that is how it always goes. We fought. We failed. Not the end of the world!

Ignore him everyone... he's just trying to start a useless argument.

Did you not see that idiot stepping on the line??? If that's legal then a bowler bowling from half way down the pitch should also be legal because all he did is cross the line. Nothing new about it right?

 

[Biggs]

He didn't step on the line. It was given out. End of story.

That's all you can do because you have no base for arguing. Wagner is crap and would have stayed crap if he hadn't used dirty tactics.

Either you are blind or you were on the wrong channel watching the wrong match.
