India's tour of Australia - December/January 2015

[Aalay]

The thing is we can't afford to lose more than 1 wicket in the middle session. Otherwise, it's done.

I see Ian Gould already has a strike to his name. Hopefully we won't see that kind of decisions again today.

Well this is why India should accpet the DRS

[DOUBLEPOST=1418437301][/DOUBLEPOST]

Here we go again with useless discussion on DRS. Just because they haven't accepted DRS does not mean they are supposed to get a bad decision. These things were quite common before DRS but people used to show some spirit and walk most of the time. Will Kohli walk? I don't care now because there is no point in walking against these guys.

You Kidding Me!

 

[Umair7]

Walking and not walking has 0 correlation to DRS (as seen by the Broad incident last year), so I don't even know why you brought that up.

Anyway, so because a board is against DRS, it's totally fine for decisions to go against players who I last checked weren't board of directors in said board, in what sick world is that even remotely fair and if appealing for dropped catches is cheating then so is not walking, it's just we've been accustomed to this form of cheating for so long that it's totally fine.

DRS:Review:Wicket

now your board hates the drs (Umpire says Not Out and you want him to walk back) why dont just accept the drs and use it agaisnt these kind of decisions

 

[Aalay]

No, I am not kidding. Now let's move on because there is no point in discussing that as nothing is going to change.

Not walking:cheating:cheater

Last I checked the BCCI isn't doing any player/fan vote where we just hit "I accept the DRS" and we start using it, and the umpire wouldn't have to call it a not out if the batsman would just walk, instead he stands there asking the umpire to make a decision which is counter-appealing.

And the DRS isn't the answer to every scenario, DRS could be in effect, all reviews could be used up for equally good shouts prior to the Warner edge and the decision would still stand, which is why I advocate every wicket be automatically reviewed during the time it takes for the batsman given out to leave the field.

Shane Warne - cmon Lyon get "us" a wicket. Dont disappoint "us"

Really ? Kinda pathetic for a commentator lol

--

he is getting extremely desperate, Shane Warne. Almost sounds delirious, repeating the same thing over and over

 

[Aalay]

"Australia is going to win this, there is absolutely no question about it" - Shane Warne.

I mean I know you are excited to see your country do well but I don't think you are allowed to say that if you are working as a commentator.


He is not interested Ian Healy because the impact is outside the off stump you twat. MUTE.

 

[abhi_jacko]

Sorry if I am bytching about the commentators too much - but when Clarke, Smith were padding the ball away for a period of time and Indians were appealing, we were hearing comments like "oh thats an ambitious appeal. He is too far down and there is too much doubt"

And same thing happening with Vijay - "why isnt Erasmus interested in giving these out ? It doesnt matter how far down he is, if its hitting the wickets it should be given"

 

[Aalay]

MUTE is the only option my friend.

Vijay is a cheater too right!!

Star : Pro India

Yep - just that its the Star guys who get a LOT of flak for being pro-India.

There are a few balanced guys on either side - Mark Nicholas / Dravid / Ganguly

 

[Aalay]

Vijay is a cheater too right!!

Appeal against Warner was for caught behind, appeal against Murli Vijay was for LBW. See the difference?

Catch=Walk Back
LBW=Dont Walk Back

yeah right !!!!

 

[Aalay]

Nah Mark Nicholas is same. I think Mark Taylor is much better

Catch=Walk Back
LBW=Dont Walk Back

yeah right !!!!

You have really started to annoy me here. LBW is always 50-50 even if you are right in front of the stump because you think there might be the bounce factor. If you have edged a delivery, you are 100% sure that you are out.
