Video System back again

[afridi118]

That sounds brillant :sarcasm

thanks and even at the end of match people sitting rate the umpires
maybe only lucky 20 people or who have good knowledge of the game.
as many who are in the stadium are for fun and don't really focus on game only on camera or some dummy sign board.

LOL@Robelinda, thats flipping *yes, i typed flipping* hilarious.....

Really hope this system will be gone soon. And it's all the Indian team and presses fault, after that Sydney test....

 

[rahuldravidfan]

The commentators shouldnt even be in charge of wiping their own asses. Blundering idiots.

:laugh:laugh

Well buddy, the umpiring was supremely ordinary. I'm sure no one will deny that. Among many things, Symonds was clearly run out in the 1st Inng of the Sydney Test. Former Australian batsman Michael Slater said: "Even all the Australians on the Channel 9 commentary team clearly thought Symonds was out". The umpire made a very ordinary decision and tbh, I don't think a biased individual like him will be part of any Ind-Aus matches.

Technology can help deal with this mess but the umpires need to be trained first

Why bother with a video system. Just get Sachin to determine everything.....

 

[Robelinda]

I would rather see a borderline video decision given not out than the countless non-video decisions given out when its not out. Imagine how that SCG test wouldve played out had Symond's been given correctly out? I dont think there's very many Aussie fans here who like to boast about lucky umpiring, its just crap.

Bring on the worst the video can do, because its a whole lot better that the worst the umpires on the field can do, and have done for many years. I just want to see the obvious ones given out 100% of the time, which should be easy for the video.

funny you guys point that instance again and again at every forum but forget so quickly about sachin doing the same as symonds did?? Does it ring a bell in any of the indian fans? so are you saying that the match would have turned on its head if symonds walked and would have made no difference if sachin walked?? so that means symonds >sachin? :laugh

proof CricketNext Talking Point Blogs A sorry Sachin!

1. He isn't an Indian.

2. Are you mentally retarded? What has the Sydney test to do with an ODI match played between India and Australia? And what's the meaning of "Sachin doing the same as Symonds did"? Where's the question of walking even coming here, when we are discussing about the video system?

3. Instead of posting that link again and again, why don't you counter the post I quoted below from this thread, where you first posted the link to that guy's blog?

So, he's being lambasted simply because he didn't "walk"? Excuse me, sir, but that sounds downright stupid. Even Sir Don didn't "walk" back to the pavillion once, when Bill Voce had him caught at the wicket by Jack Ikin early in his innings in one of the matches he played. Does that take anything away from him? Sometimes, you can't really be sure on whether the ball has really been caught by the fielder or not, amidst all the noises and shouts and everything. It must have been one of such cases. There can be many other explanations as well. Remember, it all happens so very quickly! In less than a fraction of a second. So, it's natural that the batsman makes these type of "mistakes" in two/three rare instances.

Agreed man. You've pretty much nailed it there

You are tripping yourself, aren't you?

NO ONE raises a finger at Sachin and/or doubts his integrity. Not even the greatest of the great nor the biggest knuckle-head of a player or even those umpires who screw up his innings. Despite being given out when he was not, Sachin made it a point to attend a ceremony marking Steve Bucknor's 100 games or 20 yrs in the sport or something, the very next day. I don't see you talking about this. He doesn't go about abusing the England dressing room after getting fairly runout neither does he go fishing or drinking in the wee hours before a game, turn up late and lose respect by cheating.

1. As usual you have got it wrong , Sanjay Jha is of course an indian.

Dont know why you have moved the discussion to fishing , drinking etc... Am just talking about an incident . cant you see?

You know what? You are really dumb. I was talking about Robelinda, the guy you quoted in your first post. You quoted him and then wrote these two lines- "funny you guys point that instance again and again at every forum but forget so quickly about sachin doing the same as symonds did?? Does it ring a bell in any of the indian fans?" Anyone will assume after reading these two lines that you thought him to be an Indian. That's why I pointed out his actual nationality.

2. Does'nt matter if its a test or whatever! you cant deny the incident happened?

Mate, stop spouting this enormous amount of nonsense, please! The question of walking isn't even coming here. We are discussing about the video system, or rather, we "were", till you came with that reply which made zero sense. You say "sachin doing the same as symonds did?"! Well, what did Symonds "do"? This is an utterly meaningless statement! Then you refer to "the match" (which anyone will assume to be the SCG test) and say "so are you saying that the match would have turned on its head if symonds walked and would have made no difference if sachin walked??." What does that mean? WTF has walking to do with the Sydney test! For God's sake man, these two things are totally irrelevant. Then, as a "proof" you give a link to that guy's blog, which deals with a completely different issue, and where there's no mention of Symonds or SCG test or video system or anything. Seesh!

Oh and another thing, you are yet to counter the post I quoted, dear.

Oh no you dee`nt!


I dont like the idea of a video system...though i can see a few up-sides to it..

I like the idea of the DRS (Decision Review System), but I'd like to see a couple of additions:
1) Use Hawkeye. Even if you don't treat it as gospel, it can be used as a better guide than the naked eye for LBWs IMHO. I'm not sure who decided that Hot Spot was a 100% accurate awesome tool, yet Hawkeye was too risky to use. You can see with Hot Spot sometimes the whole side of a bat will flash white, and it relies on having the correct angle of the bat. Hawkeye's been proven in tennis to have only a couple of millimeters of error in the readings.
2) Have the third umpire LOOK AT ALL THE DISMISSALS. The issue with decision reviews is the time it takes to do them, but when a dismissal occurs, the game stops for a couple of minutes anyway. So the umpire might as well confirm the correct decision was made. If the call was incorrect, the previous batsmen comes back out. Easy. And therefore the challenges would only be used on the not out calls.
