And i think we people in india should start a pension fund for bucknor...how long he will do this to us...get the ********** man out of the game
So every single batsman in the history of the universe (bar a couple including Gilchrist) is a cheater then?
You've gone down a peg nibbs, not good.
Wait- so if a batsman makes a point of always walking he is a "smug asshole", but if he doesn't he's a cheat? Super.
Because the third umpire doesn't make simple mistakes...
Unfortunately, the Australian bowling attack is good enough to not let that affect them that much. But with Zaheer out, India desperately needed everything to go their way today.
Why didn't Yuvraj do it in the first Test then? It is not 'easy' to make a comeback, it takes skill to capitalise on a missed chance.
Try telling Richard that.
That's wonderfully positive considering that your team hasn't batted any of the four times it would have to to lose two Tests.
The stumping?
), I really have no idea other than the fact that a ball running off the face of the bat doesn't make a lot of noise.
'Twas my implication.
The stumping was actually closer than it appears in the photo above. Sure it looks like there's a fair bit of air between the foot and the ground when the bails are removed but what a still picture doesn't show is that a frame later when Symond's foot is flattened as if planted, the 'gap' is still there. The picture which shows a 'gap' is actually an optical illusion and likely a parallax error. This is why the umpire gave it not out I reckon. Certainly on first viewing I thought he was dead but when they showed subsequent frames, when his foot flattens, it looks like its levitating. But no, it's actually grounded.
The most salient point of the day, in my view. Good teams or those playing well make sure that bad decisions don't ruin their day. They just create more chances and take those instead. India whining about today ignores that they bowled absolute tosh to Hogg and Symonds when they were going well and their third session was absolutely woeful. A decent team (emphasis on team) would regroup and tighten their game. Instead, they threw their toys out of the pram. No team will succeed if it relies onj absolutely everything going their way which, as it happens, was one reason why the Aussies kept losing in India all those years. As soon as they had a bad decision or something like that go against them, heads would drop.
I have tried.
Yeah if one batsman that walks, it is Adam Gilchrist. He has walked when there are times he would of been correct to have stood his ground..
