Actually to be honest, if SA lose the series because of some dodge decision from an umpire, they will have nobody to blame but themselves, not having UDRS was Cricket SA's decision, and it was purely because they didn't want to upset the BCCI. It may not have cost them the last test, but it certainly would have put them squarely in the game.

If India were touring England or Aus, there most definitely would have been reviews, as I assume those respective boards would have politely asked the BCCI to take their request, rotate it to an optimal angle and insert it up a particularly sensitive body opening.

Cricket SA know who lines their pockets & are quite happy to bend over as often as the BCCI wants these days.

That is true, and that is the same worry I have for the West Indies, when India visit the Caribbean in June. Like CSA, the WICB is weak, and unlikely to resist the BCCI's call for reviews not to be used. In the end, it's the fans, like me, who will suffer.

We really need the ICC to show some guts, and to step in and say that the reviews should be for one and all, despite its flaws. Cricket should be a game for everyone, not just the strong. I really don't think bullying should be a part of cricket....

We will not see another Tendulkar in our lifetime. Is it strange that whenever he scores a century I think of JustTool?

It's simple really, if India doesn't want the technology it doesn't have to use it but it shouldn't be able to prevent other countries for calling for it. If this disadvantages it, so be it.

What dodgy decision?

Boucher didn't catch the ball.

THat's your opinion....

They keep playing the replay on Sky Sports News, and there's no sign of any bounce on those replays before it went into Boucher's gloves.

THis is why we need the UDRS. If it went to the TV umpire, and he upheld the on-field ump's decision that Sachin is not out, then no-one could argue with that, except Ricky Ponting, maybe....
:)
But every time I look at the replay, I'm convinced that the TV umpire would've overturned the decision. Sadly, we will never know....

It's stupid that the technology is available to be used, and it's not!
