***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

[Athlai]

LOL What is this so called point. Enlighten me

The Indian cricket board is the reason that this series doesn't have UDRS. Every decision that goes against India should hopefully see the board wake the **** up and take a step in the right direction.

Just repeating yourself over and over again doesn't constitute a rebuttal. Your plane took off hours ago, upside down in the wrong direction.

My point still stands .Yours and others repeated denials doesnt mean a thing unless you explain yourself.

****ty decisions tend to be remembered more than good decisions, so it would seem that way. I'd say 90% would be a better figure.

In that 90% they probably include appeals from square leg to balls pitching 2 feet outside leg.

 

[NasserFan207]

Have they actually gone through snicko et all for the cowan dismissal?

Yeah probably true...still 95% is 19/20 decisions correct. That just seems very high...too high.

Yep. There was nothing until it hit the gloves.

 

[Spark]

I cannot for the life of me believe Cowan's was given out. Just... wow.

 

[Jacknife]

That's easy to say when you're not responsible for Australian international cricket. You would be willing to risk a lock-out or something along those lines?

Agree, when your the Australian administrators that's responsible for paying peoples wages and for one of the biggest sporting events of the year, you aren't going to call a series off over URDS.

 

[Kylez]

Aren't there a few Indian players who also support the notion of no UDRS? IIRC, Tendulkar was one of these players, it's not just the BBCI who should be copping the blame if that's the case.

I know Dravid is a supporter of the UDRS system. Such a gun, Rahul is.

 

[silentstriker]

Yeah probably true...still 95% is 19/20 decisions correct. That just seems very high...too high.

Well at least 90% of appeals are full of ****, so I can buy the 95% number.

 

[Spikey]

Siddle looking oddly not **** against spin today

 

[NasserFan207]

Yep. There was nothing until it hit the gloves.

Guessed so, since neo cricket isn't showing any replays. Cricinfo says it was marginal

Uh, the ICC executive board itself voted in October to make UDRS not mandatory - Australia wasn't a lone wolf there.

Neo cricket a firm believer in ignoring they ever happened.

Well, controversy and the ****s at the BCCI aside, how far short of a par score are Australia gonna be.

350 surely will be minimum?

Gist is, any decision going against a player representing a board that refuses technology to supposedly eradicate those decisions is poetic justice. Any decision going against a player that represents a board that would prefer technology be used to eradicate those decisions isn't poetic justice, it's frustrating.

You crash your car because you refused to change your bald tires, as opposed to crashing your car because someone else arbitrarily told you not to change your bald tires. It's different.

We have never had too many technically proficient batsmen in the Australian test side and this side is no different but what distinguishes the current batting line-up from the previous one's apart from obvious gulf in class is their muddled and conservative approach towards batting.

Australian way has always been to counter attack and be aggressive in tough situations which this line-up has not been doing for sometime now, personally I would be far more happy if our batting collapsed while trying to be aggressive rather than just falling over lamely playing almost nothing shots.

Nah India is playing, which means it's a guarantee that at least one tail ender ****s all over our attack.

 

[Spikey]

I just can't understand why we can't have a DRS where replays are the only 'weapons' to judge the decision. One replay was enough for Hussey and Cowan. **** hotspot, **** snicko, **** hawkeye.
