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

[Burgey]

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

Shock me BCCI Cricinfo not calling it as plainly not out.

God their ball by ball commentary is dire. Used to be good til the blokes doing it decided to think of themselves as comedians (they aren't ftr).

Hmmm, Cowan's dismissal looked out to me. Right after the wicket I went for a snack. Really surprised to see the discussion and the conclusion he didn't nick it....

Would it have been overturned by DRS? Or was it too marginal?

Anyway, shouldn't have been out...


About India, the Indian players, The BCCI or CA... It is my view that BCCI are the biggest enemy of cricket. Can't figure out if they are just stupid or hate cricket.... And I think the Indian (senior) players should stand up to the BCCI. They bear a responsibility too!

wat?

Meant Sky obv. Slip of the finger.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

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

Yeah, definitely.

 

[Athlai]

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

Hope it's Patto.

Tony Greig! Do us proud

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

Mate, you're drastically over-simplfying how the decision was reached. It wasn't just about who wanted it, comes down to cash too. A unanimous decision of some sort had to be reached or no-one could use it. Making it not mandatory was the only possible decision.

Just when you think the thread couldn't get any more ridiculous, pup11 comes in with his philosophy on Australian cricket. That's exactly what we need to do, try and hit more boundaries.

 

[Spikey]

can't believe the Chris Martin v Michael Hussey thread hasn't been created ftr

 

[Burgey]

Enjoying this spell from Ashwin here.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

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.

BCCI says that moving picture images aren't a 100% accurate representation of what actually occurred.

If they post that ****ing joke commentary about Jimmy bowling at 200mph one more time...

You were happy with that approach from Haddin in Cape Town at 5-15.......

 

[Noble One]

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.

Probably some of the worst advice I ever read on CW.

Not to mention that they publish comments from anyone with the same level of wit as them, which is pretty much any 12 year old with internet access.

Its a stupid tactic with an in-out field anyway. Should just look to milk the bowling. Thats what the best sides do.

People accuse Haddin of getting out in stupid ways. The truth is he needs to play more rash shots, apparently.
