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

[Stapel]

Their recent averages don't reflect good to very good though, but rather great. I don't think you can select any ATG players from their side who can continue to perform once they hit a bad patch.

Happened to Bell, Pietersen & Cook. And to Strauss too for that matter.

I really think Cook will be an all time great in due time.

Anyway: on topic:

Siddle and Hadddin to elevate Aus to 350, just to see their hard work chopped to pieces by Tendulkar's 100th 100.

So... You're saying it's stupid to not use it just because it's not 100% accurate, but at the same time that the BCCI are valid in refusing it because it's not 100%? Just a touch contradictory imo.

No. What I'm saying is predictive path is not accurate and BCCI do have a point there. Especially after the Ian Bell issue in the World Cup. However hot spot seems to be accurate. So there should be a case made for the use of technology atleast with Hot spot. All I'm asking is what is the issue for India with the hot spot and if so can some one clear that doubt that the Indian board has and rope them in. If not Why can't the other boards just ask BCCI to shove it up their rears.. ?

We need your money. Pretty much the only thing India are useful for right now.

Yeah then they have no other option except to STFU and listen to BCCI and stop the whinging.

Doesn't mean the fans have to stop.

I believe if fans think like gotspin they have to suck it up too and stop the whinging.

 

[AlwaysProteas]

And people like ganeshran wonder why people have schadenfreude whenever a decision goes against Indian player.

 

[GotSpin]

Why should I stop complaining when the BCCI is acting like a Neanderthal.

I'm going to have a field day when India cops some bad decisions.

I would like to see a few go against India and how they take it. I'm all for it.

Whinging will always remain strong with the fans I know Indians were whinging about Kumar, us about a few players, long live whinging!

 

[TumTum]

Worst hat-trick ever.

The point I'm trying to make is

Even without hot spot etc. Technology in rudimentary form can be of help to howlers. Let's take everything out hawkeye, hot spot and what not.

Just have plain old replays. We would have reversed two decisions yesterday. As simple as that. I think they should start with that first and see if the Neanderthals oppose it.

Wasim looks like a rock star.

So why take out hotspot? Sometimes there are inside edges that are clear on hot spot but don't show a clear deflection.

****ing Tennis doesn't have to put up with this **** where Wimbledon has ShotSpot but US Open doesn't. I Jelly.

Didn't the Poms whinge about Vaseline in the bat on Hotspot? I'm saying that plain vanilla replays are good to start with and then work toward an 100% system. That way the Neanderthals are satisfied. Clearly Hussey got a howler yesterday and those are the ones we should eliminate.

There've been a few occasions where its been off on partial aspects, more times than not its been accurate.

 

[Son Of Coco]

I sense this could end up being the sequel to Sydney 2008, with Sachin being let off by Erasmus on 0 tomorrow, and going on to get 200, Sehwag edging the ball to first slip and standing his ground on, Dravid claiming a dodgy catch off Clarke and Dhoni raising Erasmus' finger for him, and Ponting getting a shocking caught behind decision, all leading to an Indian win in the final session with Sachin cleaning up the tail.

Would be so awesome

Nah, the moment of the series will be Sachin given out LBW on 99 to a ball going a foot down leg.

Is your point that hotspot can't pick up the faintest of nicks, therefore not 100% so therefore we should not use it?
