***Official*** Australia in South Africa 2013/14

This is why referrals shouldn't be in players' hands. ****ing stupid design of a system. Better than not having it at all but needs a fair few changes in how the whole issue is approached.

Of course they should be in the players' hands.

**** Holding is talking ****. You're not intrinsically less deserving of being out just because it's less obvious.

there is definitely a large amount of cricket fans who think this way though, its the same reason broad copped so much **** for not walking but no one has made any mention of rogers being obliged to walk

 

[wiff]

whose hands then? putting it in the on-field umpires hands won't solve the problem because there will be occasions where the umpire is absolutely sure the batsman is out/not out and won't review his call even if its wrong. And i can't really see how it can be put in the 3rd umpires hands, is he expected to make a call between the short space of a decision being given not out and the next ball being bowled?

Make it home viewers choice

rogers = good guy; broad = ****

I always laugh at people who think the umpires should look after DRS, would never work.

 

[ajdude]

[wiff]

Oh boy

 

[uvelocity]

[dermo]

[uvelocity]

[Maximas]

[ajdude]

australian commentator = it bounced
south african commentator = i think it's out

 

[wiff]

Ab should of swam forward to catch that

 

[Spark]

I'm going to say he's caught that clean because the gloves are under when it bounces but you can't ever give that.

 

[ajdude]

guys imagine if james brayshaw was commentating

 

[Spark]

How'd the umpire miss that edge, though? Weird.

 

[Maximas]

fingers vertical when the ball hit them, which suggests they weren't underneath the ball

 

[wiff]

Leaves the next ball alone.

Given india' s population, that's what it'll take for the BCCI to accept DRS.
