4th Match - India v Pakistan

[ankitj]

I was not going to post until end of the match, but had to say I don't understand that decision. There may have been an edge but gotta have some evidence. Feel bad for Akmal.

 

[Athlai]

Going to take some magic now. Pakistan have fallen apart like a real pack of spuds.

 

[Pothas]

us v Afghanistan next month will be close.

Oh yeah without doubt. Can already see us needing to chase something like 175 to make the quarter-finals and making an almighty mess of it.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yeah but I don't think on the basis of how the technology has been used that should have been given out. Snicko showed nothing outside normal deviation. Visual replay showed a possible change of change direction but it was a feather if it did.

I think Pakistani fans would feel right to be aggrieved with that one.

Hmmm yeah. If the on field was out and the decision was upheld then it woudl've been the right one. Here I dunno.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Time for Afridi to reclaim his record from the pretenders like AB and Anderson.

 

[weldone]

Excellent decision.

Yes, but I understand why I could be unhappy if I was a Pakistani supporter.

 

[Athlai]

Commentators talking rubbish. Afridi has been in the runs against NZ lately. But this is way too early for him to be in.

 

[Scaly piscine]

The only two days I get to watch a bit of live cricket and they turn into dog turd matches.

Oh well, just glorified warm up games I guess.

Was "umpires call" all over.

 

[OverratedSanity]

in an ideal world, I say that's how DRS should work. Let the TV umpire make up his own mind regardless of what the on field decision was.

Would still be annoyed as a Pakistani fan but who cares.

 

[duffer]

Okay so they now need 8 an over. Turn that screw.

Na should've said not out and let Indian fans call for hotspot to be in the next world cup.

 

[OverratedSanity]

It begins

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Haha, yussss.

 

[Teja.]

Reckon we bowled/fielded very well for the first 12-13 or so and got the RRR high despite not taking many wickets.

Reaping the benefits now.

He survives 10 overs then they are back in it and Dhoni will have problems. Has to last that long though.

 

[Daemon]

There was noise in snicko, even if small. His bat wasn't close to the pad so it wasn't that. What else could it be?

No, you're looking for the spikes in the noise to distinguish it from the background noise. There were no spikes.

His feet grinding forward? Snicko definitely picks foot movement up at that sort of degree. Or the keepers feet.

Visually, I thought there was a deviation. The question is how much evidence is enough. It's just way too subjective.
