3 reds. If it wasn't three reds it'd be difficult to care about the umpire thinking he had hit it, but as it is...

The toss doesn't make a difference (so I've been told).

Ah they didn't show it on Sony I think. Sucks for England. Even I'm pissed off about it. The third umpire didn't even seem to consider that it might be bat on pad, and just jumped to "yes bat on ball, not out". Ridiculous stuff.

England would be 3-0 down by now had that happened with Kohli.
Yes tell that to the team play day/night test with a red ball at Lords. Over 5 tests it does even out, law of avg, but not when the same teams wins all 5 or 4 in a row.

dubious umpiring has influenced games since forever. nigel llong in adelaide didn't change the underlying problem of trent boult and tim southee impersonating 2006 steve harmison in that series.
you can't really argue whether a batsman playing well deserves luck or not, it's just a handling error by the opposition that gets punished.
i guess i just watch too much rugby. never rely on the umpire/referee

It's not a day night test, you don't play them with red balls. India blew a fantastic chance on day two, and that's an end of it. It doesn't make any more difference than winning the toss in India, which I've been told is no difference. Stop whinging.

Root's a real sore loser under that impish exterior isn't he? Cribs when given out, cribs when a review goes the other way. Broad now joining in on the douchebaggery too but that's not unusual.

Ali cook lost every toss in india in 2012......toss helps for sure but good teams win regardless.

My point is that errors from the opposition are and should be part of the game. It's what makes sports compelling.
In an ideal scenario, umpires wouldn't make mistakes and shouldnt be part of the game at all.

I think they've already started treating this as an ODI now.Kohli and Rahane have batted remarkably well so far. Seen off the new ball without taking any chances and then scored runs through patient strike rotation.
Just need 50 overs more of this **** fro these two and then we might have a chance.

Cept he's winning dumbass.
Look that DRS review was ****ing woeful by the 3rd ump. I'm absolutely seathing here.......reckon Root has a right to be little ticked off.
Who's whinging, someone who thinks toss didn't make a difference at Lords or me who's countering the argument that (only) Kohli's been incredibly lucky? BTW you still did win 4 tosses in India, so stop with your made up stories.
