Agree with the team's flaws and incapacity. This is a pathetic side. Bowling and batting wise. And nothing with mentality dear kid. Sledging is garbage in 2024. You sledge when you don't have talent. Some mentally weak fall for it. Understand that collapse in the last session started and continued with typical Aussie Sledge. Hope you understand

Sledging is part of the game. Bold writing isn't though.

I've seen the Jaiswal wicket now and it's fairly uncontroversial to me, the only question being whether it hit both glove and face of the bat. Was Australia the last country to stop using hotspot and snick together? I never understood why this decision was made, maybe cost and time.

All this talk about snicko is irrelevant. Snicko should only come in if you can't tell without it. Shouldn't have been a factor in the Jaiswal wicket at all

Ok it was a big deviation but it took some stones for the 3rd ump to overturn the on field decision without the backing of technology, given India's power in the game.

I think some people are wound up.

Popcorn out here.

Third umpire was correct today and Kohli and India got what they deserved for his day 1 antics.

Cricket isn't just about talent; it's about GRIT AND RESILIENCE. Mentally weak players, no matter how technically good or prolific in domestic circuits, should have no place in the team. Look at Cummins, Lyon, or any Australian player—they embody what India has lacked for decades. We saw the fragility in the 2023 ODI WC final. Remember Zaheer Khan's wide first over in the 2003 World Cup final that set the tone with his visible fear and mental fragility. Mentally unfit cricketers who fail in crunch situations are the biggest bane of Indian cricket. That's why India loose major tournaments time and again.

The main reason is probably cost but just as good a reason is that Hotspot typically adds more confusion than it resolves. It really struggles with fine edges (i.e. the ones you'd actually want to review)

That's the thing with tech isn't it, tempting to always throw in more in the hope it will solve all unusual situations but it can do the opposite. In this situation a positive hotspot would support the final decision, a negative one would just add more controversy. From an academic point of view I would like to see what it would have shown though, but that's just me being geeky.
