11.6 Warne to Dravid, FOUR, drifts to leg and its flicked fine as the
umpires call for tea and we see the nylon netting descend to
prevent anything being thrown onto the field

This is tragedy for India.
That Sehwag decision was abysmal from Bowden.

It's actually to prevent anything being thrown at the umpires!

Do people have good throwing arms in Bangalore?

For the rest of the series, the Indian team will have to depend a lot on Kumble and Harbhajan, since these two are most likely to take the bulk of wickets. John Wright must take videos of Gilchrist and Clarke and study them really hard. Not to mention work just as hard on the top 6, which needs more than one change, on present form.

[Mister Wright]

and by 'he should be worried', it means that his place is under threat, when in fact it isnt(or shouldnt be). and everybody no matter how good they are have poor innings, to say that that was not the innings of the best player of spin is simply ludicrous, would you say the same thing about lara after his problems against the pace of flintoff in england?

Read my post! God this is frustrating! I said that the innings was not one of the best player of spin. Have you seen the innings, can you comment? It was a disgraceful innings. By no way did I incur that he had problems against spin, nor did I infur he should be dropped. All I said was that innings was not one of the player of spin. Understand?

Enjoy the game...

Is there any game left ?

If they want Clarke, they have two options. They can keep trying with the spin of Harbhajan, but that is waiting for him to make a mistake. He's unlikely to be stumped despite his tendency to come a long way down the wicket, but often with his front-foot defence he plays the bat too far forward of his front-leg, making him prone to hitting the ball in the air.

I've noticed that his biggest problem is with left hand pacemen running the ball across him at a good length. Not too full, because he tends to drive those pretty well, but actually half-volley length tends to get a nick from him sometimes playing horizontal bat shots or trying to work the ball down to third man.

A reason for not using the technology? It destroys the human element.

Think about it like a legal case. A judge makes a decision because they understand the situation best of all, and they have the power of reasoning and cognitive thinking. Would you like to be sent to court to deal with a robot that is actually limited in its decision-making process?

Computers are only as good as humans program them. And if you doubt that humans themselves have faults, then you haven't a leg to stand on with the umpiring comments.

You're making it sound like robots would make the decisions. That's not correct, a human would still be giving the decision, based on video, rather than a robot making the decision.

There's no doubt that there would still be some controversial decisions, you can never get rid of that. But there is no doubt that the introduction of technology would minimise as much as possible, the number of wrong ones. Surely you can't argue with that? The case in point is the use of video in stumping/run out cases: There are still some controversial ones, but for the most part, the correct decision is being made.

The other thing that slightly bemuses me, is that many people say that "umpires don't get the benefit of replays", well why not give them benefit of the replays?

No one is denying the Indians are playing poorly. The batting has been pitiful. But don't dismiss poor umpiring and sweep it under the carpet. Whether its against the Aussies or Indians, shocking umpiring has occurred in this test match from two of the most experienced and (until recently) most acclaimed umpires in cricket. There's a problem here. Fair enough its tough deciding when balls are going over the stumps or not, but that inside edge was absolutely huge. Bring back the mics, for the good of cricket.

Two "teams" have played poorly in this match. The Indian cricket team, and the umpires. For people who are considered the third team, they're definitely out of form. I would be saying the EXACT same thing if the Aussies were losing, and I know you Australians would be saying the same thing too.

I know that . But what do you think . Is'nt the deserving team still at the top . I was just watching a thread which said Sehwag should be droped and here on this thread people are wondering as if he was definately gonna make a double ... They are humans com'on . Keep the game natural ...
