***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

[Furball]

Right, That is the premise the Neanderthals aka BCCI are making. But let's to get to 97% with the elimination of the questionable items and get a system that is better than the 95% onboard and work from there. That is my suggestion.

Simply won't happen with your proposals, because you'll still get nonsense like Raina being reprieved at Lord's or Harbhajan getting given out bat before wicket at Trent Bridge.

3/3 is even better than 2/3

Yes sir. But we know that BCCI have their Skeptical glasses on.. So I would rather take 2/3 than 0/3

 

[Sylvester]

With a plain replay you would have got Hussey batting again and Siddle out. That means 2/3 would have been reversed. Cowan's would not have been. But at least 2/3 is better than 0/3.

Which one was the Siddle one?

I'd rather take the 3//3

That Bhajji decision could have been overturned with a plain old replay.

 

[Furball]

Dude, I'm all for technology. All I want is something consistent across the board. Right now with this way India are never going to accept it without 100% accuracy. So at least get a system that everyone accepts and go from there. As simple as that.

By "everyone" I assume you mean "India" because no other board has any issues with DRS as it stands.

 

[straw man]

Which one was the Siddle one?

I think he means Haddin lbw. The 3rd ump may not have overturned that just from regular replays either imo, on account of him being quite far forward.

Yes. I meant India. Not me. I'm all for technology, But right now since all other boards "Want" BCCI money and can't stand up at least get a system that India can accept.

You've missed the point. As soon as you start restricting the scope of DRS, you'll run into a situation where an obviously wrong decision isn't overturned.

Has Zaheer Khan seen a mirror since his injury btw? Atrocious hairdo.

 

[Spark]

Love leaves off the middle of the bat for four

 

[Uppercut]

Haddin edges one for four trying to leave."Fortune favours the brave" says Greigy. What?

Exactly replays alone aren't always enough to show the 'better than faint edge but not a normal edge'.

All I'm asking for is a middle ground. Yes his hairdo is ridiculous

 

[Burgey]

Check the no ball here? All good. Looks out on replay.

 

[straw man]

Commentators going on about how they think Haddin should put away tentativeness and go back to his natural game... "has done the hard work"

Two balls later, out slashing at a wide half volley

 

[Sylvester]

Knew it wouldn't last for Haddin.

 

[Spark]

Give it ffs.

 

[Jacknife]

Just got enough behind the line but it was close.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Clearly not a no-ball. Painfully soft way to get out.

Wasn't slashing tbf. Just playing a drive to a **** ball and edged it.
