***Official*** India in Australia 2014-5

Nah, disagree. The way DRS works with the "There has to be 190% proof that the on field umpire was a fool" results in the third umpire generally not reversing decisions like those even if it's clear that it's not out. Ends up making both on field and third umpire look like nincompoops.

Depends on instance to instance tho. Sometimes technology cannot catch something for sure or causes slight doubt either way. But I'd say atleast 9 out 10 times this one would have overturned.

Tough to see what doubt could be there.

wow, that's a big call

Doubt many would disagree with me that he's at most a smidgen behind Steyn purely in terms of quality. Just a shame about his body.

This day is turning out a lot like the first NZ-India test.

Just no Wagner to win it for Aus.

You're blaming the lack of DRS, which is what I was referring to when I said it wouldn't have made a difference with the second Vijay lbw

I'm not blaming anything. I'm saying it's absurd to not be using technology that makes the game fairer. India should be at least 1, if not 2 more wickets down.

Surprising that India don't wanna use DRS innit? Seeing they have **** bowlers.

...this isn't an odi

I'm saying he bats better when he thinks like a chaser.. atm he looks good vs Lyon and the pacers aren't getting any reverse so even though it's a 5th day pitch there's runs to be had..

There was a very vague noise on Snicko before it hit the shoulder.

get tpc on

The longer these 2 go the chances of a win increase.

But a wicket and there could be collapse too.

Very interestingly poised but draw seems the most likely to me right now.

This is worse than sandy vag. Did all the sand from Adelaide's beaches get sucked in this morning?

Come on, now. It's one decision. We didn't throw this much of a fit until we got screwed over 10 times as much and ended up losing Sydney 08. #NeverForget

I'm all for DRS but Dhawan might be at 100* - you never know.. since it's not all against Aus no point going on about it.

 

[morgieb]

Urgh this has to be the luckiest innings ever.

 

[Spark]

holy **** this is jammy

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Siddle to get Kohli with a wide slow bouncer.

 

[morgieb]

tpc ?

Smith.

 

[viriya]

First time Ind has higher odds to win than Aus on Betfair..

Why not? I don't mind if dhawan is still playing if he got an incorrect decision, but we're not the one forcing the other guy to not use drs.

Edit: whoops.
