Sehwag to beat Lara's record within 30 minutes...

 

[JustTool]

OK. You are right. I hope that makes you happy

When there are barely two appeals in every session, yes, I do think they should make doubly sure.

So even the umpires are sure on a decision, they should consult the third umpire and make it doubly sure? You have said this is a flat track, this that. Surely so much of time wasting will not lead to any thing except drastic fall in number of overs bowled. And there is no reasoning to do that.

Okay so in matches which you consider are flat tracks, ICC should have 3rd umpire referrals? Now tell me how the ICC should decide which match should have double appealings allowed and which matches shouldn't have double umpire referrals?

Farhat drops Sehwag on 12

 

[JustTool]

It's called "common sense". Which, I'm afraid the ICC has none of. That explains why Bucknor is still around and why the Aussies never get penalised for abusing the umpires while the others get detention for excessive appealing. Are you a bureaucrat with the ICC ?

Yeah I bet that one doesn't come back to haunt Pak right?

It's called "common sense".

Actually even if assume your reasoning for time wasting to be applicable, how would you apply it practically?

Unrelated to the issue of having or not having the ruling you said.

 

[Beleg]

Farhat drops one of the easiest catches you can expect to get as a slipper.

 

[JustTool]

practiclaly ??

Honestly I reckon Pakistan perversely enjoy the punishment Sehwag gives them. Seriously how can you drop this man so many times? Its ridiculous.

Hopefully Sehwag tons up and makes Pakistan pay like he pretty much always does when he's dropped.

Whats wrong with the fielders?? Misfields all round..

I'm going with Jono's perverse enjoyment theory...

Pathan has been doing well lately with the bat, so you can't blame India for trying 5 specialists.

I think that when it leaves Dhoni at 6 and Pathan at 7 they're both a place too high, and the 5th bowler doesn't really help.

 

[marc71178]

Erm not really. Teams have played 5 specialist bowlers in the past and will be doing it in the future as well and there is a reason for that.

So which teams have the players to play 5 bowlers and not have stupidly weak batting line-ups?

England.
South Africa.
Pakistan.

Erm, ...

 

[marc71178]

India are still playing with 7 batsmen and 4 bowlers. You just need to figure out the 7th batsman. It's a trick selection.

And the 5th bowler?

 

[Tony Blade]

Razzaq gets Sehwag! The whole crowd erupts..

 

[Jono]

It had to happen. Razzaq had to get the first wicket. Its just how life works

England.
South Africa.
Pakistan.

Erm, ...

1) I said past.
2) I don't know why you ask that. The restraint of whether to play 5 bowlers or not doesn't arise in the above mentioned teams. I thought you knew that.

 

[deeps]

Looks like everyone is into protecting bowlers these days. Ok - how about Harbhajan:

Pathan 19 4 106 0 (1nb)
Harbhajan Singh 21 1 75 0 (1nb)

What about Harbhajan? Do you think you are a better captain than dravid?
