*Official* India in South Africa

[KiWiNiNjA]

I think it can go back to the umpires original decision if it's missing the stumps by the smallest of margins. But then again, that's a marginal decision and not what the UDRS is for.........

 

[Cruxdude]

Shocking stuff. It's typical that it goes India's way. Hopefully South Africa will act like Indians regarding this, but they probably won't.

Enough of this crap. The Sydney test wasn't all about rough LBW decisions. You know that and still come out with crap.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, possibly. Think it would've been an "umpire's call" tho.

Are you sure it was still swinging in after bouncing? That's quite rare because usually when it bounces it changes the seam position.

Some of the posting in this thread is getting disgusting. Typical it goes India's way?

Get a grip you guys.

Let's not forget the 1 against India. Prince was out lbw to Harbhajan earlier today.

Noooooooo. That was not-out. An umpire can't give marginal decisions like those (similar to tendulakr's LBW shout from the last test).

India would've won anyways IMO, but would've been much better contest if UDRS was available tbh.

 

[Cevno]

Where and when was that?
And how did you figure?

How do you know what it would have done?

According to what your human brain thinks the BALL would have done?

In Bangalore on a very low wicket with the ball hardly bouncing , the ball hits the pads close to full and the bowl is shown to bounce way over the top of the stumps .

There are other instances too where hawkeye has shown weird paths.

Exactly, completely agree with you, people need to stfu about UDRS now. Just enjoy the game, and if you can't, turn the TV off and go do something more productive than crying over the decisions.

Not disagreeing at all.

Anyway India haven't won yet you ****ers. Stop jinxing us.

 

[NasserFan207]

I actually want UDRS, have said it numerous times.

But don't think we can completely rely on the hawkeye and the ICC rightly doesn't either.

It has shown some real weird paths with swing and spin in the past with the commentators commenting upon it too.
Even on Indian wickets with uneven bounce a ball going low has been previously shown to be going over the top of the stumps when after pitching it has hit the pad soon.

Tbh, I don't even care whether hawkeye is 100% accurate. The point is, its totally consistent. And there's 0 chance of favouritism.

Its better than the natural eye, and should be used.

I'd trust that over the umpire any day.

Yes it was.

The Hawkeye showed it really too straight then it was.

Sometimes odd things happen and technology is not upto human comprehension ability relying on experience.

Lol, yeah.

There does seem to be an unusual amount of decisive prank-umpiring in their matches though since they threw their sparkly new technological toy out of the pram. Just thinking back to that Australia match where Ishant got a complete shocker that effectively handed the match to Australia then Ojha got away with missing one that was hitting middle halfway up to hand it back to India.

Without doubt. Didn't really swing until it pitched, which was what made it such a good nut. I reckon Davis probably reckoned it just deserved a wicket, it was that good.

& how is this about Sydneygate suddenly? Lol. Those scars run deep, clearly.

 

[Stapel]

LOL @Steyn farming the strike!

But that is the reason why people are discussing UDRS!

 

[kingjulian]

I want to see Boucher's dismissal again. The ball definitely looked to be coming back into the right-hander. Maybe not enough, but Hawkeye's projected path looked way off.

EDIT: Hang on, I have Sky Plus....

2nd EDIT: Yeah, it's coming back in big time. Sorry, but the technology's wrong there. Height the issue, as I said.

If there is a chance of this happening, then why is BCCI being singled out for relying on Human's than Technology?

 

[silentstriker]

The only time in my 26 years that I legitimately considered not ever watching another game of cricket.

Humans don't have any experience in counter-factual physics. That's impossible. Your argument is invalid.

 

[Cevno]

I'd trust that over the umpire any day.

Why?

The ball won't bounce that high on that wicket no matter what pitching on that length.

It wasn't as if hit the crack.
