*Official* - India in West Indies

[vcs]

Anyway, this series has proved one thing beyond doubt.. Ajmal >> Harbhajan.

EDIT : Bhajji gets Shiv!! All is forgiven. Jeez, that's probably the worst decision I've ever seen.

 

[shankar]

Yep, good point. Still it says that Zaheer gets them out at about the same rate in terms of balls bowled per dismissal. Maybe they also have better partners to keep them away from the strike when Zaheer's bowling?

Possibly! But IMO in cricket it's better to think in terms of a bowling attack versus a batsman rather than a one-on-one between a bowler and a batsman which is why I've never treated the commonly used (on CW) average against side when bowler A was playing very seriously either.

Whether they would have been good enough otherwise is another issue entirely.

Simmons and Sarwan both got out playing extremely attacking strokes against India's best bowlers when new to the crease. The tactics were poor.

Yeah, but TBF it sort of worked for them in the last Test getting them off to a good start.

Oh God, that's an absolute shocker.

1. swann

[Cevno]

Shocker.

Lol @ the commentators not picking it up before.

They were saying it cut back.

 

[Uppercut]

Must have got bored of watching Shiv bat.

 

[Furball]

Dear god, that's an abysmal decision.

 

[nsniks]

Thats a very bad decision. And can somebody tell me why has harbhajan stopped bowling doosra?

Agree wholeheartedly on that.

 

[Uppercut]

Lol what the hell, just looked at that again, unbelievably poor decision. Can't believe someone actually gave that out.

 

[Furball]

There has to be a way of overturning those in the England-India series. Otherwise the DRS system becomes a nonsense.

Incredibly poor decision. Can't believe Gould gave it, he's usually quality.

If only there was some kind of ball-tracking system that could be used to assess mechanically whether it was likely that the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps.

Ahh, if only.

 

[silentstriker]

What a ****ty decision.

 

[Cruxdude]

That is possibly the worst decision I have seen. Equals the one with Qadir and the English batsman.

 

[Uppercut]

Usually when they say it would have missed another set of stumps they're exaggerating.

Ahh, if only.

Ball tracking was not at all required for that ,tbf. It was bloody obvious to me the first time round in real time.

And these are the type of shockers for which ball tracking can be used if you want too.

Thats a very bad decision. And can somebody tell me why has harbhajan stopped bowling doosra?

There was a period where he was pretty much ONLY bowling it. Now it has gone the other way.
