Gavaskar needs to retire u need to be unbiased in the commentary box. I would wonder if Tony Greig was alive him and Gavaskar would be arguing for 10 mins that it was the correct decision

I hope his finger's OK from the velocity force that caused the ball to deviate. His finger clearly also got caught in that velocity vortex and caused it to move too.
Mate, Gavaskar has been like that for well over 40 years.
Got a chip on his shoulder the size of the Himalayas.
He said both Kontas and Kholi should get a fine and Tim Lane questioned "both" but when only Kholi correctly end up getting the fine and 1 demerit point, he stated he got off lightly lol.

Geez the embarrassment.
Hey I know nobody likes losing and the game is like a religion over there but try and show a little dignity.

There is one thing that I haven’t seen mentioned is what happened to the ball after it past the batter. Bouncers don’t drop as quick as that when there is no deflection. Carey was lucky that it carried to him.

That’s all largely true in terms of fan discussions on forums etc but it ignores the one-sided discourse by commentators, scribes, broadcasters and all other types of content creators/grifters who all financial interests in pandering to the largest audience…and in this case that audience is obviously overwhelmingly Indian
Look at the feeble lack of outcry from Australia’s administration and commentariat over the on-and-off field racial abuse of Australia’s only coloured player for nearly a hundred years…then compare it the hysterical, parochial, hyper-partisan responses from India’s corresponding behemoths over the smallest perceived sleight and can you credibly tell me that they’re comparable?
They’re not…they’re orders of magnitude apart so while your point is correct, it’s also largely redundant in the bigger context
Not really sure what the actual Symonds incident has to do with the other issue - the way he was treated was disgraceful I’ve never argued otherwise.
I don’t think racism on field is ever handled well by those who administer the games we follow and as a consequence I think the reactions to it are exponentially worse.
It’s partly hyper partisanship and partly about creating/feeding an irrational hysteria to collect rage clicks

Perhaps I should mail my ball counter to Joel Wilson. It would seem to suit him.

campaigners whinge about not trusting technology then are livid when the technology didnt show a snick like its foolproof and our eyes witnessing a clear edge are wrong. ****n units
Great stuff from this Shukla clown. They did use the technology (which includes raw footage) and did have solid reasons. And there was technology not used (ball tracker) which provided more proof.
Wonder what his thoughts are on Jaiswal being saved from being given out LBW, despite the technology showing the ball smashing into leg stump.

Basically they're 2 minutes post controversial umpire decided AFL loss all the time
I would like to see some past india cricketers call it out ...instead of sunni whingeing all the time
reckon there is some issues going on with indian cricket atm..older players the establishment etc
Lol, you misunderstood my post…it wasn’t about you or the racism example
It was about the fact that while it’s true that fan bases are equally irrational, hysterical and parochial, the discourse across the respective commentariats on issues like these is overwhelmingly one-sided due to the financial factors at play
Do you follow me?

Pick him as 12th man, or as a coach. Problem solved.
"However, despite Marsh’s poor form, any decision to leave him out would not be taken likely given he is the nucleus of the dressing room as the ultimate team man."
Oh FFS!

The dignified ones are probably to scared to speak up or they'll get the "get into his wifes pants" treatment from the gurus on social media
Happy to be corrected but counting seems to be a strong point of Joel's. It's everything before that's the issue
Maybe they've finally grown as tired of Kohli's crap as others have.

Yeah fair enough - but I think that was an issue that was handled very differently to how this one would be.
I think Australia quietly let that one go away even more than normal and let Symonds down because of the ultra sensitive nature of the issue.
The BCCI and the IPL as we know loom large over indian cricket and world cricket in general....and there influence is massive both positively and negative
Indian cricket while strong is in a period of transition. They have an ageing team ....Ashwin already retired midway through a series...Sharma/Kohli/jadeja getting on they have some interesting decisions to make in the near future
They have found a player in Reddy but I was concerned with india A's batting in the tour games ..going to be interesting to see how they rejuvenate the side
And in Sobers' case, they only played 8 games back then.
I think the BCCI should throw a tanty and pull out of Sydney in protest. That’ll show us.
