Boxing Day Test: Australia v India @ MCG (Mon - Fri) *Part 2*

[glenferry23]

wow, what an epic meltdown from the whingers here. this is completely separate to DRS, it was an umpires review that has been around for a while now regardless of whether DRS technology is used or not.

save your whinging and learn the rules. great ball by siddle, but it was illegal. simple. he just needs to go back and do it again against a very tired dravid

 

[Donners]

To be fair, Australia could have had the benefit of this technology too. Haddin's dismissal was reviewed as well - the difference is that the Indian bowler didn't overstep, whereas Siddle did.

Rather obvious solution to that problem, I'd think.

 

[sherb]

Lol Siddle, what a moron.

If you don't want to take wickets off no-balls, then don't bowl no-balls.

Land your front foot six to twelve inches before the crease and you will never, ever have the problem. Instead, bowlers continue to push their luck.

Zero sympathy for the bowler. Serves him right.

 

[dan warna]

it was the correct decision and a minor error by siddle cost us.

Beautiful ball but <Shrug> mistake was made.

*No ball gets checked and wicket overturned*
BF Posters: Corruption! Evil! How dare they get the right decision!

Actually, most people just want a set standard, but feel free to think what you want...

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Farcical that this situation came about to start with.

Extremely unlucky the Aussies

 

[beez]

Obviously with no DRS the umpires can not go upstairs for run-outs, or disputed catches.

If the umpire can check a no ball, why cant he ask if a batsman hit it?

 

[Baby_Jenks]

I'm not even entering into the "cheating" topic. It's just stupidity and arrogance by the BCCI. Consistency is what I'm most peeved about. Have it all or have none of it.

 

[policegetthatman]

Siddle you absolute ****wit.

 

[The Gospel]

LOL, can review a no-ball but not a wicket. Well done ICC, the 'I' is clearly for incompetence

Even Tony Greig thinks its stupid.

One rule for India, another rule for everbody else.

 

[Furn]

They checked it for khan yesterday too.

It's not hard to bowl from behind the line.

Checking no balls and low catches isn't DRS.

 

[Public Enemy No1]

So some decisions can be reviewed and others cant

and some idiots on here are happy with this

clueless

 

[glenferry23]

So one team can review and others can't?

um, no. the umpire reviewed it. simple as that

 

[Selective Retention]

Bad Haddin is in every ****ing ad. Asics, Coke, everything. We will never see the back of him. He is not even marketable, imbeciles, no one likes him.

 

[Messenger]

So there's no review system in this series.

Seems quite an anomaly.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

So Lemmee get this straight, ANY decision regarding the crease, run-out, stumping, no-ball, short run, the umpire can go upstairs and it has nothing to do with DRS.

Is that right?

Pretty sure they want some consistency. We lost two batsmen due to the wrong decision yesterday - which wasn't sent to the video replays.

This one goes our way, and it gets a video replay.

Either allow technology (ideal) or don't. Not do whatever the **** you please.

 

[sherb]

This is already about the 5th time this summer there has been a wicket on a no ball, just f***ing call it umps! Or let the game go on! &Y^$%#$%&*$%#^&$%&

How about the bowlers, who are basically professionals, actually learn to bowl without any risk of bowling a no-ball.

That's where the problem lies, not with the umpires.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Can you honestly not see why people are upset?

 

[Tassieboy]

Dravid has played and missed 10 times. So lucky.

 

[mike14]

They checked it for khan yesterday too.

It's not hard to bowl from behind the line.

Checking no balls and low catches isn't DRS.

No but it's still using the tech. The umpire clearly wasn't sure about Hussey yesterday, why didn't he check to see if it was nicked.

Like I said above, it's good that the right decision was made, but where's the consistency?

 

[ManWithNoName]

If the umpire can check a no ball, why cant he ask if a batsman hit it?

Because, I'm assuming this is the ICC's logic, a no ball isn't part of the decision as to whether it's out or not (LBW, edges etc.). It's separate to the decision. Hence not part of the DECISION Review System.

 

[mattymac]

don't lose the plot here siddle, keep it up there

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

They checked it for khan yesterday too.

It's not hard to bowl from behind the line.

Checking no balls and low catches isn't DRS.

It is using technology to determine whether or not a batsman should be given out.
