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

[Public Enemy No1]

No wonder India don't want the DRs system.
alot of umpires in the world can't wait to trigger austn batsmen.
as seen by the last two ashes series in England.

In the footsteps of rudi

Does anyone actually understand what the word "cheat" means?

Sides have to agree if DRS is going to be used. They didn't agree. Their choice.

Today they appealed because they thought it was out. The umpire got it wrong.

Stop throwing around the word "cheat" like a bunch of children and speak intelligently.

How is it cheating? To the naked eye and to most of us watching, it looked out. How do you expect some 60 year old fat bloke to get that right with no assistance from technology?

It wasn't cheating, just the wrong decision. Can completely understand Hussey's frustration.

 

[mattymac]

Who the **** are those 8% voting no for DRS?

um, indians?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

It shouldn't be a ****ing choice though. If the ICC want DRS, DRS should be in ALL Test matches, it's a ****ing disgrace.

Agree with you here BACCS.

What were they appealing for? No noise and the ball missed by an inch and a half at least?

 

[BACCS]

Oh shit.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Yes, it's appealling for a wicket when you know the batsman wasn't out.

So Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne were cheats?

 

[Tulip]

**** this

 

[Dumpstar]

The Indians are cheats. Doesn't anyone remember their antics and time wasting in Sydney.

You're right, but you've got to ask the question why they don't want it, if the purpose is to clean up mistakes. Maybe they've done enough stats work to see that they were better off (i.e. more in their favour or not) pre-DRS.

All we can hope for is that if/when the situation is reversed, they take it on the chin. Unfortunately, their recent history, especially here in Aus, suggests this might be otherwise.

 

[Magma]

cowan

why did they appeal, there was a noise

 

[Jef Costello]

yeah definately missed it.

that white spot appears randomly once the ball goes past and then goes away. pretty strange that one.

think people are going a bit overboard. was a pretty fair appeal. if i was the bowler i would've been going absolutely berserk. my original thought was it was out.

yep this

 

[whats_at_stake]

When did I ever call them racist? They are Indian and they cheated.

All of your views posted here either shut down other posters or their opinions. Why don't you float your own and actually contribute.

How exactly did they cheat? Did Australia cheat last series? Looked out live but was not out.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Oh shit.

Shit. Good innings Cowan.

 

[YOTC]

Not sure he hit that.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

****!!

Well done Ed.

 

[legend166]

Sigh.

Who would have ever thought we'd have a batting collapse? It's so unlike us.

 

[medhurstISGOD]

.

****. Cowan gone.

 

[BACCS]

Will be lucky to make 300 now.

 

[Ron]

We wont even make 250 here

 

[Phil McCreviss]

So Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne were cheats?

True. They were rampant appealers.

As were Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. All great bowlers though.

 

[danielnajdek]

Here is the collapse we are accustomed to ....

Quoted for the truth.

 

[Powerade 08]

Can we get hotspot on that one as well. The indians and umpires aren't very reliable.

The Australian tail does have a history of wagging.
