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

[Optimax]

With drs we may well still be 4 for

We couldn't possibly dominate a day batting against India

 

[Flawed Genius]

I am vomiting blood.

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

Absolute bs. This is why I hate playing India. Corruption and cheating and Indians go hand in hand. If one team wants DRS, then it should be in.

 

[grizzlym]

Look at that replay. Erasmus wasn't going to give it out at first and then bowed to the pressure.

Disgusting.

That says more about Erasmus than anything.

 

[mattymac]

two obvious umpiring failures change the game. our technological witchcraft could've resolved both immediately. absolute bollocks

 

[stickman11]

what a load of rubbish

 

[Keys]

Why do the Indians not want to use drs and is there any other countries that object?

 

[The_Reaper]

I hope Pattinson breaks some jaws.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Funny thing is, these mistakes have been in the game for years, but people think the umpires are getting worse. No, not true.. they just are being exposed because of technological advances like Rotator!

Still... shit decisions are shit



OCCUPY MCG!

 

[mike14]

You can't blame the Indians, this is all on the ICC. There is no excuse why technology should not be used in a game like cricket, where it really doesn't slow down the play. It should have nothing to do with what the captains want, common sense should prevail.

It's day 1 and there's already a huge 'what if' over this test match, which is just stupid.

Also, whatever happened to the batsman getting the benefit of the doubt? There seemed to be a bit in both those decisions to the naked eye...

 

[JasRulz63]

If this was the other way around, we'd probably see India walk off and the ICC (a.k.a BCCI) backing them up

 

[Gak Attack]

Problem is CA will just cop it, if it happened to India they would be crying conspiracy, racism and threatening to go home. A keeper doesn't get it wrong that often, don't agree with anyone saying dhoni wasn't hope appealing because it was close to the bat. From husseys reaction the umpires should of known they got it wrong, should of been 100% sure on the next one they gave out.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I am vomiting blood.

Not alone FG.

 

[Tassieboy]

Well there's no doubt that's changed the game

 

[Public Enemy No1]

For those idiots who think it's Indias choice of drs it's not.
They basically force the icc to pander to their desires.

And we see why they don't want DRs.

 

[CAS79]

Why do the Indians not want to use drs and is there any other countries that object?

We just learned why not.

something here does not smell right at all.

 

[dan warna]

bad umpiring.

As for claiming badly, we've done our fair share over the years. slater's three bounces and your out is probably one of the worst and laughable.

Yes I now am PRO technology.

2 bad decisions has cost cowan and hussey, its a burn.

I sort of wish bad decisions in our favour now to 'even' the ledger.

 

[Tom Harley]

Hussey dismal was rough, usually if the umpire is in doubt then not out is the decision and it looked like the ump wasn't sure at all.

 

[Phil McCreviss]

Hopefully India loses 2 batsmen in the same way - human error.

 

[coolio]

Just appeal for everything when they bat.

 

[Renegade]

I thought calling players and teams cheats was against the rules on here?

 

[stickman11]

hop patto his sachin right between the eyes

 

[Gak Attack]

Why do the Indians not want to use drs and is there any other countries that object?

Because they tend to get more go their way than other countries. To be fair we seemed to get a lot too but our board was happy to have the playing field as fair as possible, theirs isn't.

 

[Belnakor]

Why do the Indians not want to use drs and is there any other countries that object?

Goes back to a series with Sri Lanka where they lost the reviews like 15-2. They have resisted it ever since.

Totally and utterly self interest.

 

[Magma]

i dont understand the point of investing all this time, money and effort into the drs if you're not going to force all nations to use it. the fact that one country can overrule the entire system is ridiculous.
