Anti India Bias
by Avinash Nema on Jun 13, 2006 06:43 PM

Not only the third umpire The entire TV coverage is biased. To an experienced watcher it is apparent that facts and footage favouring India is downplayed. For Instance a replay favouring India is less likely to be showed or repeated but if there is a footage or argument favoring West Indies it will be repetedly shown. I have often noticed that Hawk Eye replays favoring Indian Bowlers are often either not shown or diluted.



It looks like a cartel of commentators,third umpires doing their bit on the field whereas at a higher level ICC and others deny India their share of Umpires (No Indian Umpire in the panel so far) or ensure Anti India umpires like Steve Buckner;s etc as well as host of other things like unfavorable revenue sharing,Inconvenient and hectic tour schedules etc.



It is time when a focus and objective study is built on such fine doctoring rather than having some senseless masala programme on our TV channels which are made for masses the way cheap and vulgar films were produced for Stalls.
