Malinga and Murali both are chuckers. If they can be allowed to bowl then Kotla pitch can allowed for play as well

Mr.Arora, stop making such non-sense comment. Its not abt India-srilanka. Its abt cricket. Think from that angel. do u think kotla type of pitch is gud for cricket??? And for canceling of tha kotla match, srilankan in not at all responsible. If u ask indian player, they will say the same. Infact, both the captain has raised similar concern abt the pitch. The match refree is supreme in the match. he has taken decison to halt the match by verifying all the facts. It is not that srilankan is start crying and match refree got emotional and abondand the match. so please grow up......and think from ur mind instead of ur heart. Its true, we all wanted match to be completed but pitch was not up to the mark. AND blame goes to DDCA. so if u have to shout or blame then blame one and only - DDCA becouse of sunday fiasco, delhi is not only going to be banned for forthcoming SA test series in feb'2010 but also there is high possibilty that the 4 scedule world cup 2011 match in delhi will be shifted to some other venuse

Sacking of 20 years experienced curator and replacement by 'non curators' need to be explained by DDCA. Grass needs certain natural, weather conditions and timing to grow properly, you can't wish it or grow it with money or power!!
the pitch was so horrible that the cricketers who survived the attack in pakistan would have definately been in much more grave trouble here had they played the entire innings!wat a lame excuse by DDCA

it was far too late to call it off in 24th over. like jadeja mentioned it in one of the news channels that since it was a dead rubber, they gave up easily.
Re: agreed it was dangerous - but not in 24th over
by Nikhil Arora on Dec 28, 2009 11:29 PM
U r right... these Lankans are bullies of flat wickets... any bounce and they would cry... if it was in Gabba they couldnot even utter a word... it happened because of our ultra liberal Indian communist mentality.
Re: agreed it was dangerous - but not in 24th over
by S G on Dec 28, 2009 11:28 PM
they want to play in flat pitches only so that they can score 400 runs. One challenging pitch and they are wet in front and yellow on the backside. These so called batsmen wear more body armour than the our soldiers at the borders.

S G:
Isn't it indicative of the dangerous nature of the pitch that with a mere leather ball AND with armour more than soldiers, there still were couple of injuries? :)
You have articulated the Kotla ban even better than any ICC spokesman could have ever done. :)
We are so used to playing on feather beds that when we encounter a really testing pitch.... we blame it on the bad pitch. Did you see Mohammed Aamer bowling today morning at Melbourne in the Aus-Pak Test Match? In the first eight overs his bouncers have flown much more at different angles than what balls flew in 23 overs at Delhi..... they are still playing the match and will play on that for TWO more days!!! Agreed it isn't the best of pitches but haven't all countries played on such or much worse pitches before? And what would have happened had India batted first and were 83 for 5? Wouldn't Srilanka have continued fielding? Just because a particular team has already lost the series and felt that they would loose one more match ... they blamed it on the pitch! Typical .... Nach naa aaye - aangan tedha!
Re: What bad pitch ?
by S G on Dec 28, 2009 11:32 PM
You will never see these great players leave the pitch when they are scoring 400 runs on a dead pitch.
One challenging pitch and they are peeing their pants. Lankans go home to your moms.

When similar words were used by the Aussies for the Indian team when we were crying after the Sydney test, YOU wanted us to believe that Aussies were racist, cheats, bullies, sledgers and convicts. :)
Now that you are using the same language against Sri Lankans, you feel proud. :)
Re: Re: What bad pitch ?
by Raman Shiva on Dec 29, 2009 12:26 AM
SG ur missing the point,dont talk rubbish,Slankas were not scared of losing,their batsmen just kept getting hit on the body,if they r chickesn what about ur hero Sachin who sat the match out?do u think he chickened out to save face?
So now its Chetan Chauhan who is using race as a excuse,all along it was Sunil Gavaskar and Ranatunga who used it to bail out culprits like Murali and co.
Its no use to support DDCA here and blame GORA Refree for banning the match,yea the match went on until 24th over,so what maybe srilankans did try to play but cant do it when a ball rises 10 feet above the batsmen sideways when the bowler didnt even try a bouncer and a ball doesnt rise above shin.
Stop using Race as a excuse,Aussies have won WCUPs 4 times,the first cup in India 1987 not by racist behaviour or cheating,by playing good cricket,if u want to reach their level everything has to be improved,from ground conditions to selecion process,not just sledging or mind games like these.
Aus and SAF have never produced sub standard pitches,ever,England and NZL have also had some pitches that favored bowlers a lot,but thats cause of cold conditions,plus there was no uneven bounce that hurt the batsmen constantly
If Chetan Chauhan wants to know who chickens out of bad pitches,then he should watch Sachin sit on the pitch pretending the ball didnt bounce every time he used to get bowled or LBW.of late he hasnt been doing it thank god
Re: Stop using race as excuse whiners
by raghvendra singh on Dec 28, 2009 11:24 PM
This is a face saving statement after long deliberation! Why no one said so immediately?? The pitch was very very bad, unpredictable with ball keeping low from bald spots and flying off from clumps of grass, no denying, plainly everyone could see; did not require expert commentators views. The Sri Lankans took many body blows before finally calling it a day. Very poor show DDCA.
Re: Stop using race as excuse whiners
by Kausik Bose on Dec 28, 2009 11:20 PM
The debate here is not about India or Australia or SA. Please do not stray from the topic and try to cover one issue with the other. Nobody is using race as an issue. The few matches that have been banned for dangerous wicket in cricket history have been banned within the first 5 overs. So Chetan is correct in saying that if a match has been played for 23 overs it could have gone on. He may have have other weaknesses and the Indian cricket board may have other weaknesses but that is not in question here. By the way are you from Sri Lanka?
Re: Re: Stop using race as excuse whiners

Number of overs is no criteria, just political face saving gimmickry.
Re: Re: Stop using race as excuse whiners
by NOBODY on Dec 28, 2009 11:29 PM
pehaps u forgot that if the match would have progressed then, India need to bat as well. And at dat time pitch would have become more dangerous. wat would happen if our key player like sehwag or gambhir or any player got injured on that dangerous pitch. Match refree donot take decision in emotion. We all wanted match would have been comleted but not at the cost of any player. Instead of blaming DDCA for making such disaster pitch, u seems to be supporting DDCA. Perhaps u donot know, one month back itself ICC raised cocern abt the under prepared kotla pitch. instead of that, DDCA has organised match on that under-prepared pitch. The result: we all know.

non sense. When a match in Indore was called off in 5 overs because of a bad pitch,why was it not possible for these guys to find it out within latest by 10th over. There is more to it than meets the eye. If a game can carry on for 24 overs ,it can carry on for 50 over too. Its just that Lankans did not want to continue.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Stop using race as excuse whiners
by Against Pseudos on Dec 29, 2009 05:37 AM
Arihantak:
If a game can carry on for 5 overs, it can carry on for 10 overs too. And if it can carry on for 10 overs, then why not 20 overs? And if for 20 overs, why not for the entire 50 overs a side? :)
You just proved that the Indore game shouldn't have been called off either. :)
Re: Re: Stop using race as excuse whiners

Kausik
I am not trying to go off topic,it was Chetan Chauhan who brought Australia and South Africa into picture and said it wouldve never happened there,well how does he know?plus AUS AND SAF have never had sub standard pitches.if he felt the Refree was unfair why didnt he raise the concern then and there? If Lankans are chickens then why didnt SUnil Gavaskar (the ultimate whiner against GORAS)or Ravi Shastri the so called expert raise a concern to not stop the match?they both agreed the pitch was dangerous. No one complains of bounce,it was irregular exagarated bounce when even a bowler doesnt expect the ball to bouce so awkwardly that it becomes a problem Atleast give credit to Lankans for playing 24 overs. If u talk about excuses,the excuse given by team india for flopping in WCUP 99 that they didnt know the super six rule clearly is the excuse of all time So was IS Bindras excuse that team India should not have knocked out just after 2 losses in 2007 wcup. Those are xcuses of highest order
I seriously wonder what would have happened if instead of 85/5, sri lanka were 100-120 for 1/2... sri lankans are nobody but bunch of cry babies, who believe that they loose because of umpries and conditions.... truely a team without even a single ounce of sportsmanship.... where all bowlers are chuckers True couple of balls were bouncing awkwardly (literally only a couple), but why do they have protectitive gear for.. its just that they played, found and escape route, started crying (refree refree bacha lo mujhe... india maar rahi mujhe), refree obliged

India have batted numerous time in past and present in such situations.. but india always had players of calibre to handle the situations
Re: Re: Re: So true
by S Shrikanth on Dec 28, 2009 11:14 PM
That was 30 years back when pitches and grounds were not covered and players did not wear helmets and other aids. Chatfield almost died against Peter Lever on such a pitch and Nari Contractor lost his cricket career.
Today cricket is a luxury game of rich and wealthy cricketers and they like to play on pitches like Rajkot only.
But Team India would have been deeper trouble as the pitch was fine in the first hour and then started deterioterating. By the India would have batted, it would have completely dug up. In Calcutta in 1996 Indian batting had collapsed against Jaisurya and De Silva.
Re: Re: Re: Re: So true
by raghvendra singh on Dec 28, 2009 11:32 PM
In 1996 poorly prepared pitch cracked up in Eden Gardens in second spell; it was clearly visible through binoculars from the stands; Kambli even came out crying; the Indian players could not do anything against the uncertainly turning ball. I was personally present as a spectator during the World Cup match.

by aaa shafeek on Dec 28, 2009 11:27 PM
the match deserved to be called off, there were 3-4 instances were people were being hit on fingers or elbow, i wonder what your reaction would be if India had batted and Sachin breaks his hand and is out for 6 months
