Great. We can now put another astrologer on the job to determine whether your astrologer predicted correctly or whether he had a twinkle in his eye and his tongue in his cheek when he spoke out his prediction to you... :)
Dhoni struggled to send ball out of park in his later part of the inning and played so many dot balls, he couldn't increase the run rate neither hit any big shot except one six in the end. What happened to his IPL firepower or the claim " Need few balls to set" then ...?.He depended on Raina and even praveen kumar to hit, struggling to even taking singles for them after playing 50 balls trying hard to find gaps for singles. Run rate was OK until he entered and then slow down the rate by not rotating the strike and then never able to raise it. His and Yuvraj's form should be under scanner as they are not playing a match winner but match saver and waiting for others to do that. Yes Nehra, Ishant & Munaf are not alrounder that's a concern but major concern is top players are struggling except Sehwag. Karthik & Rohit will be replaced by Gambhir & Sachin so no need to waste more time. Tiwari should have given one chance ahead of rohit.

Wrong decisions have been a part and parcel of the game as have been batsmen getting out and bowlers getting hit out of the park.
That shows that life is not perfect and errors in judgement exist. You are suddenly an expert because you see 233 different slow motion replays for days on end after the fact. Wonder why there aren't about 23,000 more fully qualified umpires in the game yet? Ponder and you shall get the answer.
As to specific rules against slow over rates, showing dissent etc., you are most welcome to add specific rules against umpires.
But yes, you have full right to defend Dhoni as if he has been guilty of slow over rates for the first time since he was born... :)

We came second even in a tri siries involving only 3 countries. We'r usually not at the top in test, one day or 20-20 cricket. Australia had been at the top for many years in the past. But Australians r not cricket crazy. They give importance to many games. However despite not being at the top, we go on worshiping our cricketers, bcz of which they earn in crores, whereas players in other fields don't get even elementary facilities. For example, our Cyclists hv not been given world class cycles due to fund shortage for the forthcoming Commonwealth games. Now they'll get it just before the games. Our cricket craze even funds the world cricket and even foreign cricketers earn from India.
As we all know except in a few countries, people of the world don't know anything about cricket. Hence it is much more creditable, if a player in any other game, which is played all over the world, like Athletics, Football (soccer) etc, gets even a bronze medal in an international meet, it is much more valuable that winning even the world cup in test / one day / 20-20 cricket and we could not win even a 3 nation tournament.

ram sharma, nobody is forcing you to watch cricket or pay the cricketers crores of rupees. if others want to watch cricket or pay the cricketers crores of rupees i dont see how it is any of your business? or do you want to pass a law banning these 2 activities?
if you feel other games in our country are not given much importance or even elementary facilities why dont you do something about it yourself? you can do some work to develop these other games in our country. sponsor or try to find a sponsor for these games. do you really watch and/or patronize all these games other than cricket in our country?
instead of complaining why dont you something constructive about it?

ramu, even it happened to me..be patient..meanwhile, babu is an ignorant moronic ass..jus ignore him, while i appreciate ur comments..
Team India faced defeat and fined for slow bowling. Also their tale players miserably failed to face the challenge in final.Praveen,Ishant,Nehra ,Tiwari etc. were trembling before wicket as if they never held a bat in their hands before .Would Team India improve their game or open flood gate of ENQURIES with regards to 'MATCH -FIXING' etc. as Pakistan Players are caught by Camera counting money taken for Match Fixing in England?
