wrong decisions favoured only Eng?
by balaji gururajan on Jul 14, 2014 12:26 PM

"Two debatable decisions went against England in the first Test against India at TrentBridge" - Vijay's LBW and Anderson's plumb LBW decision not given when replays and hawk eye suggested he was out was in favour of Eng!

Stalemate bound to continue on DRS. Indians not ready to accept less than perfect technology. English speak up ONLY when they are hard done..

We need replicas of Simon Taufel.. plenty of em

Beta Root, The DRS did not help you in the last 2 series in any way...
Do you remember how in the whitewashed series against australia in australia DRS gave your and aus team a lot of trouble and exposed the shortcomings of that system and even the drs people admitting that the system was not foolproof and there will be lots of errors?
Also against the SL you lost the test series because of DRS....if there was no DRS you would have won the test against SL and the series would have been drawn....but because of DRS the last wicket of SL was saved...and england lost the test series....

Root was very lucky to escape Lbw against Shami as the replays showed. But DRS has to be used.

You are correct as far as grumpy Root is concerned. But DRS needs to be further improved.

I'm sure, you'd hurl expletives at me though..

It is bad that people don't want to play as a sport! DRS only makes people not accept the umpire's decisions! Its UNSPORTSMAN-LIKE!

If DRS is there and used,it is not UNSPORTSMAN-LIKE!
Sometimes, ground umpires make genuine mistakes or even biased decisions and DRS can be used to correct such decisions.

Indian team selection is funny
by lee on Jul 12, 2014 01:39 PM  | Hide replies

What on earth made the MS and selectors pick up Jadeja and Binny for test squad. This proves aain and again that MS lacks test cricket skills and knowledge. Where is Ojha the real spinner or Ashwin. Ashwin/Ojha should have played instead of Ojha and Aaron for Binny. Well whats Binny doing, bowled for 5 overs made 1 run and is a guest in 1st test. Probably Roger Binny had a hand in his selection.
