1st ODI: Australia v India Perth, Jan 12 2016

[ANTiLAG]

I think Maxwell will get better and better. Would have him in my XI anyday.

Smith deserved MOM, we were 2/21 and is deep poo. Sharma (and Kholi) plodded along when they should have upped the ante between around 30-45 over mark. Easy to stay not out if you aint really going for it. Everyone admits india were 20-40 runs short, it is in this period they screwed up and with 9 wickets in hand

My god, bar thinking India was 50 (as opposed to 20-40) runs short at a minimum, and that Australia was not in deep poo at all, I agree with everything above.

 

[ANTiLAG]

Okay - DRS conspiracy.

Umpires punish India for not using DRS, by giving poor decisions against India?

Dhoni believes DRS, if used at all, should be absolute, like the tennis and the umpires' decision irrelevant.

So umpires risk immediate unemployment, by giving poor decisions against a country not using a system, that could well in the future if implemented make standing umpires redundant in the future?

Okay then, not the best argument.

 

[Twizzle]

India captain MS Dhoni believes his side are getting the raw end of the deal from umpires as payback for the team's ongoing refusal to use the Decision Review System.

lol

 

[Pete Cash]

Lmao he is outright accusing the umpires of cheating.

 

[Ibleedblue]

It's their own bad luck

 

[simmo1]

Dhoni is a deadshit.

This is the same merkin who reckons the crowd throwing bottles onto the field is OK.

 

[Mr Angry]

On the DRS, I would be happy for every wicket to be checked.

Should only take a minute.

 

[Didgi]

On the DRS, I would be happy for every wicket to be checked.

Should only take a minute.

That only goes one way though. Do we then check every appeal? It would end up being an automatic review system and umpires would become almost obsolete - although given they can't even get wide calls right in the Big Bash, that might be fair.

:lol: but as we've seen repeatedly, they view things multiple times, it takes much longer than a minute, and then they sometimes still f**k it up...

 

[The Charlatan]

Perhaps not continuing to bowl Ashwin and Jadeja when they were getting spanked to all corners of the field may have had more to do with the loss than one dodgy decision. To insinuate neutral umpires are effectively cheating is hilarious. Take responsibility for your shit captaining.

They happen in cricket, good teams overcome shit decisions.

 

[Pete Cash]

At least bailey is a batsman.

The kiwis are still carrying on about a bad call on a number 11 lol.

It's not about carrying on, it's about the assumption that the DRS gets the correct decision, patently it does not - there are many examples...

 

[The Charlatan]

Yeah but the Kiwi's had far more to be upset about. The DRS on Lyon was woeful.

Don't go with DRS and whinge about a decision against you? Tough shit.

 

[JJ]

Yeah, exactly...

1. Weird that people assume the correct decision if the DRS had been in effect.
2. Has Dhoni been fined? What he's said would seem worse than the on field glance of disbelief sometimes considered as dissent

 

[Pete Cash]

It's still a human controlling it. Humans can make errors. It's just there is less chance of a human getting it wrong under DRS than watching it live.

I feel pretty confident that a video umpire would have overturned the umpires error.

I think Bmac and co thought the same RE: Lyon.

It might have been a rare mistake, but it's a glaringly obvious one nonetheless. Having said that, I'd rather play with the DRS than without it.

 

[The Charlatan]

Dhoni is salty because his poor bowling rotation and field settings ultimately cost him the game. True to his colours he deflects blame because he is a worthless captain and suffers from the same brain explosions that infect his batting game.

And if drs had failed dhoni id have sympathy but mistakes happen. We cant expect humans to be right 100 percent of the time. Drs shows that the ball is actually hitting the stumps a lot more than we thought with lbws for example. Humans make errors of judgement all the time. Without errors in judgement cricket would be a completely different game because batsmen would score huge amounts of runs.

The umpire made a boo boo but with drs there are much lower chances of a second boo boo. Sure it happens with lyon or khawaja in the ashes a few years ago but the risk of error is greatly reduced.

What hurt nz was the complete meltdown bmac had in the field afterwards. He lost the plot with his captaincy. Another error of judgement. Everyone at home would have been saying crikey bmac why are you still bowling spin but he obviously thought it was most likely to get a wicket.

That said the kiwis being butthurt still like a month later is pretty sad.

"Crikey". What do you call this then?

when you say kiwi butthurt you're referring to what, posters raising a legitimate issue, or players sooking?

The latter never happened, to his credit McCullum has not blamed anyone for his poor moves at Adelaide nor at Lords - he legitimately said the DRS was a poor decision... quite unlike Dhoni's petulant whining here, and indeed Clarke's after the Ashes
