1st Test - Australia v India at Melbourne Dec 26-30, 2011

Hussey should refuse to leave his hotel room for the rest of the Summer, except CA might not mind.

 

[Twizzle]

you cant blame India for appealing, they didn't make the decision

I can see why they didn't want the DRS tho, hope it goes both ways.

 

[skeepe]

That decision is exactly the type of shocker that DRS was designed to eradicate.

You can if they knew it wasn't out. And it's pretty clear they did.

 

[Matt23]

Why? Because the cheating Indians appealed for something that wasn't out knowing there was no chance of a review because they're a bunch of merkins?

No because he can longer relied upon, and am I only the only thats sick of our middle order falling like dominoes, oh and f**k the BCCI

 

[Pete Cash]

That was one of the worst decisions I can remember in the neutral umpire era.

 

[Twizzle]

its not clear at all as evidenced by the umpire's decision

he thought Hussey hit it

Our middle order aren't falling like dominoes though. If DRS was in, we would have lost 4 wickets all day. How is that "falling like dominoes"?

If Dhoni didn't know he missed it he's f**king blind.

 

[Bazal]

Lol at the conspiracy theories being thrown up. The Umpire made a mistake, simple as that. They have been making them for 130 years. India will get a shocking decision as well, just wait and see. Test Cricket always manages to level out the shocking decision over a period of time.

As much as it could even out next ball, it was a shit decision and that's what DRS is for. It's not a conspiracy theory to suggest that India are the powering force behind world cricket at the moment, it's simply a fact. England have been, and Australia have been at various stages. The only problem with that is the corruptness of sub continental cricket in general. The problem here is that India have made a decision that seemingly benefits no one. Why have they first pushed the rule change and then opted out of the DRS? It doesn't make sense...we've suffered the first blow as a result of it, and they will no doubt suffer their own. It hurts both teams just for what seems a vindictive wish to not have your opposition reviewing poor decisions...

 

[The Joker]

Cowan's gone now

 

[Timbo]

There goes Cowan.

The Aussie Collapso's strike again.

 

[skeepe]

He didn't hit that either.

 

[Twizzle]

Cowan gone

 

[Matt23]

Justin Langer can f**k off too

 

[chrisD]

It wasn't as bad as Symonds not out, but it's up there, I remember Martyn smashing one into his leg and given LBW, was about on par with that for second.

 

[skeepe]

I'd like to see hotspot on Cowan's wicket, I'm convinced he missed it.

 

[Bazal]

He didn't hit that either.

Lol. Same old rubbish

 

[Timbo]

Hangon, did Cowan hit that?

 

[Timbo]

For once I'm with skeepe - I don't know if Cowan hit that?
