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

[no name]

Shut up Healy, saying Dhoni only goes up when sure, he was going bananas on day 1, with those 2 non hits.

 

[Twizzle]

shot Huss

 

[Fast Eddie]

These umpires/India have helped Hussey hold his career for a while longer. Two LBWs not given out, a caught behind not given ount, Dravid dropping him.

And lol at those classic catches, Michael Clarke taking a regulation slip catch is a classic catch apperantly.

 

[SharkShocked]

This entire summer is going to be marred by poor decisions and Indias refusal to accept technology that clearly should be in place.

Neither team should be accused of cheating or failing to walk etc etc because they may as well leave all the blame squarely at the umpires decisions, exactly how the game used to be played since it's inception.

However - can someone tell that f**king Muppet Healy to stop giving the umpires credit for an incorrect call by labelling it 'Good'.

If a call is incorrect it is not a GOOD call... it may have been a TOUGH call that was given benefit of the doubt. BUT IT CERTAINLY IS NOT A GOOD CALL.

Bloke is a f**king moron.

 

[Twizzle]

they didn't do him any favours in the first innings

 

[hineyrulz]

You reap what you sow India.

 

[Moffo]

[hineyrulz]

[umina panther]

[Moffo]

Hussey out 3 times in a half hour...FMD

 

[Twizzle]

Huss gorne, that ball did heaps

 

[Fast Eddie]

Haha Hussey finally. Can't say that innings was all that impressive despite scoring 89. Quite tough conditions though.

 

[aussies1st]

Great hundred huh Heals?

 

[Panther_Daz]

Lol to those who were coming up with all that conspiracy theory crap after Day One. Told you the bad decisions will go close to evening itself out over the course of the Match. Human error has been a part of the sport since it began.

Yes the DRS would have eradicated most of the errors, but those who were saying India are cheats and the ICC want India to win are wrong.

Hussey out 3 times in a half hour...FMD

once actually

That's what happens when the segment is based almost entirely on the previous test match... not much material to choose from.

I'm sure going back 15-20 years or so, the competition was the same catches for the entire summer and were catches from the previous summer. And the prize was a Sidchrome tool kit.

 

[Dutchy]

Damn, Huss out. Well, he end up being Australias highest test run scorer for 2011, unless one of these can smash a 670+ score.

LMAO those classic catches always crack me up. They just grab any old aussie catch and chuck it in there lol.

Fully agree. It shouldn't be a countries board that makes the decision on whether DRS is used. It also shouldn't be the up to the ICC because their governorship is biased by political blocs. It should be implemented by the special committee that Taylor et al are on.

Interestingly, often what goes around comes around. Hussey got a shocker in the first innings. But he basically had what four cracks at it in the second innings.
