or maybe its the umpires too... but Australia never get bad decisions against them so it can't be thatHurriflatch said:yeah sure it's the pitches fault
maybe certain members of this Australian team are just over rated
or maybe just maybe India are actually a very good team
Bazal said:Bloody hell we're good at getting ourselves out...and can I just say how much I hate that you can be stumped off a wide? FFS if the ball is called wide because it gives you no chance of hitting it, how is it that you can be out off a ball you have no chance of defending? Anyways....India by 11 wickets...:evil:

Nah, I like that rule. Gotta have something in there to stop batsmen coming down the pitch against the spinners.Bazal said:and can I just say how much I hate that you can be stumped off a wide?

But by the same token he gives away a run if the batsman is good enough to pick it and get back in his ground. There is risk and reward.Bazal said:If the spinner was good enough he wouldn't need to fire it down leg to be honest...I just think it's a silly rule when the entire reason for a wide is because the batsman has no chance of hitting it...

and generally the bowler gives away a run and has to bowl it again, so it isn't as if he can bowl them all dayBazal said:That may be true, but generally it's too wide for the man with the bat to do too much about it...
