GABBA 2nd Test: Australia v India Dec 17-21, 2014

[JJ]

I think it probably is worse to be honest, and when DRS is not used, they're perhaps not comfortable - so in a way India's fault. DRS should eliminate howlers, and generally does - but has resulted in some strange stuff, and then of course you get the situation where some selfish merkin like Watson uses the referrals only for someone lower down the order to get a howler and have no recourse... anyway, it is what it is

In saying that, Pujara, Dhawan and Rahane aren't likely to have been part of the decision making anyway - so I feel for them a bit, that being said it's always been part of cricket...

Who is the Brayshaw clown anyway?

 

[Wizardman]

i'm not the mong who think the Marsh brothers are Rod's sons :lol:

Where did I say that they were his sons mongoloid?

 

[Pete Cash]

I don't want to criticise smith too much in his first game but surely Johnson or haze could have pulled another over instead of feeding kohli a bowler like starc.

 

[hineyrulz]

Starc just floating them up, just can't seem to find that in-between length, he's a much better white ball bowler.

 

[Mr Angry]

It is f**king hot..

Lyon from one end, 4 over spells from the other.

Rod Marsh, your positive contributions to Australian cricket are now overshadowed by your negative contributions.

 

[jargan83]

DRS is a perfectly good system put in place to remove howlers from the game.

India refuse to use it and these are the consequences for them.
Zero sympathy.

100% this.

Don't whinge when you cop a bad decision when there is a system in place to get rid of the umpiring shocker.

 

[Mr Spock!]

Let's get rid of neutral umpires.

 

[Wizardman]

Geoff was a slow merkin, kinda like you.

 

[El Diablo]

lol

explain your Rod Marsh comment then and why you posted it right after Marsh went off injured

 

[Pete Cash]

Good over from starc there. Let's see more of it.

 

[hineyrulz]

Good over from starc there. Let's see more of it.

Much better length there, he is tall and quick he should use his height and pace much more.

Cooking with Yvonne

Good little segment that was...

[Tommy Smith]

I can't tolerate this Brayshaw merkin. In tandem with Healy it's an absolute derpfest.

I really miss Bill, Richie and Greigy.

lol What could he possibly be arguing against?

 

[jargan83]

lol What could he possibly be arguing against?

I didn't hear it 100% because I had to take a phone call from a client with the worst timing, but at one stage he said something about disrupting the flow of a game. Also mentioned something about the ball tracking technology.

He couldn't change the subject fast enough, I didn't catch the name of the Australian commentator on with him at the moment.

I like Harsha but gee f**kign whiz he is kidding himself.


Not having much luck ATM.

 

[8Ball]

Vijay riding his luck a bit at the moment.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Flight path is grossly inaccurate.

But DRS can still be used to determine whether an lbw appeal pitched & hit in line, and also to check for inside edges. And that's just lbws.

It should be used. India only have themselves to blame.
