SCG 4th Test: Australia v India on Jan 6-10, 2015

[Twizzle]

how could they give they out, BOD goes to the batsman, bad call imo

fmd, we have these replays to get rid of the howlers

 

[Tommy Smith]

THAT IS A f**kING DISGRACE.

These merkins make the video refs in the NRL look like geniuses.

That is flat out the worst call I've ever seen.

 

[JJ]

This is such a low quality test match.

The only good it is doing for anyone is boosting a few batting averages.

spot on

 

[BunniesMan]

Haha that's an awful decision. Proving the Indians point. Technology doesn't stop awful decisions from happening.

Yep this.

Nicholas always knew his game inside and out, his problem is that he really lays it on thick with his wild superlatives.

... what's that about metatarsals!?

The proper name for some kind of bone. Healy gets a hardon using his scientific words when describing injuries.

 

[JJ]

that didn't happen, surely

.

you made sense twice

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Do they provide explanations for those type of dismissals where it is referred by the umpire? Be interesting to hear what they thought as pics clearly show it it squeezing into the pitch.

Oh well Lyon gets some luck

 

[tomdl]

You can clearly seen the ball on the pitch behind the bat from every single angle. That is ridiculous

 

[andrew057]

Wow that's clearly not out. On the previous angle you could clearly see he hit it in to the ground.

 

[Meth]

In actual fact, technology prompted (not prevented) a howler

 

[BunniesMan]

The ball bounced on the crease. The ball went past the bat infront of the crease. Not out every day of the week.

 

[madunit]

absurd decision.

top decision

 

[Tommy Smith]

that didn't happen, surely

It can't have. Tell me I'm seeing things.

I can't believe there are video umpires at this level who can come up with such howlers.

The Indians are right about DRS. How many shockers did we see from them in both Ashes series in 2013?

Get rid of it for good.

 

[BunniesMan]

Exactly. No way Kettleborough gives that by himself. But with enough replays some bloke in a room can talk himself into anything.

 

[Meth]

I'm all for India getting the raw end of decisions that would have otherwise been overturned by DRS. But surely using technology to stiff them is not in the games' best interest

Just proves them right - might end up with no DRS at all before long if these f**kwits do this shit

 

[El Diablo]

excellent decision

 

[vvvrulz]

Cricinfo commentator seems to be ok with it

 

[BunniesMan]

I'm over DRS. I have enjoyed cricket where it climaxes properly. Where players can celebrate properly instead of it all being delayed with a referral and than even if you get the same result it just isn't the same.

I can live with a few mistakes. DRS did not help fix every mistake in the Ashes, it even caused some shockers. It isn't necessary. Watching cricket without DRS is more enjoyable.
