Funds are no excuse at this point. BCCI is billionaire multiple times over. If it is going to take time to implement DRS at so many venues across India, at least have it from quarter finals onwards (effective 2019-2020 season). Then from the next year use DRS at all venues. High time at least partial implementation of DRS needs to happen next season Link to comment

And they'd be idiots for doing so. A batsman has every right to not walk off if the umpire gives him not out. The question remains though for those who think Pujara should've walked, would they want Kohli to do the same if he was in a similar situation in a WC Final?

kirkutfan Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 2 hours ago, Cricketics said: I do. People do. Pujara would have walked where technology was present. He took advantage of technology not being present. As simple as that. If snico and all were there, he would have walked in a hurry. He just took advantage of the situation. Yes, but if a fielding side appeals and gets an "out" call for a guy who wasn't out, they don't call the batsman back. So, if you have an honours system, it should be all round. Otherwise just let the umpires do their job and hope that over time the "bad" decisions even out. Link to comment

Bad luck getting negated by good luck is not the right way to decision making or umpiring. DRS should be used to avoid partiality and umpiring errors. Link to comment
CSK Fan Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I still remember India making a big deal about Symonds not walking and talking about spirit of the game Stan AF 1 Link to comment

kruiser Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 52 minutes ago, Pollack said: Not walking off is cheating. Just because it's been so common doesn't make it right. The only thing you can say is you cannot crucify Pujara alone for not walking off since it's hypocritical to do so. Disagree. You are out only when the Ump says so. You are disrespecting the laws of the game if you ignore the umpire's decision. Taking the same example, if the batsman knew he is not out, and the ump gave him out, in absence of DRS should the batter argue with Umpire? The answer is no in both cases. you may be a "noble" person if you voluntariliy walk out, but you are not a cheater for following umpire's directions. diehardpacer 1 Link to comment
Clarke Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Lol what ? Why should he walk ? Does every other batsman in Ranji walk ? He's supposed to be the doodh ka dhula ? What fatichar logic! Bring the ire on BCCI for not having DRS in Ranji. diehardpacer 1 Link to comment

Clarke Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 21 minutes ago, Kannadiga said: It seems Pujara was let off in the first innings as well as he gloved and wasn't given out by the same umpire. No wonder crowd called him a cheater. I am surprised to see so many people watch these games. They deserve better experience than this third rated game. Lokesh Rahul should try and score some runs in such third rate games Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 1 hour ago, Pollack said: The question is not whether Pujara did the right thing because he didn't. The question is whether fans were right in calling him out. And I think you cannot fault the fans here. Pujara is not the first person to not walk off. He won't be last. But at the end of the day it's not in the spirit of the game. And if fans are unhappy you cannot really fault fans here. Then we have some ridiculous justification given here : Like he just win a series for India. So what? This is Karnataka vs Saurashtra. I am sure same set of fans will cheer for Cheteswar once he dons Indian jersey. Then Tendulkar did not uphold the spirit of the game. Many great did not uphold the spirit of the game. Walkers are rare. Even Gilly started walking after some time. Some fans may be unhappy. Some fans will be happy. Many don't walk because they are not sure if they touched. diehardpacer 1 Link to comment

Why do you think no one buys Pujara in the IPL? Pujara or Ishant's contributions for India will be cherished, even if they don't get an IPL contract and play a single format. Link to comment

Even the great Gundappa Viswanath who always walked did not walk in one instance as the team was in precarious position. diehardpacer 1 Link to comment
