varun Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Did you hear Ganguly's interview during the ACTXI match regarding Australia's attitude.. He said he admired their willingness to try and do anything to win. That's the kinda attitude we gotta have. I think we should stop taking the moral high ground as well and pressurize umpires, or whatever it takes to win !
Bumper Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Rauf got it right pretty much all day. It was almost as if he were working for India till then. Just got one wrong. Give him the BOD. He's way better than Benson & Bucknor.

varun Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 yeah sure lets start appointing umpires that tow our line .... hey whatever it takes to win ... Right ? Yeah we gotta know how to make the umpires tow our line. Meanwhile expected whining like this when just one bad decision is given by an umpire in this test against our team makes the whiner lose credibility.
Bumper Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Looks like you have long forgotten the SAF series ... 13 months ago ... :haha: I have been Bucknored.:D
varun Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 just one bad decision ? do you start counting from minus 100 ? or you suffer from memory loss :haha: in this test Tu padhta nahi hai poori line meri kabhi :P
sandtest Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I dont know as to how a human with two eyes cant see as to how high the ball was at mere 22 yards, we need to impose match fee on retard umpires who don't want to see properly It only takes 1-2 such blunders to change the course of a match and with teams like Aus and India even one is enough!! :mad:
Bumper Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Look at the no. of decisions that have been ruled in our favor: 1) Jaffar's catch off his arm guard. Bucknor would have ruled this out definitely. Benson would have asked Gilly & put his hands up 2) Jaffar's LBW (over the stumps). Bucknor would have ruled it. 3) Tendulkar's LBW clipping the bails off Symonds 4) Now Dravid's LBW (hitting the toe at full length) denied by Bowden. I think the pressure we have put on the umpires is really working!
varun Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Accha agla dekho.. Dravid was clear LBW and wasn't given. The umpiring in this test has been pretty favorable towards us, and if we're still whining, then I'm afraid that's what we'll be called.. a bunch of whiners.
Bumper Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 If we whine about everything, no one will take us seriously. Gotta show some perspective. Otherwise, even when u really need to be heard, you'll be ignored. Remember the story of the boy who cried wolf ? After a looong time, i am seeing some decent umpiring!
King Tendulkar Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 After a looong time' date=' i am seeing some decent umpiring![/quote'] Tell that to Sachin
