Dhondy Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 Australia were not even remotely in the same strife at Sydney in 2004. Look at the fall of wickets. http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/64062.html
The Outsider Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 92/2 with 75 overs to bat and then 196/4 with 40+ overs to bat is a pretty bad situation to be in. They were not top dogs by any stretch of imagination anyhow, and yet got 2 poor and 2 marginal decisions going in their favor.
Dhondy Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 Yeah, but when did those decisions come? Go and trawl through the commentary log and come back.:hysterical:
The Outsider Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Yeah, but when did those decisions come? Go and trawl through the commentary log and come back.:hysterical: You seem to be pretty sure that they came when Australia were top dogs having to bat out 95 overs to chase 450+. Why don't you tell me?
Mr. Wicket Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 I really ought to stick to watching cricket and avoid commenting on it. It's not as if I am an authority or get paid for it. The same with everyone else here. You set up a free speech board here Doc - whole point of that is discussions and the freedom to post views that won't always be agreed with. The majority of us enjoy your writing and thoughts on the game - keep them coming, even if there is a bit of disagreement on the odd subject like this.
Chandan Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 See that's the problem- predicting this that or the other would have happened if the decisions had gone the other way. The point is that they didn't. It's an excercise in complete futility. That's where the Aussie mindset differs from us. We let ourselves boil in our own rage, they have already taken it on the chin and moved on. They blame none but themselves, we blame all others but ourselves. The magnitude of umpiring errors post-hoc is a discussion in futility- you don't control the umpires, and once the decisions have been taken, there's nothing you can do about them. Imputing motives to umpires is immature, IMO, because it reeks of throwing toys out of the pram because Mommy won't push me. Would you reconsider your post? Oh really!! I just can't remember who we blamed for the Melbourne loss! Can you remind please?!
sandtest Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 We, PC Indians are a shining example of educated elite Indian with in-bred dhimmitude. After such a fair victory, India defeating Aussies in every part of Cricket, we dhimmi Indians can find a way or two to ridicule ourselves. Sir Macaulay of British Raj will be truelly happy today after reading posts like OP, after all his efforts of Dhimmifying "elite" Indian class has been successful.....and sadly Cricket is not the only field :((
The Outsider Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 sandtest, Dhondy is an amazing contributor to the site, an intelligent cricket fan and much more, so please edit out your personal remarks against him. Many of us have criticized his post but none of us have gone personal against him.

However, being a Mod if you conclude, it's personal, I will edit ONLY FIRST LINE, which starts with OP WRITER and hence so called "personal".
The Outsider Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 ^Please do so. Will appreciate it. No objections with the rest of your post.
The Outsider Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Doc's perfectly capable of defending himself proff .... and I dont think Sandy said anything personal .... he just type casted Doc into a category. Never said Dhondy was not capable of holding his fort, but to call someone *** is out of order.
The Outsider Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 ^sandtest has made the change in his post so I'll edit out a few here.
Bumper Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 ohh really ? Since when ? :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Boss, oh puleeeze, i know where this is heading :D We dont want to digress such a fine thread, into that territory.
Anakin Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Here we go again. Umpires made errors against BOTH teams. I guess a simple concept is sometimes too much for some people.
