Absence of review system hurt us - Sangakkara

[king2be98]

I think India would still have won the series comfortably, but the size of the defeats would have been much smaller had the review system been in place.

What was his reaction when Sachin was wrongly given out 3 times in a row in ODI series against lanka. This was Tendulkar's reaction..

For the third time in a row, Sachin Tendulkar was done in by poor umpiring in the current one-day cricket series against Sri Lanka, being declared leg before wicket in yet another dubious decision. Tendulkar was declared leg-before in the first ODI in Dambulla when the ball was clearly pitched outside the leg stump, he fell LBW against in the second ODI when the ball was missing the leg stump and was again ruled out leg-before by Sri Lankan umpire Gamini Silva when the ball was going down the leg side by an even wider margin. The three umpiring errors have meant that Tendulkar has made scores of 5, 6 and 7 in the series so far. True to his character, Tendulkar has not shown any dissent although his disappointment was palpable. India's coach Gary Kirsten was seen shaking his head in disbelief after watching television replays of Tendulkar's dismissal in the dressing room.

Well...If you think neutral, Sanga has every reason to whine more so because Lanka affected more from dubious decisions. I didn't understand why BCCI and our players didn't want a system which could minimize the umpiring errors. Of course India was far a superior side, this would've been more sweeter if we accepted a system which is being used in all other matches currently.

rankings don't mean much to me' date=' we just need to win every match. win is a win and a loss is a loss. a loss can't be tempered by being number 1 and a win can't be tempered by being number 10.[/quote'] Then you must be pretty close to Mars by now because we have not lost a match for 1.5 years now.

Well agree with sanga that we do need the review system. We will regret not having the review system when we play aussies, as umpires naturally favour them

And they have not complained about favourable umpiring towards India before ? Not stated directly but implied directly, no ? So, whats the reason to take the moral high ground ?

I wonder how many minutes of this series you watched live on TV. In all 3 tests, I can count at least 10 plumb LBWs against the lankan batsmen which were given not out. Sangakkara is right. Absence of a review system robbed us of a chance to whitewash the lankans 3-0 and gain more rating points.

[goose]

A tacit admission of of the referral system playing a big role in their home 2-1 win over India.

[ViruRulez]

Whine Sanga baby.. we also got a few decisions against us in the match .. even if they had got 1000 review systems in place yet there was no chance they could have won any of the matches.. anyways let him whine :giggle:
