Someone needs to do something about Tony Greig

[phaedrus]

siddle bowled a no ball. its his fault and no one else's, no matter how much greig whines

[Bradman99]

Just to make it clear, I don't think India are at fault here whatsoever. They have the option not to use the DRS and they chose not to, for whatever reason I'm not sure. But the umpires are using this no-ball system to help assist them with their umpiring. How is that any different to a caught behind or an lbw? I think either they have the technology to assist umpires or they don't have it at all. In my opinion, they should definately have it. However, the system should be adjusted so that it is not used as a tactical ploy by players, but rather by umpires with decisions they are unsure of.

i gotta say, this is the FIRST time i am hearing about this in the DRS discussion. as far as i am aware, umpires were always at liberty to check with either the players or 3rd ump at THEIR OWN DISCRETION to review stuff they werent sure about. am i wrong?? the system we are currently using is the ssme one used in 2007/08 and earlier on. so whats with the whining? Australia got the benefit of the doubt when zaheer got a wicket, india got it when siddle got a wicket off a no ball. WHY IS THIS BEING BROUGHT UP WHEN UMPIRES HAVE TREATED BOTH SIDES FAIRLY??

[King Tendulkar]

All auusie comm team are idiotsts. particularly Healy and Slater. Only fair minded one amongst them is Lawry

[SachDan]

^ and Mark Taylor to an extend

[ganeshran]

Umpire is free to reivew decisions on their discretion, just like stumpings and run outs. The DRS is a review system where the players are allowed to initiate the review. Like Manny said, the no ball debate is moot to the DRS discussion, and brought in by Trollin' Greig to just express some of his **** opinions

[King Tendulkar]

And bloody hell what a massive jinx attempt on Sachin by Greig

[Bradman99]

Fair call, I was probably just frustrated by the turn of events. PS: I did not see the Zak dismissal, didn't watch the 1st session.

Yup commentators curse big time. Although I must say some of it was coming from the admiration they have of the champion player.

I am so glad to be watching Sky Sports stream...channel 9 commentators are much better than what you get on Star. Yeah sometimes Greig goes a little OTT but I can't stand the cliches from the Indian commies. And really I don't believe in this jinxing nonsense... :dontknow:

Some of his tweets were hilarious lately. like "N srinivasan is the worst thing ever happened to cricket" and "Big Bash is the best T20 league , you get a feeling that it's every game is legitimate " ....:hysterical: making himself look like a turd as everyone knows the reason behind it.

yes but none from him, I could almost visualize the smirk on his face when he was shouting about that hundred and how Indians all across India would celebrate blah blah. Other commentators were genuine in their praise I felt.

The baldie is a Sri Lanka tourism ambassador!:hehe: Talk about them deserving each other, sometimes the lankans stretch themselves too far.

Agree with this to some extent. Commentary on Star Cricket is non sense. Ganguly is good but if he gets stuck on a point, another 30 minutes will go by discussing Sehwag's greatness. On Channel 9 team, yes they are no good. Australians I know personally hate them.

[Cricket Tragic]

I hate Channel 9. Benaud is a class apart, Lawry is decent and Mark Nicholas was alright before he become an Aussie **** licker. The newer lot (Slats, Healy, Tubby etc) are terrible. :facepalm:

[peterparker]

arun lal is way better than this sri lankan ambassador..

[peterparker]

i thought that mark taylor was a neutral commentator

[peterparker]

if DRS costs india the series, why should use it then? 2008 india-sl series was perfect example..even though india had won a test match there despite being subject to the cheatings done by sri lanka by putting this drs referall system in place

[Number]

Tendulkar’s 100th 100 a certainty and what a place to do it. 1st Test played at MCG as well as 1st ODI

3 hrs ago.

Did I jinx him...if so sorry

2 hrs ago. @greigtalks :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

[zep1706]

just ignore him, he's trying to be the Michael Vaughan of this tour. There is more to come. I was thinking of giving him a real stick on twitter but then realized that is exactly what he wants, so decided against it.
