coffee_rules Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Top 10 Things to whine about in this match: 1. First breakthrough only in the 10th over. 2. Letting Hadding get to 50 3. Letting Ponting score a 100 4. Death Bowling to David Hussey, what's up with that? 5. Munaf bowling, fielding, etc. 6. Sehwag out again on a careless shot 7. Tendulkar out against the run of play 8. Gambhir running (Check, done already) 9. Slow batting by Kohli-Gambhir 10. Dhoni - captaincy, batting, field setting etc. Link to comment

General_Public Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Frankly I feel our success % is so low because our umpires have been generally good, hence haven't had to use our reviews on obvious howlers. This has probably resulted in Dhoni reviewing for some far-fetched appeals. In the earlier matches probably we haven't felt the need so much as today when Ponting was let off on 91. Link to comment

Gambhir running (Check, done already) 9. Slow batting by Kohli-Gambhir 10. Dhoni - captaincy, batting, field setting etc. Slow batting was needed at that stage because the required run rate was less than 6. All we needed was singles. Kohli played a really poor shot and got out and then Gambhir got run out, which put the pressure back on us. So their strategy was fine. Dhoni's captaincy was also good because of the way he shuffled his bowlers around. Ponting played a special knock and held the innings together and the runs were going to come. There's nothing he could do anything about it. Link to comment

NareshK Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 If we had lost' date=' you would have been the first person critizing the slow batting by them.[/quote'] No way. They were taking singles, which was all that was needed at that stage. I was hoping them to just get as close to the total as possible without taking risks. With wickets and power play in hand, required run rate of 7 is manageable. Link to comment

kabira Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 What a stupid thread. She does not even watch the game. The referral was against Ponting. Although it was poor referral, blame should be on Munaf, it was ponting and worth the gamble. Link to comment
urbestfriend Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I agree. Munna was to be blamed for this, he convinced Dhoni to go for review though it is going leg and height was also the factor. Please some one tell Munna that marginal decisions are not overturned so wasting DRS for marginal decisions are not on. Dhoni shouldn't go by bowlers words, he should consult other fielders to before taking a decision. Link to comment

ganeshran Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 If the ball pitches and had travelled a fair distance before impact, Hawkeye would be very accurate. I think H/E shouldnt be used when the batsman gets hit on the pads on the full. If H/E can make mistakes, umpires can make bigger mistakes too. Link to comment

Tiger80 Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Poor umpiring in 1st ODI a case for DRS India [ Images ] appeared to have been at the receiving end of poor umpiring decisions in the first ODI against the West Indies, but, in the end, they must have thanked their cricket Board which opposed the use of the Decision Review System in the series. The West Indies' innings on Monday appeared a tale of vengeance by the Caribbeans for having been browbeaten on giving up on the DRS by the BCCI, with several of their players surviving what appeared to be clear dismissals. But all these seemed neutralized, as Rohit Sharma [ Images ], who scored a match-winning 68, could have been out early in his innings had the Decision Review System been used. Ramnaresh Sarwan and Marlon Samuels appeared to have a license to survive, as, time and again, an Indian appeal for leg-before wicket against them was turned down. Leg-spinner Amit Mishra has been resigned to his fate for most part of his career, but even he was given to exasperation when twice he went up in appeal against Sarwan and on both occasions the umpire struck a statuesque pose. First, in the 22nd over, Mishra ripped one past Sarwan's defence but the umpire was unmoved. Fourteen overs apart, another one drifted down the leg side and hit Sarwan on the back-pad as he tried to sweep. Again, no luck! For a non-bowler, Suresh Raina thought he had the bowling Oscar when his fullish delivery beat Sarwan's intended flick and hit him plumb in front of stumps. No mercy, again! Not that the spinners, the nemesis of the West Indians presently, were the only marked ones. Praveen Kumar bowled a leg-cutter that cut back and headed towards the middle stump of Marlon Samuels. The umpire was unmoved again. All the replays were to show that if the UDRS was available, the Indians would have been celebrating and cutting short the West Indies innings much before they scored 214 on terribly hot day. It was not long though that the Indians also appeared to benefit from the absence of the DRS. Rohit Sharma was on 13 when leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo skidded one on to him, landing it on middle and leg and straightening. Sharma hurriedly brought his bat down but it was clear that the ball had hit the pad first and then the bat. Replays showed it was a plumb decision. Sharma went on to play a match-winning hand of 68 runs and the Indians were left thanking a board and gentleman by the name Ian Gould, who really played the role of neutral umpire to the hilt. All that went before in the day was neutralized in this manner. Source Rediff Link to comment
