Let's talk about the DRS

[Lord]

Brilliant. Just exactly what I wanted. I hope they repeat this in the next match also.

It will be now :D .... sooner or later. BFD if we have to lose a few meaningless ODIs for it

not about us loosing it but because of lifeless *******s like sangakarra and his teammates who appeal excessively out of no where such guys would surely ensure udrs is brought up asap

[Lord]

before UDRS,they have to make two neutral umpires to officiate.cant stand biased people like Dharmasena

[sudheer kumar]

Why referee did not took any action on Sangakkara and his teammates on over appealing? If there is Indian players referee will take a serious action like suspending one or two matches. I think only one team played with sportive spirit in last match.

Now with this match lost we cant even comment on the standards or poor umpiring... because that would flare up the likes of pangakara and jaya aunty.... they would say that indians dont know how to take things in their strides when they lose.... and that dharamasena , has always been a biased SL umpire.... I remember his very first decision against sach was a wrong one... dont know who made him a fecking umpire.....

[Texy]

Dharmasena raised his finger no longer than 1.5 secs after the bowler appealed....it's as if he made up his mind even before the ball was to be bowled

Sanga won't blame umpries Kumar Sangakkara was in no mood to implicate the umpires for their dodgy decisions against Indian batsmen.

The Sri Lankan skipper said India should have agreed to the use Decision Review System to have a level playing field. India were at the receiving end of at least four dodgy decisions with Virender Sehwag, Dinesh Karthik, Suresh Raina and Yuvraj Singh being the unlucky batsmen though they lost comprehensively by eight wickets. Three dodgy decisions came from local umpire Kumar Dharmasena while one -- that of Yuvraj -- was from Pakistani Asad Rauf. "Even before the Test series we have been for DRS and the only reason I believe why we did not have referral system throughout the Test series and through this series was because India did not want DRS," Sangakkara said at the post-match press conference when asked about the bad decisions. "Well, sometimes decisions work for you and sometimes they are against you. But if everything has to be fair use technology. Make it even," he said. "The ICC should make technology compulsory now because if some sides are using it and some series we are playing without technology I don't think that is right. Everyone should use technology. If it is a must," he added. Meanwhile, Man-of-the-Match Thisara Perera who scalped five wickets for just 28 runs to bundle India out for a paltry 103, was happy with his performance today but said that the final would be a totally different ballgame. "I can play in any country. I have been given a chance to play against India. The performance against India has been good and hopefully I will continue with this in future. (The win) is a good preparation but it is a new game. Six days to go. So sides who lose like this can come out of it," he said. "But the best win I have had against India was in Sharjah very early in my career. I think we got 299 and India were 54 all out I think. So that was a great win. And that was a great side that we had," he added. Perera has no doubt that today's comprehensive win would certainly boost their confidence before the August 28 summit clash. "With this particular side with some of greats retired and who are not playing any more I think it is also great for our confidence to know that we can still do things like this. But the key is to win the matches consistently," he said. "We have no preference on whom to play in the finals. If you start talking about the preferences I think mentally again we are trying to align ourselves one way. In cricket you ultimately do the hard things and win gives you lot more satisfaction. "Both sides are playing very good cricket. We would like to play better cricket than both sides and win in the final," he added.

Why would he? He wanted the URDS system but we didn't and most of the wrong decisions favored them. Ofcourse, we have to forget that competent umpires wouldn't have had so many bad decisions, but then again, there aren't many competent umpires around.

[vamos_rafa]

These SL players.. they perform for a match or two and they talk as if they are world beaters.... look at the kind od statements perera has made.... "I can play in any country"..... and i did now know he is being playing since 1999 when we got AO for 54....

[Roshanrocks]

why wud he play the blame game? his team won.. he wud do it only if he had lost, same with any other captain.

[Desi Cartman]

Its gonna be one epic final .. provided we qualify :D

[vamos_rafa]

^ yeah like the cb series final.... so many heated arguements going on right through the series ... should be fun....

[sudheer kumar]

India need to beat Kiwis and Enter into final. If Indian in final.......no doubt........Sangakkara will be scared.

[FairCricket]

both umpires look pressurized in that match , cuz of the things happens before the match i think , both teams go hard at each other

[kabira]

Thats what I wanted even in Test matches. If we lose, we lose with few dodgy decisions, that will wake up our guys.

[diegovegaz]

one or two odd wrong decisions every five games or so is still acceptable but this is crossing the line there should be a formal complaint against the umps

[Hell Raiser]

I really wish that we had our full strength team here, i don't even remember when was the last time we played our first choice players against these lankans.
