BeautifulGame Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Can anyone defend the refusal by 3rd umpire to give no ball for Dhoni's dismissal anything other than blatant cheating . Pathetic stuff . You play 5 days of hard cricket and then get robbed because on blatant cheating .
FischerTal Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 ridiculous decision, but we werent going to win it anyway. dumb jadeja and kohli brainfarts cost us the match
nevada Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Bad decision but who can say with certainty that Dhoni wouldn't have got out in the next few deliveries? After jaddu left he was tentative and paid the price for it.
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 could have been the bulge over his shoe. relax
CSK Fan Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 How is it blatant when it was so, so close? At worse a 50 50 call
vvvslaxman Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Most of the balls he bowls are noballs. Much like Steven Finn they should have been strict about it.
beetle Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Dhoni didn't look like he would have taken us home anyways...A few overs down...he was gone. 40 runs is not that small.
Ultimate_Game Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 It happens. It sure looked like a no-ball like most of Wagner's round the wkt deliveries but it's up to 3rd umpire.
vvvslaxman Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 How is it blatant when it was so' date=' so close? At worse a 50 50 call[/quote'] They discussed about it even in WI series. He very often touches the line.
BeautifulGame Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 How is it blatant when it was so' date=' so close? At worse a 50 50 call[/quote'] How is it 50/50? His foot touched the wide crease clear cut. Rules says if foot touches the width crease its no ball? 3rd umpire has slow mos to see the dismissal. So how exactly is it 50/50 ?
zep1706 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Kohli's poor shot changed the match. India were cruising at that point. He looked impatient after lunch.
vvvslaxman Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 True there is no 50/50 in noball. Not even an inch you are allowed to touch.
zep1706 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 He is touching it for me but I won't call it the deciding factor.
BeautifulGame Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 Bad decision but who can say with certainty that Dhoni wouldn't have got out in the next few deliveries? After jaddu left he was tentative and paid the price for it. Whether we would have won is secondary. How can 3rd simply refuse to apply rules of cricket?
bharat297 Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 There was nothing blatant about it. There was no clear evidence his back foot touched the line. Fair call. End of story. Well played NZ
IndianRenegade Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 The thing that struck me was he saw the replay like for a 3 -4 seconds... didn't even see the zoom in that was shown latter... so the umpire is saying that there is no doubt in his mind which is not digestible... because the replays shows there is so much doubt and the benefit of doubt should have gone to the batsmen as it usually happens...
BeautifulGame Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 There was nothing blatant about it. There was no clear evidence his back foot touched the line. Fair call. End of story. Well played NZ Yeah it was just illusion that the back foot landing on the crease was. The kiwi commentators must be dreaming to mention it repeatedly
IndianRenegade Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 There was nothing blatant about it. There was no clear evidence his back foot touched the line. Fair call. End of story. Well played NZ Nor is there clear evidence that it didn't... so who gets the benefit of doubt?
thecricketer Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 When you allow your opposition to score 500 + in the first innings, you don't deserve to win. But still you had your chances but thrown away
