Did Umpire Erasmus just robbed us the first test?

And it serves BCCI well. Egoistic adament ****ers.....

What makes you think BCCI gets affected by match/series results? Those thick skin fat cats are too busy in counting monies, scratching each others backs and generally suck dry their Baap, Srini....

[Yoda-esque]

No, decisions usually even out

But their thick skins and money ego won't alow them to admit their error in judgement and accept DRS.

Are Umpires from a different planet? If Kohli can do a mistake after a flawless innings, why can't the umpires? That is exactly why a certain technology was brought in called......

I'm all for mistakes. They happen but when the error count is 7 or 8-2 in one team's favor you have to stop and look.

It has always been like that in Cricket. Every now and then there are matches where many umpiring errors are there (mostly pressure and close matches where the umpiring is as much difficult as scoring runs). To minimise this only DRS was suggested in the first place. Weren't we the ones crying all day long back in 2008 after the Sydney fiasco?/ So why no DRS and trusting the umpires? Also, come to think of it, you are actually arguing for the case of DRS and not against it. More errors should not happen. To ensure that, DRS is there.

not really cause the howlers evened out. what cost india was the lower order. Rohit flopped, saha screwed up and the rest are worthless.

[Tridibans_16]

Why was Saha hyped up so much here? He is an OK keeper-batsman. Nothing more or nothing less.

[Lord]

You will be hard pressed to see anyone disagreeing with their employers. That's how it works. He may not agree with it privately but you will never get to know about it. Officially every Indian player has to say they support BCCI's decision.

Sachin and Sehwag have done so http://www.criclounge.com/news/38/Sehwag-calls-for-UDRS.html http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/41671/not-against-drs-sachin-tendulkar

One game. MSD coming back

[khanjee]

Decision went against both team in this match, yes couple more against India than Aus but I just wish BCCI will agree to us DRS. I mean yeah its not perfect but is there anything really perfect? Couple of these decision could have been easily reverse and who knows what the out come would have been. BCCI logic is paindoo pana

[Haarkarjeetgaye]

our foolishness of not accepting drs did

[coffee_rules]

Watched the Warner non-dismissal and Dhawan/Rahane dismissal. Before the batsman crossed the boundary line, Warner was stopped for the check of noball decision. Now the same happened with Dhawan/Rahane. Before they crossed the boundary line the howler was so evident even from the crowd reaction. What stops the third umpire to stop the player there, check the replay for a howler and recall the batsman? When they can do for one, why not do for all howlers? It is so much common sense and doable without going for DRS. This is perplexing in laws of cricket. This can work for LBWs given for blatant inside-edges.

Did Umpire Erasmus just robbed us the first test? I'm glad that VK didn't get a bad one as he was trying very hard otherwise I'm happy with what happened. Serves BCCI and indian team right. It very rarely happens that a test match doesn't have 1-2 bad decisions and since we have decided to accept that so we don't have a situation where technology could be wrong once every 4-5 tests. This is just plain stupidity and we are suffering from it. Wonder if it will take MSDs retirement as VK seems smarter

Hes also refused it:((

[Cricketics]

He still umpired decent since Indians especially Vijay wasn't using his bat much and according to new rules he could have been given out on such instances. One of them was plumb too which did not go their way and Vijay went on to add another 50extra uns from there. It could have been a big turning point that time as Aussies could have rollrd us over tht time itself. So

Here we go again. Wonder which umpire will be the next on the forced retirement list after Steve Bucknor. Wasn't the famous 2001,Border-Gavaskar Trophy - 2nd Test, handed to Indians by some outrageous decisions that went India's way? No one was complaining then.

Like Gillespie not given out because of which Aus made 440 instead of 300 ?

Why bother responding to a trolling Paki?

[fineleg]

I am supporter of DRS. But with respect to 4th Inn result, it didnt matter - if Vijay had gone LBW early, then game would have changed under pressure. But yes we need DRS stupid bcci
