It was from BCCI who is against DRS.. ICFers will say its was Dhoni+Srini said no to DRS...Now both gone, Let's see if they say yes to DRS in Bangladesh series. "You'll have to wait and watch and see. Still I don't like it (DRS). Two wickets gone, one of Kevin Pietersen, the other of Mahela Jayawardene, so there's no good reason why I should like it," said Dhoni. There are many more such articles.

HippoSucks Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 What's the point of posting this links? Yeah he sucks when pitch doesn't favor him. Maybe i should have added more info.. Smith likes to play against MI @ Mumbai very much it seems.. Scored 50+ last year also Dwayne Smith averages 31 against MI with an SR of 128 http://www.howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/IPL/PlayerOpponents.asp?PlayerID=3157 He averages 28 in Wankhede Stadium. http://www.howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/IPL/PlayerGrounds.asp?PlayerID=3157 Anyway this is all irrelevant. By past trends you can't predict a person's performance on a particular day due to a lot of qualitative factors.
velu Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Anyway this is all irrelevant. By past trends you can't predict a person's performance on a particular day due to a lot of qualitative factors. so you agree that its a bad decision to give smith LBW:two_thumbs_up:
G_B_ Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 http://www.espncricinfo.com/indian-premier-league-2015/engine/match/829729.html Smith scored 62 from 30 balls last time with baz and contribution from Raina so we won.. Dhoni as usual :fail: so? that was a long time ago. Based on the first over he faced v Maligna he was all at sea even before his wicket. Mising a full toss itself should tell you how out of touch he was
SLICKR392 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Ideally you shouldn't be making such comments at any time. But why in an IPL game? Many times wrong decisions have been made in bigger tournaments (Champion's Trophy, ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup etc) and Dhoni never made such statements at that time IIRC. So it is a valid concern that he is getting more worked up in an IPL match than those most valuable tournaments. And he's won the WC, T20 WC and the CT, so I really don't give a flying jack he says something or not. As long as India are doing well in those 'valuable' tourneys, which they are, I don't give a hoot.
HippoSucks Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 He doesn't like it that doesn't he said no to it.. It was from BCCI who is against DRS.. ICFers will say its was Dhoni+Srini said no to DRS...Now both gone, Let's see if they say yes to DRS in Bangladesh series. I'm not saying that Dhoni himself refused DRS. However, if he doesn't like DRS, why would he publicly call out and blame the human errors made by umpires? Either you deal with the decisions or adopt DRS (or at least support it). You can't say that I don't like DRS but I want umpires who have in built hawk eye vision and never make mistakes.
velu Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 so? that was a long time ago. Based on the first over he faced v Maligna he was all at sea even before his wicket. Mising a full toss itself should tell you how out of touch he was he does take his time .. probably he was asked to negotiate malinga .. bad decision is a bad decision ..
HippoSucks Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 so you agree that its a bad decision to give smith LBW:two_thumbs_up: Of course it is. That was one of the most atrocious decisions I've seen. But attributing that as a major factor for the loss is ridiculous. Also saying that the umpires were bought is stupid. They made a genuine mistake. Time to move on.

Dhoni is irrelevant here .. he might just say what he was asked to say
SLICKR392 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Of course it is. That was one of the most atrocious decisions I've seen. But attributing that as a major factor for the loss is ridiculous. Also saying that the umpires were bought is stupid. They made a genuine mistake. Time to move on. Smith sometimes goes tuk tuk, so like Geebz said, CSK might have had suffered a worse loss. Smith wouldn't have done jack

Also saying that the umpires were bought is stupid. They made a genuine mistake. Time to move on. no one is serious when they say umpires are bought .. this is IPL section and dedicated for trolling :weights:
G_B_ Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 no one is serious when they say umpires are bought .. this is IPL section and dedicated for trolling :weights: be honest velu you are serious right

velu Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 be honest velu you are serious right bambis buy trophies .. csk play fair and win trophies.. :two_thumbs_up:
Lannister Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 And he's won the WC' date=' T20 WC and the CT, so I really don't give a flying jack he says something or not. As long as India are doing well in those 'valuable' tourneys, which they are, I don't give a hoot.[/quote'] No he didn't won, his teammates have won it for him. If it's not for his captaincy he would've kicked out a long time ago.
SLICKR392 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 No he didn't won' date=' his teammates have won it for him. If it's not for his captaincy he would've kicked out a long time ago.[/quote'] Well, no sh!t, Holmes! I meant hypothetically. If you haven't got the sense to figure that out, then my bad.
SLICKR392 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Dhoni was right to come out and say that That was the worst decision in IPL history Clear case of umpires being paid under the table by the mafias :hysterical::finger: Smith knows the Wankhede patta pitch well and would have definitely won the game for :csk: Don't forget his best innings this season was against this mafias team in this very pitch Yeah, but at the end of the day you got ROYALLY BUTT-THRASHED!
vvvslaxman Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 In IPL all get serious. Dravid was also furious during Watson incident. It is a different matter Dravid got pumped up even in a Ranji Trophy match. Amount of time he deliberated was the most shocking part lol. Almost instantly raised
Rajiv Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 Why? Just because you lot can't take it? Glad he said that as the umpiring was utter rubbish and I really din't care which team won, both are annoying af along with their fans. And he has protested against the Umpires in Int. matches, one occasion being when the Umpire pressed the wrong button, just that you deluded lot can't see it. Fanboys FFS!!! As far the fair play award goes, it's been obviously rigged in CSK's favor. I remember Jadeja acting like a **** couple of times and yet these guys manage to top that pointless table. Irony seeing the outburst over an IPL game! Lol Stopped reading after You Lot :hatsoff: Have a good one, don't even know or remember your username
SLICKR392 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Stopped reading after You Lot :hatsoff: Have a good one, don't even know or remember your username Wow! What a cliche' response. And I'm not getting personal here, you don't have to either by going after my username or whatever.
