The Outsider Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Was he afraid of getting humiliated further by Harbhajan like Tendulkar was against Akhtar at Faislabad?
Ram Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 I dont get it, why would he hang around in the first place ? That was a clear edge off the bat and it was quite clearly out, not even bat-pad. Why would he hang around ?
The Outsider Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 Try telling that to some of our resident posters here that Tendulkar at Faislabad also clearly nicked it and walked and was accused of running away from fighting it out.
Ram Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Try telling that to some of our resident posters here that Tendulkar at Faislabad also clearly nicked it and walked and was accused of running away from fighting it out. Really ? Who would be dumb enough to say that ?
The Outsider Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 I hope they make their way to this thread.
Mr. Wicket Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Change the title to something about Tendulkar walking (perhaps from the previous test), and they will.
varun Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 lol, good point given the standard of umpiring. Heck I might wait for the umpire's decision even if i got bowled :haha:
Anakin Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Really ? Who would be dumb enough to say that ?So you agree those who said it are dumb?
Anakin Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Was he afraid of getting humiliated further by Harbhajan like Tendulkar was against Akhtar at Faislabad?Nice angle there shwetabh bhai, I remember it all too well :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: And for a second I thought the exact same thing but the reason was mr steve wonder bucknor looked quite unmoved by the appeal, and if I was ponting I would've stood my ground.
The Outsider Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 Stevie Wonder would have thought it came off the helmet. But that's besides the point. I have no problem with performance based criticism of anyone, but the manner in which Tendulkar was vilified was disgusting.
Ram Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 So you agree those who said it are dumb? Why you even asking me ? Of course they must be brilliantly dumb !
Bumper Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Muwahaha, nice try, but your example is far off! Tendulkar in that instance was not out & he was not a walker, who walked unusually, hence i made that comment. If you do not believe, read this piece on cricinfo: http://content-www.cricinfo.com/wivzimsa/content/story/234769.html Moin wrote in a columnn for Press Trust of India that he believed Tendulkar's decision to walk when he was technically not out was a signal that the end of his career was approaching. Not sure you saw any of the replays (which showed enough doubts on the supposed gloving the ball). In this instance, the only doubt about the dismissal, was whether lunch would be taken right after.
The Outsider Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 Yeah and Tendulkar knew in a millisecond that his glove was off the handle. Carry on, Bumper!!
Bumper Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Dont sidestep the point. One was not out & the other was OUT. How hard is it to fathom that ? If its hard to recall that in a fraction of a sec, wouldnt it make more sense to stand the ground ?
The Outsider Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 Gilchrist was not out against Murtaza but walked. Was he also afraid of facing Murtaza?
Bumper Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Gilchrist was not out against Murtaza but walked. Was he also afraid of facing Murtaza? Gilly & Murtaza :haha:, what happened to Ponting now ? The example is not of much use anymore, eh :hysterical:
donkey Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 some1 please post video of bhajji's celebration.....i was at work ..missed it
The Outsider Posted January 5, 2008 Author Posted January 5, 2008 Gilly & Murtaza :haha:' date=' what happened to Ponting now ? The example is not of much use anymore, eh :hysterical:[/quote'] Of course it is. When a batsman knows and thinks it's obvious he usually walks, like Tendulkar and Ponting did. Looking at super slow motion and picking out that Tendulkar's glove was off the handle of the bat for a few milliseconds doesn't change the batsman's perception.
Bumper Posted January 5, 2008 Posted January 5, 2008 Alright, i'll try one last time & see if i make more headway. Punter had no hope in hell of being saved by the umpire. He hit it, the batsman, the catcher, the bowler, the keeper were all swarming like bees right away. Everyone knew it. Tendulkar's dismissal wasnt that straight fwd. Only the cheat (Akhtar) & his accomplice (Akmal) tried to create a drama to influence the umpire, while the umpire was standing there, trying to guage what happened. SRT could have stood his ground (he usually does in such circumstances) & BOD would have gone to him. Your quote in this very thread, suggests that you seemed to be under the impression that Tendulkar was out, in that instance, which wasnt the case. Try telling that to some of our resident posters here that Tendulkar at Faislabad also clearly nicked it and walked and was accused of running away from fighting it out. Just because your pov has the popular appeal here, does not make it right, am afraid. I suggest that you watch the replays more closely.
