aussiefan Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 You CANNOT save a test against the #1 team in the world with the umps screwing you around from all over. 3 wickets to spare with 3 overs to go? clarke is at best a part time bowler....i thought guys would have at least drawn Link to comment

yoda Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 yeah whats 3 more drops in a ocean .. :hysterical: and then there is always the facknor master strategy of extending the game into bad light and then giving them out cause he can't see. :hatsoff: Link to comment
Guest dada_rocks Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 You CANNOT save a test against the #1 team in the world with the umps screwing you around from all over.:two_thumbs_up: Precisely there is limit to screw-ups.. even in those three decision RP Singh's was dubious one going high.... it felt like they have all conspired to hand over aussie 16th victory.. Bucknor's bank account needs to be checked.. Link to comment
rkamisetty Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Lets agree to disagree and move forward. Lets see what our beloved team does in Perth. I am sure the next test will be funny. Our folks will simply 'fold' and give simple catches and get bowled. So that we don't need to blame any one. I have a feeling that we are DONE with this series. :two_thumbs_up: Precisely there is limit to screw-ups.. even in those three decision RP Singh's was dubious one going high.... it felt like they have all conspired to hand over aussie 16th victory..

raghuvir Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yuvraj and Jaffer certainly appear as weak links. Dhoni battled well on the final day and Bhajji hung in there as well. I'd have loved for these two to not have played the shots they did to get out. Bhajji especially could have forced the ball into the ground by playing with firmer hands than with soft hands. In the wake of the controversy everyone forgot that the ICC's Elite Umpire Panel not only lacks sufficient competent umpires, but also accountability. Bucknor was part of the crew that ruined the WC final in 2007. He has a history of giving wrong decisions especially against India. Decision after decision this game went against India. As South Africa, Pakistan, West Indies, and now India now say - if even 40%-50% of these decisions go in favor of the visiting team, Australia would not be the dominant team they are. The ICC has not addressed the decisions taken by the umpires in the day. If such incompetency is acceptable then it's time to start a new cricket body to be responsible for the game. If that is also not acceptable, then I need to stop following this game at the international level. Link to comment
kilroy Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 bhajji and jaffer out pathan & sehwag in. give yuvraj a chance, he's a better player of pace. Link to comment

I was commenting on sydney test.. Peth is pacers paradise and our frontline attack is mising so the result there is kind of forgone conclusion Link to comment
