New Zealand Tour of India 2021 (3 T20's and 2 Tests)

[The hands of stone]

My only rationale for why he gave it out was because it struck so low on the pad. It was difficult to gauge how much the ball was spinning. On replay though, wow. Missing leg stump by a long way. And I wonder is that why the non striker was also so slow/hesitant to say “you gotta review that”.

Yep terrible all round . Latham may not have had a great view though as he would have been standing off the pitch on legside.

Ump got sucked in with the ball shooting through and Young planting his front foot straight down the deck .

Test umps need to be better than giving those though .

Ashwin - the devilish genius that he is - was very quick to indicate that he'd bowled a ball that went straight on to put further doubt in the NZ batters minds.

Nz batsmen had the opportunity to review it. They blew it. Dont blame the umps for it.

Why, why do people still persist with this line?

Please give me one simple reason why the umpire doesn’t deserve blame for not umpiring at a level an umpire is supposed to umpire at?

Why is it the players’ job suddenly to umpire and accept blame when an umpire gets a decision wrong?

Because the players in this situation had the opportunity to rectify it through a review. They were hesitant in their decision and blew the opportunity. If you're allowing a DRS system and have the opportunity to review it then you can't get shitty with the umps decision.

 

[The hands of stone]

Said before , he is a very clever and shrewd player .
A few examples already in this test match.

You can still be shitty with it, if the umpire had done his job properly and given it not out there would have been no need for a review.

Players on the field often get reviews wrong, they don't have the benefit of replays that we get watching on tv or view it from the best angles.

So what if they had the opportunity? When did players become umpires? At what point did a top order batsman suddenly have to jump through all the same qualification hoops as a test level umpire? Should the umpire be able to score a century too just to even the ledger? What a ridiculous notion

 

[Nuggetz]

Hoping we can at least take the match into the last session today, if we bat out the day we might go close to chasing that lead down but it's unlikely.

NZ need a Williamson special, it'll be awesome if the match lasts until the last session.

Umpires aren't robots, they wont get every decision correct. The players now have the opportunity to challenge umpires decision. The ball is in their court, they were too slow in making the decision this time. Tough luck, it happens.

So umpires are not expected to get every decision right, in a role where their job is to get every decision right.

But players should always know instantly whether the person who’s job it is to make those decisions has gotten it right.

Ok this is a new take.

Noone is saying that NZ didnt muck up here .

But umpires still need to be accountable for decision making . Its their job.
Otherwise we may as well get old mate from row 2 out in the stands to come umpire.

 

[Park cricketer]

All of our umpires and commentators are terrible. There's no hiding from that.

I don't remember the last time we had a decent umpire or a commentator from India.

 

[Plugger35]

Somerville may not have done much with the ball in this test but at least he is doing a decent job with the bat.

Is likely to be his last contribution in Test cricket so needs to make it count.

 

[Plugger35]

We've survived the first hour without losing a wicket, still don't think we have much chance of winning this match but the odds of a draw are shortening.

Would have been better off with Wagner in the team.

 

[Nuggetz]

NZ have had a superb 1st session. Both batsmen are playing beautifully.

 

[Santana]

India's 2 pacemen have really s**t the bed this match. Surely Siraj comes in for one of them.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Not losing a wicket in the session.

Kiwis get a big.

 

[Plugger35]

A great effort to get to lunch without losing a wicket, if they can up the run rate in the 2nd session a win might not be out of the question.

 

[Park cricketer]

Gotta say 284/7 was bit of an aggressive declaration by Dravid's standards, given the relative ease at which Axar and Saha were batting towards the end. Expected him to a lot more conservative coach for some reason.

A few wicketless overs would leave India ruing if they could have pushed on for a few more runs before declaring. Looked like neither Axar nor Saha batted with any sort of declaration urgency seeing their strike rates.

 

[Plugger35]

Somerville gone straight after lunch, that may not be a bad thing though if we are looking to increase the run rate and push for a win.

The next 5-10 overs will decide NZ's approach. If Kane gets going we might have a chance. If India get him cheaply we'll shut up shop imo.

 

[Park cricketer]

Another cracking match going on in Bangladesh btw..

 

[NYRB]

52 overs or so left to go.

Important NZ go into the tea lesson no more than 2 wickets lost. If thats the case, I cant see NZ losing it from here.
