Umpiring mistakes at the MCG today!

[Artie Bucco]

Shit happens, the Indian players are within their right to appeal and umpires make mistakes. I'm sure by the end of this series the Indian's will have a few dodgy ones their way too. This is not the real issue here

What I find unacceptable, is that the ICC aren't enforcing DRS one way or the other. Why leave it up to individual countries to choose whether it is apart of the game? If the majority agree, make it mandatory.

This just reinforces the criticism surrounding their concessions when it comes to dealing with the BCCI.

hussey is a noted non-walker, ok fair enough, over the years the silly prick has had more than his share go his way, so swings and roundabouts mikey baby.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

For the good of the game, Tendulkar MUST be incrrectly dismissed, preferably in the 90s. Bonus points for happening after an unnecessary rain break.

Tell me who all the noted walkers are in world cricket these days.

They must exist if you identify Hussey as a non-walker.

You should have said something 4 years ago when the issue came to a head.

Too late now.

That was the whole ****ing point of the DRS, to please the Indians. Could you imagine the uproar again if all of these decisions were going against the Indians?

We had stacks of howlers in the South Africa series 6 weeks ago but nobody remembers because the DRS was successful in overturning all of these decisions. It's an absolute joke that it can be in one series, but not the next.

Bad decisions but they happen. Despite what happened today I still loathe DRS and am glad to be without it. I'm ok with it for checking if the ball pitched outside leg, but that's it. Hot spot's dodgy at best, and hawkeye's a joke. It also completely strips the decision of the benefit of doubt going to the batsman. Having umpiring decisions overturned based on a guess by a computer is ridiculous.

DRS removes the howlers, and that's what EVERYONE wants, except you it seems.

Clueless.

Well there you go, hussey the w***er, has had more than his fair share go his way, all I`m saying is cop it sweet when one goes the other way.

I didn't see Hussey or Cowan receive much in the way of benefit of the doubt today.

We've had our bitch, and racist (or otherwise) rants.

Thread is done....

The fact that Hussey is a non-walker is irrelevant, given that the vast majority of international batsmen are non-walkers.

I'd also suggest that most long-term international batsmen have had their fare share go their way over their careers.

So basically your argument boils down to Hussey having to cop it sweet because you think he is a w***er.
