Super Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Personally think it's great there's no DRS, no faffifng around with reviews etc Why? If you will get more correct decisions? The Prior one yesterday was a shocking decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperor Palpatine Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 So India run the game now do they?! How on earth are they allowed to dictate like that? Money and power that they possess of course... On a slightly smaller scope Bangladesh are a pretty awful test side and are pretty much an embarrassment but they also have money and a very fanatical fanbase who go loopy at every 2 or 3 runs... Hence why Ireland or the Netherlands get a look in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Personally think it's great there's no DRS, no faffifng around with reviews etc There have been at least 2 decisions that would have been overturned, IMO it's better to get the right decision. It's only because some of India's senior players were given out when it was first introduced they turned against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only because some of India's senior players were given out when it was first introduced they turned against it. You still get wrong decisions with DRS eg. when a team has run out of reviews. Best to leave everything to the umpires imo, things always even themselves out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally differant a wicket over 5 days which only had 28 wickets on it at the time.Both teams knew by tea it was a draw, so why couldn't they call it quits. England were using Ali and Root and saving there seamers, can see that the crowd want a fair days entertainment but it wasn't really entertainment.

wayne allisons tongues Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Totally differant 65 of 90 mins to go at the football. There were 30 out of 450 overs to go at the cricket. I personally think on a wicket which had only seen 28 wickets in 420 overs in four and a half days why couldn't they just agree to a draw instead of waiting for a hour and England using mainly second string bowlers for that time. Just think a bit of common sense and value for the crowd should of been used. You pay to see the top players and because they can't win they don't get used.
