"It's England v India, but not in a good way"

Harsha Bhogle on England and India's refusal to understand each other | Opinion | Cricinfo Magazine | ESPN Cricinfo

An excellent piece to read. Sums up what I've experienced myself in this site so far. Too much warmongering.. too little understanding of the other.

Harsha Bhogle is a ****ing tool so I won't be wasting 30 seconds of my life by clicking that link.

Harsha Bhogle is actually Cevno

I believe India had a very valid point on the DRS: that ball-tracking with normal-speed cameras is not much good, and that - as even the opinion of the head of Virtual Eye bore out - we might be better off without it. But India is never very keen to explain its stand, preferring instead to make its point of view known to the world through terse statements.

Saw him admit that India had a touch of the nouveau riche about them. +1

Just an awful, self-serving, whinging article. The gist seems to be the BCCI behaves like bullies because the English expect them too.

& Virtual Eye's inventor reckons a competing system that tracks the ball isn't much good? **** me, who ever would thought it? What next? Pepsi's CEO thinks Coke is a bit ****?

I still don't know why that has any negative connotations compared to old money where your grand-daddy gives you everything.

 

[GIMH]

It's because the nouveau riche need everyone to know they have money

Still better than the alternative.

TBF, taking a competitor's word is no better than taking a corporations own word about their product...I don't see why you should doubt or believe one but not the other. They both have a certain agenda. I'm the biggest fan of the technology but I would also like to see their testing data released in order to quiet the opposition.

Well I'm sure you know WTF you're on about.

Virtualeye claim that all ball tracking technology can't be trusted on the predictive element, including their own.

Way to miss the point; Bogle was using it as evidence to support his contention India were right to be suspicious of the predictive part of the UDRS.

My gist was the inventor of Virtual Eye is hardly a disinterested party, so his opinions have to be treated with a grain of salt.
