I'm not sure if you've played cricket before but the ball can travel fairly fast after bouncing even on a slow pitch, especially if its been dug out.

Whatever it takes!!!

Sure.. when the batsman is packing a punch, not when he is flicking it after taking it on the half volley...



But then again, I have only played cricket, not the game you are talking about.. so.........

For 2005 series, the cricinfo commentary will surely give a clue on how many bad decisions Tendulkar got?

If ever there was proof it's a batsman's game, this thread is it. Pages of moaning about all the times the poor ickle batter has been hard done by, but hardly a word about the stone dead LBWs turned down or the massive nicks not seen/heard.

Sachin was out about three times before Bres finally got the decision at The Oval in the 4th test.

the rules say that the benefit of the doubt goes to the batsman, so it's obviously a batsman's game. (if a umpire doesn't feel confident about a particular decision, he's not going to give up)
