    Well....... I guess I will simply conclude you are all making this up then.

    Channel 9 finally bow to benchmark00 pressure

    Those are different things. I've seen snicko picking something up, while the ball was nowhere near the bat. Any technical system will give the occasional false positive. Yet I can't see any technical system generate more false positives than the naked eye of an umpire. Anyway, got any...

    What an unbelievably crap decision......

    England 05 v England 13

    Apart from England being overrated or not, it is fair to say Cook, Trott, Prior and to an extend Pietersen did not bat at their expected level!

    England 05 v England 13

    The 2013 side underperformed (not all of them of course, but on the whole, they did imho), yet they beat Aus 3-0. The 2005 side really excelled to beat the world's undisputed #1 side in a spectactular series. The excelling 2005 side would beat the underperforming 2013 side, I guess. If both team...

    Does it really matter? Let me be the first to congratulate you Pak Fans! Albeit slightly premature, this is a well-earnt victory.

    Some turn, some bounce, but nothing special. Unless the Indian road pitches are your standard, it is a decent pitch.

    :) TBF, the line needs to stay connected for a decent while!

    Channel 9 finally bow to benchmark00 pressure

    Though I would acknowledge that just any type of technology will occasionally create a false positive, I don't think I recall a number of examples of a small mark on the bat showing up when the ball hasn't hit it. Maybe I should watch more cricket.... Anyway, could it be that sometimes the...

    Ah, always funny to see a whole fielding side appealing with this typical 'come-on-umpire-how-can-you-not-give-this-out' expressions, yet not even considering a review when the umpires says it is not out.

    What was the idea behind the extra fielding restrictions in the first place? Obviously, resctricting the fielding side, is a bonus for the batting side. But I can't see how cricket would benefit form giving the batsmen a bonus.

    Man, Johnson's been bowling all over the place. And than gets the game back to somewhat exciting with two wickets. I still think Kohli and Dhoni will bring India home though.

    Well, it is sensible not to get carried away after a boundry, and judge the next ball on its merit. Which is quite often, regardless of just having hit a boundary, to hit it gentilly into a close gap and take a single.

    Yeah, but he kept his back foot in the crease. I guess he could have approached the ball a bit more.
