Watson, Sehwag, Gayle and Perera present the Rubbish Review Hall Of Shame

[Spikey]

why didn't Hussey review that?

 

[ankitj]

No UDRS is what cricinfo commentary said. Is there no review for edges too?

 

[Dan]

Its an India series...

 

[Cevno]

So....

1)Morgan reviewed a absolute plumb LBW.

2)Broad reviewed a plumb LBW.

3)Worst of the lot, Gul reviewed a LBW with ball pitching miles outside leg stump and even hitting outside leg.

 

[Spark]

Yeah not a good day for "smart UDRS usage".

 

[smash84]

yep.....all 3 belong here

 

[Spark]

Having said that I still think the worst review of all time was Perera's nick to first slip.

 

[Daemon]

Any footage of that?

 

[Jono]

3)Worst of the lot, Gul reviewed a LBW with ball pitching miles outside leg stump and even hitting outside leg.

I honestly think some of the Pakistanis do not know the pitched outside leg LBW rule. And I'm not joking. I definitely think Cheema is unaware of the rule.

 

[Howe_zat]

Saeed Ajmal this morning. Honestly.

 

[GIMH]

Saeed Ajmal this morning. Honestly.

Yes, what a clown

 

[Spark]

Not entirely sure what Bell was thinking there.

 

[Cevno]

Yeah, really poor review. Seemed plumb from the start.

 

[Furball]

I think most of the plumb lbw reviews are done on the basis of "****, we really can't afford to lose this wicket, I'm going to gamble on the 1% chance that I might have got outside the line."

I think most of the plumb lbw reviews are done on the basis of "****, we really can't afford to lose this wicket, I'm going to gamble on the 1% chance that I might have got outside the line."

I think this happens rather a lot actually, not just with England either. Can't say I blame any team that tries it on, but I think it's one of the few downsides of the introduction of the DRS.

 

[Furball]

Incidentally the best review was Johnson to Collingwood 1st innings at Perth.

Johnson appeals, and the appeal is turned down by the umpire. Johnson looks at Ponting and says "I reckon that looks pretty good mate."
Ponting: "Not too high?"
Johnson: "Nah."
Ponting: *signals for referral*

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Who do you guys think would be the best person at reviewing throughout cricket history. Someone who was calculating and did not let emotions affect his judgement at all.

 

[sledger]

Precambrian.

We haven't had the system long enough to make that type of judgement I'd think.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

I meant would have been. Can include any cricketer from the past.
