They are pretty ordinary in these conditions. They look clueless.

i fancy ali for a few here, with the way its turning. always knew moores would get the lads playing .
31 for 2 pujara out
ali should have dhawan out lbw. pad first and the review shows it would have hit middle stump, half way up. its a decision you get everytime with drs.
how he could not see it hit pad first, when ballance has been given out twice, when it was six inches away from hitting his bat
the umps made to look fools with no drs

Can't disagree with any bit of that. This DRS malarky is getting out of hand. Yes people will say shit decisions even themselves out, but that is bollocks, two wrongs don't make a right. Ali would've had a couple more wickets in this series alone if DRS was being used.
Umpire looking shit, not their fault but their reputations are taken a battering.

Apparently root is a part timer like ali. Must be why ali has over 250 career wickets and root not that much more than 50

Yeah but on balance I would rather he just played the game.

6 wickets to take. it should be an england win, we deserve to win this game. after the two dodgy decisions ballance received, i hope that dhoni will suffer another blatant error and he is last out.
I'd rather Jadeja middles one onto his pads off Anderson's bowling and is given out off the last ball of the day, he's then so incensed by the decision that he flies off the handle, blatantly calls Jimmy a cunt, calls the umpire a biased twat and gets himself banned for a year while Jimmy gets off scot free.

Are you really comfortable that Jimmy was completely innocent in all of this?

To be fair, the commentators on the highlights have said there was a double sound, probably caused by first hitting the pad then the hip. In real time that makes it very difficult for the umpire as he would have seen deviation of the ball after going past the bat as well as the double sound?i fancy ali for a few here, with the way its turning. always knew moores would get the lads playing .

Trouble is India won't be looking at accepting DRS while all the wrong decisions go in their favour ...... we need a really poor set of umpires who give consistently wrong decisions against India before anything will happen on that front.

his first innings dismissall was unreal. it was as clear as day there was no edge. he indians dont like the predictive element of drs re lbws. however this match we have used reviews for no balls, catches and if it is a four. surely clear errors re edges or not could be reviewed as they are a matter of fact?

I'm with you a hundred percent - just don't understand why in this day and age there are so many new technology phobes? I mean, tennis which has got to be one of the most fuddy duddy of sports organisations, embraced it with open arms and it works a lot better than having John McEnroe tantrums! God help us ...
I honestly don't know, it wouldn't surprise me if words were exchanged, but I can't look past the fact that India didn't register any kind of complaint until after the match when the alleged incident took place on day 2 as being slightly suspicious. With a character like Jadeja and India's reputation for having the authorities on their side, I can't help thinking it was a case of a bit of sledging going a bit too far and India seeing an opportunity to remove England's biggest threat with the ball from the series.
To be perfectly honest though, I don't really care what he did, I just want Anderson available for the remaining 2 tests. However, I have a nasty feeling the Indians will make sure they get their own way.
