India v England series

[rentaghost]

Not “spitting my dummy out”.
India are the number 1 Test side in the world and I can accept being beaten fair and square, but the attitude of the team AND the commentators is that anything goes as long as it favours them.
I expect it from Kohli....he is a snidely little rat and always has been....but it is the combination of the weak and unbalanced Umpiring that tips the scales unfairly in their favour....and they don’t even need it.
Add the North Korean style commentary and I find that I am not enjoying what should be a good contest.

I’m sorry like but if you think an umpire is good enough to give out one set of players out umpires call and not others it’s paranoid nonsense. Whatever you would like to think umpires livelihoods depend on their percentage correct decision making and that’s what their future opportunities around the world come from. Now Sibley has just been given not out on the field when he was out.

Were you not watching yesterday mate?

this pitch is an utter disgrace like

how can you be allowed to prepare a pitch like this?

Not even sure it deserves to be called a pitch.....hope england sack the tour in leaving it a draw so the aussies play the kiwis in the final.
Only half joking, this bias has been on another level and its only been 4 sessions

Indians do what the want, worse than Auusies is for cheating for me just seem to get away with it a lot more

don’t see why we can’t bring an umpire from the ECB in situations like this.

this just isn't a spectacle, its an hour into day 2........day 2!!

this doing more than the day 5 pitch in the last match

 

[SAFC 83]

No one even mentioning the decision from yesterday. Obviously didn't happen even though it's standing in the middle of the cramped commentary box like an Indian elephant.

 

[FatDrummer]

He is out....but Kohli’s histrionics there were disgusting.....His gestures towards the Umpire used to squarely heap more pressure on them. He knew it was out and the review would show it, but his posturing and pouting are there for one reason only. Cannot stand him.

 

[Concordsafc]

Just frustrate them, root dig in.

That was a near perfect sub continent test pitch imo

 

[SAFC 83]

My god, the spin here.

The pitch looks like a bomb has dropped on it everytime the ball pitches.

 

[LD19SAFC]

Horrible fuckers this lot like

 

[Sack Fatto]

Horrible fuckers this lot like

With Kohli the most horrible fucker.

 

[Wayne The Punk]

The commentator “The ball CRASHING into stumps”.....get to fuck.
It barely clipped the stump at BEST and if the Umpire’s arse hadn’t dropped because of ridiculous and prolonged pressure from the Indians, he would have stood his ground and the ‘Umpire’s Call’ would have correctly gone the Batsman’s way.
We are on a hiding to nothing here and I am on the verge of just f***ing this uneven contest off.

I was just about to post that, crashing my f***ing arse

Aye what you expect

they are just gonna do this for the next 2 tests and one of theirs will slog a batsman

Rohit played mint, but 1 batsman playing well shouldnt decide a test match

really is not up to international standards this like, absolutely nothing will be done though

So today so far we have had Burns given out lbw who was lbw and Dibley given not out when he was out. What happened yesterday were mistakes and the technology one terrible but not part of some wider conspiracy. Even the likes of Dobell barely raised an eyebrow and he’s never backwards in coming forwards

 

[scotch]

Tough playing against 14 men and the pitch

 

[SAFC 83]

The commentator saying this a game of patience on this pitch, wtf.

haha mate, you dont think that umpires get pressured into decisions in the sub continent? have you not watched cricket in the last 30 years?

Its not even sunday league standard

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Nearly a daisy cutter there. With spin and the ball only 10 overs old.
