Lungboy posted:What the actual gently caress is Gavaskar on about on TMS? Saying that DRS is bad because if a team uses all its reviews up, and a player tries to review a decision, the player will be charged with dissent for questioning the umpire's decision. Surely he can't actually think that? His ramble made absolutely no sense at all other than the bit about getting rid of challenges and leaving video referral to the discretion of the umpires, a good idea imo as challenging the umpire "just isn't cricket". If this series has taught us anything it is how poo poo umpires are and that DRS is vital at the top level. Now umpires are used to having it available to fall back on the standard of decision making is only going to go down is games where it is unavailable.

We already knew DRS improves decision making, even before you factor in the poor decisions that get fixed. It was one of the main arguments in favour.

At least people have stopped doing the "run down the track to spin because they can't give you out" thing so much.

The worry is that if you give umpires control of the DRS they will err on the side of caution and review everything, slowing the game down. That's what happened in the World XI v Australia super test in 2006 (remember that?).

That's what happened in the World XI v Australia super test in 2006 (remember that?). It was poo poo and should be struck from the records. Obviously, it wasn't on terrestrial TV so those outside cricket couldn't see it. Caught the end of the Sri Lanka/Pakistan game on what I think was a streamed English language Pakistani feed? They managed to squeeze in three adverts between overs, along with various on-screen adverts for mobile phones while the game was on. Some world class time wasting from Pakistan, but the good guys* won in the end. *I quite like Pakistan generally, but twatting around doing up shoelaces etc hoping for bad light/rain leaves a sour taste in the mouth I think.

Sky managed to review the broad decision and communicate to them on the field to use the review before they ran out of time to ask for one in the broad is a poo poo bloke chicanery so I don't see why they couldn't speed the process up a little.

Not that they can manage it currently, but that's easily fixed with harsher penalties like free runs or the captain not playing the next day.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGxU5y1OlYk My favourite thing about this video of the end of Sri Lanka v Pakistan is when the commentator says that as far as he's concerned it's way darker than when they went off for light on day one. It's a thrilling match situation where they're racing against the potential for rain and he wanted them to loving go off because of bad light.

Any specific reason for that????"------ Let's no go there.. let's say it's one of the tools necessary for all offspinners these days

The Saffers aren't beating the Zimbers as comfortably as I thought they would. They're still winning, but Amla out for 4 and ABdV for 7? Shameful. Should have had a ton each.

This is more what I expected from Saffers/Zimbers. Steyn's ended up with 8 wickets at 10.5 Good debut for Piedt as well, nice early-career stats-padding 8 at 19.0
