They're too scared to play on proper pitches...our bowlers will rip them apart.

That is a valid point 'ey!

I just watched another absolutely disgraceful howler by Nigel Long (umpire) giving Marlon Samuels out LBW.

Mohammed Shami to Samuels, OUT, lbw! After reversing the ball away from the right-hander, Shami swings it into him and hits Samuels on the knee roll of the front pad. That looked like it was missing leg stump but umpire Llong did not think so. Replays indicate it would have missed leg stump, considering how much it swung. Excellent variation from Shami though.

MN Samuels lbw b Mohammed Shami 4 (5b 1x4 0x6) SR: 80.00

This is another case of the BCCI and it's bloody arrogance in preventing the use of technology to overturn blatant mistakes. Unfortunately for Samuels he had no choice to walk. Another incident of the frigging kark influence of BCCI over cricket. Makes me Swines!

Why are you watching this meaningless match? It's extremely likely that this match has already been fixed before it started.

Because I love cricket and love to support West Indies where there is no conflict of interest (with SA).

Fixed? I did not say it, but hell yeah, if it's India or Pakistan, there is a > 75% probability of fixing of a kind.

I ask for your forgiveness for this humble Scot

Bit rough to blame the team for their Board's antics....

Actually "Lord god Sachin" is the reason they don't use the referral system. Was glad to see it go against him against the West Indies yesterday.

I feel sorry for WI. They had India in a predicament and subsquently left them off the hook. ( 155/6 to 430/7)

now they staring down a barrel and will most likely lose.

 

[Creag]

It is now 125/5 and rapidly deteriorating according to the script wherein Sachin will be names man of the match :|

+1. I also sometimes wonder why the Indians do not want the referral system used..... Surely it promotes a more fair game?

152/7

The only thing they appear to desire is greater revenue... and to promote (or is it protect) themselves.

It's simple really. Any umpire seen to not have a bias towards decisions going India's way can forget about future work.
