India have played well, anyone who isn't willing to admit that is just bitter at the performance India have put up so far.
 
Ashwin and Yadev have to come in for the next match, I have no idea why India went in with Karn Sharma.

Ashwin could have scored some handy runs down the order at least.

Giving five wickets to Lyon was criminal but yes they have gone well. Much better than what I expected. [MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] was right. I,on the other hand, thought they would be bowled out by now.

You're tail killed it for you.

Imo you had the lead in the bank, Rohit threw it away and Saha was unlucky.

I don't hype the current Pak batting line-up with the likes of Shafiq, Azhar, Misbah etc. when we have players like Fawad, Haris, Maqsood, Babar etc. in the wings. It's Indians that hype their team up which makes it even more funny when they get battered by an innings and give players double and triple hundreds for fun.

Who hypes our team up? All the Indian fans on here know about the inexperience of our batsmen and have never rated the bowlers even in the good times.

And before you make any remarks about bowling, you can check on the stats of which team has been the best in bowling and we are close to the top despite losing Asif, Amir, Ajmal and Junaid to injury.

Mitchell Johnson is overrated, just because he had 2 good series doesn't make him world-class. He has been mediocre for most of his career and has been dropped more often than not.
Click to expand...

But he's had 2 great runs of form, each lasting a year or more-
in 2008 he took 60+ test wickets at <30
Same in 2009

The in 2013 he took 30@17.5
Same in 2014 (@20)

Even one of the mediocre years he took 40 test scalps @34.

He's like Freddie Flintoff with higher, longer peaks and takes more wickets already. If he keeps it up another year or so he'll be an oz legend.

Those stats are impressive losing your premier bowlers and also bowling on the flat, unresponsive UAE pitches

And what did your bowlers do exactly on responsive South African wickets? Junaid, Gul, Irfan, Rahat Ali - every one of them averaged 40 odd.
 
Australia vs India | 1st Test | December 9-13 | Adelaide | Day 5

Can Australia win it?

Key will be Kohli and Pujara I believe.
 
This pitch is still a highway, Boring test cricket :yawn: . India don't have the ability to chase this so will even put the likes of Azhar Ali to shame with their tuk tuk
 
India should try to win in 80 overs..just in case we dont have over remaining at the end of the day!!

Mindset should be 80 overs...
 
What a pathetic ..pathetic umpiring!!

Home team cheating and bullying the umpires at its ugly best..
 
What a pathetic decision!

Saha given out caught off the pad

Warner given not out off the glove

Dhawan given out off the shoulder

Thats very poor umpiring.
 
Poor decision but thats what DRS is used for, to get rid of these howlers.
 
Indians have no right to complain even though they fully support BCCIs stance against DRS. You reap what you sow so no sympathies

Incompetent umpiring , nothing else. It seems that Indians have gotten more wrong decisions so far but it normally balances out in series.
 
The bias of channel 9 commentators is nauseating to say the least

DRS is there to for obvious howlers. This is a howler. If you had DRS then this would have been overturned. So DRS can replace such incompetency, but BCCI for some reason are against it. You can come up with all the excuses you want, but this is what you get for not having a system which is helpful. It's unfortunate, but you need to start implementing it. BCCI need to stop being to stuck up about DRS.
 
Still dont understand why BCCI doesn't want DRS.

Its even better in this series as Australian broadcasters have all the tools - like realtime snicko and hotspot.

Only contention will be Hawkeye but its still good over 95% of the time.

Poor umpires need to be sacked.DRS is also incompetent.Masood dismissal being a case in point.

They keep saying it flicked off the gloves when the naked eyes clearly sees there is absolutely no contact with the gloves. Snicko even confirms no contact with gloves but I dont know they keep saying it touched slightly off gloves.

Bias at its best
 
I genuinely don't know why slip fielders stay so far back! I have never seen someone edge over slips, but so often see edges falling short. Surely on day 5 they would be closer! Vijay would have been out now!
 
Dhawan is like warner. If he stays he scores super quickly.

I think India will not even try to go for the target.

Why is it nauseating? It's for home audience and all commentary teams are normally biased towards home audience.

That wasn't a howler, and secondly it was out regardless at it was still clipping.

A howler is where you are out for edging (or vice versa), or pitching outside leg stump or bat-pad.

All umpires will be making such howlers sooner or later. How many are you going to sack? And you're right in that DRS is not perfect, but it's the best out there right now and it is a very helpful tool to remove such howlers as this.

If you don't want to use it, then fine, but don't come and complain later.
 
In absence of DRS umpires give all the close decisions against India.

Think they wont be as much backlash as giving a wrong decision against sides which are pro DRS
 
Star showing the replay of the 3 poor decisions.The umpire was Ian Gould on all 3 occasions.Surprise Surprise!
 
If you want to have influence in having a bad decision overturned, get DRS. If you don't then you are enabling the bad decisions to happen. Simple really.

Poor umpires must be sacked.

If a worker performs poorly you dont give him a better machine to work.You replace him with a competent worker.

Think rationally

Machines are incompetent and Human are incompetent however humans at the present moment make far more errors than the machine are making.

Shan Masood mistake is 1 in 100 test matches of DRS decisions whereas there is 2-3 howlers every test matches by humans

What is better?

Choose at your own disposal

Yeah agree. All of them are biased. But I am not a home fan so venting my frustration.

1 umpire makes 3 poor decisions in the same test againist the same opponent.Thats calls for some action to be taken againist that umpire.

Sadly for some people BCCI cannot ever be wrong so they keep defending their stupid antics and start with their nonsense conspiracy theories when something, even if a little thing, goes against them.

The current situation demands that someone as incompetent as Gould or dare i say BIASED needs to be sacked.

Not just this incident. General observation. They keep praising Clarke & co to no end.

Dude think of the context. They are playing in Australia. The team was rocked by the loss of a popular player. There was a lot of emotion around the Test. Clarke got injured and batted virtually on one leg. Of course they will play to the audience they are broadcasting to. Indians in India aren't even getting the Channel 9 commentary they have Harsha Bhogle and Sanjay Manjrekar doing their commentary via Star Sports.

They have been complimentary to Indian players who deserved it, like Kohli and Aaron. But if you're expecting them to fawn over all the Indian players and praise them to the skies for doing nothing that's probably not going to happen.

If it's any consolation we feel the same when we hear your commentators during tours to India.
 
The only reason India do not want DRS is because they play a lot of matches at home and there are a lot of fans, when the whole team appeal (and they always voraciously appeal), the entire crowd appeals which puts pressure on the umpire.

Kumar Dharmasena was responsible for a lot of bad decisions during the OZ tour of England but we didn't think he was biased. There's a difference between incompetence and bias and it's very difficult to prove the latter.

I stick by what I said. DRS is there to improve decision making. If India choose not to employ it then they have ultimately contributed to their own situation.

Ian Gould is not a good umpire, but Aleem Dar, Richard Kettleborough, every single umpire makes some howlers and bad decisions, because they are humans.

Here you have a capable tool which can eradicate these howlers, but you do not want to use it. Why not? I don't know. Because it's not perfect? They use Hawk-Eye in Tennis, in The English Premier League for their goal line technology, why cannot you accept DRS which is so helpful in removing bad decisions like these? BCCI's stance doesn't make any sense whatsoever, but keep supporting them I guess.

This could have gone either way, but unfortunately for the Indian players, they have been the victims in this test match. In the next match it could be the Aussies, all because of one cricket governing board out of everyone who are vehemently against DRS.
 
It would be interesting to see how many howlers have been given since introduction of DRS. Marginal decisions are acceptable.

Game survived so long before DRS. Umpiring standards were good.

Anyways Lyon into the attack. Hope we use our feet and play positively
