158.6 Khan to Vaas, no run, Review last one if it's unsuccessful. Appeal for lbw. The ball cut in off a length from outside off stump, moved past the defensive stroke and hit him on the back pad in front of the off stump. It would have hit the middle. The only question is whether there was an inside edge. The umpire has said NOT OUT. Then the third umpire must have reckoned there was an inside edge. Hmm...


hmmnnn

I hate to say it...but India were a bit unlucky with that decision.
 
Sri Lanka declare at 600/6!

India need 400 just to avoid the follow on - after getting battered for 2 days in the Colombo heat, with the man who destroyed them in the Asia Cup final waiting to pounce...absolutely brilliant stuff really! :D
 
Why did you declare Jayawardane ?? You should have batted for another 2 days and ensured the Test ends in a draw. Cuz it's gonna anyway !!
 
Guys, sit back tight and let the carnage unfold. This could be a fun 3 days...let's just hope the rain stays away. Go Ajantha!
 
is shewag thinking we need to get 600 before end of todays play ?
Shewag 25(15) ...india scoring at 7.5 rpo !

Won't be scoring 600 from the pavilion! :))
 
We need to pick out one more wicket before Ajantha comes on...but this is a good start and we should be happy with it.
 
What a stupid shot from Sehwag

Fell straight into the trap.

Mahela must be beside himself.

Its pitches like these that seperate good bowlers from the great ones.

Why not bowl at 150 kph here and try to blow the opposition away.Bowlers should NOT take an easy way out just because the pitch is slow and flat.
Click to expand...
This "its a flat track, i wont bowl fast" attitude certainly wont get them wickets.

This is why the W's were the most successful bowlers on these wickets. They didnt give a crap about this and bowled fast reverse swinging yorkers :wasim :younis

Waqar also mentioned this yesterday, when ZAK was bowling around ~120, that they really need that pace...

Oh, and bisshop also said that

This is just the start mate, he will absolutely rip apart the Indians now...and if he doesn't, Murali will!

:)) :D :))) :asif
 
Mendis to Dravid, OUT, What a beauty from Mendis! His first Test wicket. Rahul Dravid is beaten all hands up. The flicker, the carrom ball does the trick. It landed on the middle stump, a unsure Dravid was on the back foot and it cut away quickly towards the off stump, past the poke and crashed into the top of the off stump. Dravid is stunned, looks back to confirm what his ears told him. The death rattle. The middle-finger assassin is on the prowl at SSC.

:)
 
I think Dravid being ur first wicket must be feeling really good... i think from all the batsmen currently, he is considered one of the most valuable wicket to get
 
The look on Dravid's face after getting bowled was PRICELESS !

Ian Bishop said that Dravid is averaging 30-something since the tour of the West Indies in 2006.

Best players of spin in the world eh? :))) :))) :)))

Yes, they are! That does not mean they will not be out to spin once in a while. Just like the bets players of pace do get out to McGrath and Sohaib :)))

Yes, he has declined since 2006, but in the end his "image" is still the same.

Getting The Wall (in recent times, he seems more like The Mountain) on ur first wicket must feel great i think :)

I agree that Ajantha will be pleased to get "the Wall" on debut, I was just saying he isn't as valuable as the great current batsmen like Moyo, Ponting, Kallis etc.

Well, it depends on what the umpire was thinking.

In realtime, it looked to me (and the commentator and i also think the umpire) that it pitch outside the line, but as u can see it pitched inside.

Then indeed, comes the height factor. they dont get the prediction, but i indeed think that it would be ~80% not out. Still a chance that it might be given out, and u do have 3 reviews available :P

Yes they are EXCLUDING MENDIS.I MUST SAY. :))) :))) :)))

And the best players of pace NEVER get out to McGrath and Sohaib i suppose using your logic?
 
Ok - this referral. If the replays is showing it is hitting the stump, why isnt it given out?

Whats the point if the 3rd umpire wont give it?
 
Good contest between Best batsman of the world and world class bowlers.
Really nice to see.Sachin is looking to attack here.looks like he will not give up.

Technology is not sufficiently fool proof for LBWs.

First of all, they dont use the prediction of the hawk-eye, so they dont see that....

Second of all, even more funny, the umpire at the ground doesnt see anything :))) The 3rd ump must tell him what he sees and the field umpire must make the decision :))
 
I think Sri Lanka were unlucky not to get Ganguly out on the review. Pitch in line, hit in line, hitting the stump. Whats not to give out ?
 
^so the ball is hitting the stump!

Umpire couldnt give it because of the 'doubt'

Referred to 3rd umpire.....he sees the reply, it show its hitting....but gives it not out?

Whats the point of it?

So what was the decision referred for? If the players know that LBWs wont be given?
 
^ I have no clue whats the point of it :) ...... perhaps they should also let the on field umpires look at the replays to give them a better idea. Umpires can carry a small display in their pockets to look at the replays.
 
The ball was coming into Gangu and would have clipped outer part of leg stump.I think if it would have been a straighter one he would have been given out.
 
The question here is, SHOULD they use the predictive element of hawk-eye?

I think many lbw are wrong, cause the ball is going to fast and things are happening too fast for the umpires. But once they see how the ball traveled and where it pitched and hit the batsmen, the might be better than the predictive element of hawk-eye..... the umpires know the pitch, bounce, state of the ball...
 
i reckon 3rd umpires dont get the hawkeye thingy as it is not 100% trusted yet.

same way that the other day they gave an sl batsman not out as the snicko is not 100% trusted either.

And they arent indeed.... umpires have been there long before hawk-eye existed.

btw, i do think they can use the hotspot, i dont see why they cant....

It was hitting only 1/4th of the leg stump, thats why. If it was directly hitting the stump, it would have been out
 
Good batting by both indian batsman.best part is they are looking to come on the front foot.rather then on the back foot.Mendis is kind of bowler who can only be tackled while coming on the front foot.

The ball was barely hitting the leg stump. When i saw it live, i thought it was missing. The 3rd Umpire doesn't get Hawk-Eye. The umpire on the field can only ask factual questions...("did it pitch in line?", "did it hit the batsmen inline?" ...etc). They cant ask, "in your opinion was it hitting leg stump?" (If I understood the commentator correctly)
