Who cares mate?

The fact is that a series with India is the most profitable series for all cricket boards.

If the other boards feel so strongly about the DRS, then they should refuse playing India, if India do not agree to using the DRS.

Can't blame BCCI if the other cricket boards put their financial interests above their players feelings.

I too feel BCCI are sometimes like a big bully, but that is the way the world is - look at Microsoft v Apple, US, RU or China v the smaller countries. No one seems to be complaining about these things.

I still think Cowan hit it

...and your evidence for this is?

Hot Spot - didn't touch it
Snicko - didn't touch
Replay - didn't touch it
Cowan - very unhappy and stood his ground

So what are you basing it on?

I love your rationale vis-a-vis Hussey...if someone looks like they tried to hit it, they should be out too.

What next? One hand one bounce?

Surely the most profitable are the ashes series for England and Australia?

If the ECB or ACB make their annual reports public, please check for details of revenues from each series.

The most profitable tour is the Ashes.

Comparing the BCCI's corrupt hold on cricket to global super powers is somewhat disingenuous.

India CRAVE international competition as it serves as a validation to their burgeoning prowess. Although it would never happened, if there was a boycott of Indian cricket, they would capitulate inside 18 months.

A boycott of cricket and rugby tours brought down a whole dirty political system in South Africa, so denying a people the thing they love the most would certainly bring about change.

At present though, India know they not only write the rules of the game, they OWN the game and unlike the MCC before them, the BCCI do NOT have the best interests of cricket at heart.

Read the book by Gideon Haigh "Sphere of Influence" for an insight into the corrupt machinations of Indian cricket.

I think there has to a limit to the amount of technology that can be used. No need for standing umpires if for everything technology has to be used.

I feel that the use of technology is taking sportsmanship away from the game. Every player wants a review and unless that are very obviously out, they will want to question the Umpires decision.

Just look at the on-field umpire using the 3rd umpire to check for a no ball when Haddin was out. This is ridiculous, that is the umpire standing there and doing???

See some of the series from 70's 80's and early 90's players used to walk off without any gesture once the umpire's finger was raised. Now, people are just standing their for reviews, umpire checking for no balls, clean catches etc.

Can robots do all work and replace us?

Separate topic needed for the corruption of the BCCI, or does this still incorporate the current match?

Good morning Vic!

Going to be a long day for you today as well.

Don't you sometimes feel that you should do something different today? ----- make a positive and non-cribbing post on the forum?

Sorry not as well read as you, have better books and subjects to read on and hence very selective on what i read.

As I said  - Who cares mate. Everyone wants a good series. Umpiring blunders have always been a part of the game and will continue to be.

What the common fan or follower of the game thinks about the DRS, does not make a difference to the what negotiations happen between the cricket boards behind those closed doors.

Just chill and enjoy the series mate. At least it will be better than the Ashes - Aus can win a game or two (possibly a series as well)

Pretty much the point I was trying to make on the previous page about umpires being lazy and not as good as years gone by
