ReVieW SyStEm??????

Post the "CoNtRoVeRsIaL" test series in Australia...There had to be some changes....some changes in the Umpiring pattern....In came the review system...a system by which both the batting and the bowling side has 3 chances in each innings to question the umpire's decision in the form of a ReViEw....a Review would mean the question is asked to the T.V Umpire ...the margin of error of whose, is supposedly very less or non-existent....Oh really??????

Srilanka V/s India...Day 1 of the 3rd Test Match....debutant Kariyawasam Tirana Gamage Dammika Prasad bowling to Sachin....and today he must be celebrating his debut...all thanks to the Newly found Review System...

Yeah....day 1 of the 3rd test....12:07 local time....Kariyawasam Tirana Gamage Dammika Prasad was bowling to Sachin who was on 6...91 short of Brian Lara's record of the highest number of test runs....the ball pitches on middle and leg...Sachin moves to play his amazing leg glance and it goes through and hits his pads....Srilankanz appeal and Mr.Mark Benson raises his finger....Sachin ...sure to have nicked it ..asked for the review....when a player like Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar asks for a review after being given out...when he thinks he has nicked the ball....then surely must've have Nicked it....but Billy Doctrove thought otherwise....saw the delivery 4 to 5 times from all possible angles....the decision was pending for a long time...and it was surely going Tendulkarz way until Benson got the view from Billy's point of view...and did not cross his hands on his shoulders as I had expected...Billy had just given him out....Sachin was surely dejected...it showed on his face....So still 91 runs to go for the great man for the milestone...but more importantly he's a victim of bad umpiring yet again... :(( :(( :((
In the Words of Sunil Gavaskar..."Im sorry Mr.Benson...But Uve got it all wrong...." infact include Billy Doctrove as well....because never in history of the game has a benefit of doubt gone the bowlers way....God save Cricket from this system...!!!!

Sachin booed at wankhede ... The true story...

Everyone knows that sachin was booed by the wankhede crowd...Now comnig to the real story... He was booed by a certain section of crowd .. dunno which stand that was but there were very few ppl thr who actually booed him... thanx to the Indian Media that this was blown out of proportion.. Now coming to the best part... The very next day there was a full house at wankhede ... India wasn't batting... the only reason why it was full was, The mumbai crowd, the ppl of mumbai wanted to say to tendulkar that they were behind him.... This shows how big an icon he still is... the little Big mAn of cricket is still the numero one... he will be... ...
