yeah thats there , but his presence alone makes the opposition sh*t their pants. For instance, if Sehwag would have been present for the final day of the match, instead of India , it would have been England playing to draw the match :bigyellowgrin:

 

:lol:

 

But then, if India had Sehwag in the squad England would probably have played on, instead of declaring. Both Prior and Broad looked comfortable enough to add more runs to the total.

Flower bemoans lack of ICC 'leadership' on DRS

 

England coach Andy Flower on Wednesday accused the International Cricket Council (ICC) of lacking leadership over its failure to issue clear rules about the use of the Decision Review System.

 

Under existing rules, either side in a series can veto the use of the DRS to determine lbw decisions, something India has elected to do in its ongoing series against England, who defeated the tourists at Lord's on Monday.

 

However the lack of the DRS during the first Test has cast the spotlight on umpiring in the game, with Billy Bowden twice denying Stuart Broad plumb lbw decisions which would have snared Sachin Tendulkar and Suresh Raina.

 

Although the decisions did not prove costly for England, Flower believes the absence of the DRS in the remaining three Test matches could fan the flames of controversy.

 

Asked if he was concerned about the possibility of trouble in the remainder of the series Flower admitted: "Yes, I am actually. We almost saw it happen in this Test match.

 

"It would have been wrong if the outcome of the game had been seriously affected by a couple of those decisions and it was quite right that, luckily, we did continue to create chances. It's unsatisfactory the way it is, there is no doubt about that."

 

Flower pointed the finger at ICC chiefs for allowing the current situation to arise, where DRS is used in some Test series but not in others.

 

"I don't think there's anything we can do, but I think the ICC should be stronger in taking a lead on these issues," said Flower. "They are the world governing body and they should lead. I don't think it's unfair to say they haven't led on this topic.

 

"We all know that it is not going to be 100% accurate, but we also know you get more right decisions using it, so let's not quibble about millimetres here when we know you get more right than wrong. That's why most Test-playing nations want to use it. (Umpiring) is a very difficult job. We all know that, and I think they would be happier with it too."

 

drs should be used in each and every test match.in the last series against WI this is what dhoni said-

 

You know, I can only say that if the correct decisions were made, the game would have finished much earlier and we would have been in the hotel much earlier!

 

which resulted in harper opting out of the 3rd test match.u dont respect umpires,u dont want to use drs and thn u go blah blah blah in media about umpiring and all.damn good captain.if decisions are going against him(dhoni)he is always ready to criticize umpires but whn they are not going against him he is like an angel on the field and believes drs is not good and umpires do make mistakes after all they are human and is happy with the umpiring.i know trott was out on 39 but so were sachin and raina but no drs no right decision still strauss didnt say we could've been in the hotel room 2 hours early if the umpires got there decisions right.

saala dhoni tu to damad hai bcci ka ja bol saalo ko ki tujhe drs chahiye kyuki bcci tujhe na nahi kaha sakti or agar use nahi karna hai to blah blah mat kar.ICC(pawar and co) ko rule bana dena chahiye ki drs use hoga in every test match.

India were already f**ked up without Sehwag, this sh*t is getting so wrong

also, I bet England would bitch that India were crowned champions without defeating England in England, as if they become champions then they would be able to beat India in India
