Link 2 - Day 3 England vs India
This is about the last 2 days of cricket between India and England. Match changing decisions have been made. Decisions have gone Englands way.
A post (from link 2) shows that if this was the other way around, England would have stuck with the decision. What happened to honest sportsmanship?
Saturday:
-Harbhajan LBW, then 3 wickets go quickly after that.
Correct decision: Not out. This has cost India 50-100 runs
Sunday:
-Bell run out.
Incorrect decision: Put back in to bat
-Trott LBW
Incorrect decision: Should have walked. These 2 decisions have given England momentum and 50-100 more runs.
2 days of decisions going Englands way. This has turned a game that was in India's favour to England. This is now over for India who will lose the series and the number 1 place to England.
Not being biased, I would have to say Broad deserves man of the series with his batting and bowling. In addition Dravid is a close 2nd with his batting.
England are missing Trott (who's not at his game). India are missing Harbhajan today, Zaheer, Sehwag and Kohli.
-With these decisions, should 3rd umpires be more involved?
-Should players on both sides be honest?
Elsewhere:
This is not the only sport at a loss, look at Football with England denied a World Cup goal and Argentina given one. Is that fair?
