As an Indian fan i'd take those 'free' dismissals but its not good for the game and you need uniformity. Hope something about this is done in 2012.<br /><br /><br />Happy new year and just want to let you know that my blog has changed address. It is now 'The Wicket Post' at http://www.thewicketpost.com/ . Do note the change and update your links and blogrolls.

Hussey would point to things evening out after he was given out caught behind when he didn't touch it in the first innings.<br /><br />But the sooner the review system is sorted out the better. And without players having to appeal to use it....just as the norm whenever the umpire wants to use it.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06755797969506651900noreply@blogger.com
