Umpires robbed England of win in Kanpur: British media

London, November 21: : India's Duckworth/Lewis win in the Kanpur one-dayer against England was dubbed 'farcical' by an angry British media, which lambasted umpires Russell Tiffin and Amiesh Sahiba for their "lack of common sense" in conducting the game.

3rd ODI at KanpurBy: Paraameswaran M.K. | Friday , 21 Nov '08 14:09:07 PM Reply | Forward If there was no light problem, then also it was difficult for England team to win. The rules were not made in suport of Indian team. After loosing the match, it is not fair to critisise the umpires and the rules.
Kanpur cricket match-India By: Ajjampur Ramadas | Friday , 21 Nov '08 14:04:17 PM Reply | Forward Sir, one thing that I do not understand that all these senior and experienced empires knew the light conditions in Kanpur and why they did not decide the match to be conducted in limited overs say 20:20 or 30:30, thus making this match a decisive one in a decent way rather than to follow D/L method, which is being questioned one. This could have been much better than to receive criticism being now hurled at them.
English win??? How???????????By: astrix91 | Sunday , 23 Nov '08 12:31:56 PM Reply | Forward The reason that you do not understand is that you do not have that basic knowledge of the game. There is no body other than the losers questioning the decisions and yes some morons like you too. Why are you s defensive to the vitiated criticism hurled by the sore losers. They are so sure of their victory as will Indian Players would have paralysed after 40 overs of play. I am quite sure, India was better placed when the match ended due to bad light.
Cry BabiesBy: Cris Broony | Friday , 21 Nov '08 13:32:49 PM Reply | Forward Earlier Aussie media and now the British media are bahaving like bad loosers. Come on Englishmen, there was 5 wickets left with 5 run/over requirement and Dhoni (No. 1 ODI player) and Pathan ( who rogered England in the last match, 29 ball 50).

THIRD ODI AT KANPURBy: NANDA | Friday , 21 Nov '08 13:05:55 PM Reply | Forward Mr Kevin Pietersen the captain of the England team should have been aware of the rules of the game . England won the toss and were at one stage 79 for no loss the english players were not able to increase the run rate after they lost the first wicket . The Indian team even though they lost two quick wickets were always scoring in a better run rate throught the match except for a few overs . The better team won there is no pont in the British Media and Mr Pietersen grumbling after loosing the match. Even if the game had continued India would have won as they had the wickets and overs to win the match.
Poor England teamBy: Alankar | Friday , 21 Nov '08 12:34:56 PM Reply | Forward Only way England would have won this match was by D/L method...unfortunately it went against them...now they have somebody else to blame for their loss than themselves
England robbed of Victory, or robbed of an absolute lossBy: s | Friday , 21 Nov '08 12:27:53 PM Reply | Forward Well - everyone knew the rules, and Pietersen chose to bat first. He should have judged that with 1 over deducted, the 2nd team may well play only 40 overs. So it was a strategic mistake.also, 43 runs with 5 wickets in 9 overs is not that tall a task that the English players and media assumed that England would surely win from there
Umpires robbed England of win in Kanpur: British mediaBy: P K Subraya Holla | Friday , 21 Nov '08 12:17:11 PM Reply | Forward Had there been enough light and if match had lasted for the full 50 overs would England have won the match? There were 60 balls and only 43 runs to score. How can English media think that it was their chance to win. If match had continued in another fiver overs Dhoni and Pathan could have finished the match
obssessionBy: Indi | Friday , 21 Nov '08 12:13:22 PM Reply | Forward It seems every one is obsessed against India winning? Aussies are so rattled so much so that they have lost there mental balance and dont know what to talk and what not to. Now it is the turn of british media to cry fowl. Wonder what the british media would have said had england won by duckworth lewis system
Kanpur one dayBy: KUMAR | Friday , 21 Nov '08 11:44:59 AM Reply | Forward When you are captaining a side Mr Kevin Pietersen you should be well aware of the rules of the game no use in cribling your team were at one stage 79 for no loss with a very good run rate it is the mistake of your batsman that they could not capitalise on the good start and the team was bowled out in less than the stipulated 49 overs .It is the entire team that has to be blamed . You should recollect that India was well in control of the run rate throught the match except for a very few overs after which they were ahead of the run rate most of the time . your team failed in the first place to capitalise on winning the toss there is no use in finding fault with the umpires
England robbed of victoryBy: Mandesh Gharat | Friday , 21 Nov '08 11:16:50 AM Reply | Forward How does English media come to the conclusion that it was England who was going to wing the match ? With Dhoni
