maybe
by Roshan on May 08, 2007 08:38 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

maybe if the squash ball had an ICC sponsor, or dilmah tea , written on it, cricket could care less.

this game is already in the drains, dont plug it in there even more.

revive it, play cricket, not the talks.

try beating australia, now the ball in the glove.

indian team wheres 100 balls in their gloves, they will acheive nothing. so play the game,

GILCHRIST IS GR8
by Sathya Ranganathan on May 08, 2007 08:35 PM  Permalink 

EVERYONE remember the same gilchrist walked away for not out in the 2003 SEMIFINAL against the SL

dont just support lanka because they are asians, they r chukers, murali, malinga and all srilanks did not deserve to be in the finals at all,

i am not an australian fan but i like gilchrist, yes India did not make it to super-8 but still support them

steve waugh had a red handkercheif in his pocket during most of his time at the crease...

does he need to take permission from ICC to use that red handkercheif.

lanka, admit to be the loser, and australia as the better team.

its like saying, that was the first time in your lifetime that you have seen gilchrist playing an innings like that.

Roshan,

Red hand kerchief is nothing to do but gilchrist admits that squash ball in glove provided him extra grip as told by his coach. Both r different scenarios. Gilly used an additional object for extra grip which is not allowed by ICC rules. got it?

dude red handkerchief also provided sweat resistant in the hand and thus made better grip. and thats nothing wrong. Only people who cannot play will come up with all kinds of excuses.

Mr.Roshan, haven't you seen players wearing sweat absorbing bandanas or clothing around the neck or head? now some players do it some don't. so don't u think the players who wear it have an advantage over others, because they don't have to wipe sweat every now and then,and maybe concentrate more. so is that cheating? the point we should be able to distinguish between cheating and self innovation or beliefs. he could have got out of the first ball with the squash ball. don't you know some bowlers use extra padding in their shoes to get a better grip of the shoes. some batsmen use heavy pads,some use lighter pads which is all in the spirit of the game. there are advantages and disadvantages here and there in every field. wht about murali and malinga's actions? all the bowlers have more or less similar actions. malinga has an action which is very difficult to pick up for the batsman. so isn't that an advantage for the srilankan team over the others. you have to learn to take things in perspective. this same gilchrist walked, when he was given not out in the last world cup semifinal. and still the aussies won. accept that australia is a far superior team with or without squash ball in gilly's gloves. srilankans are bitter loosers. they didn't have anything for excuse and now they have got some silly reason. and as if gilchrist hasn't played like this before. i have seen him blasting the same srilankans time and again before. comeon,accept that gilly is an honest ,once in lifetime player and a genius. he would be the last player to cheat or be unetical. atleast the srilankans don't deserve to blame others.

hmmm, give the lankans a fair deal dude. its nothing out of ordinary that they protested. its a fair shout. okay aussies are good, but dont let them take things for granted. they routinely raise a ruckus when someone even remotely comes close to using anything new. even the Tv crew is mostly thiers - and they routinely show scenes that are only of interest to thier teams. when an aussie player is sledging, they are onto the ear-rings and pretty babes im sure.

gilchrist is one hell of a player, nothing to take from him or that match, rather it was a no-match - right now aussie team is playing out of thier skins. but yu've got something to protest against unfair use, sure thing, give it a good shout!

sportsmanship
by ashwani ojha on May 08, 2007 08:29 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

If adam gilchrist is feeling he is right in his approach, he must had informed this to Team Australia
and team Australia to ICC panel atleast before use of such techniques if they cant dare to tell this to umpire before game.

oh well, they arent going to bother telling it to anyone in particular im sure. but gilchrist is also a good sport. remember the time he walked out when he thought he was out to a tip catch ?

but its a good thing that lankans gotta protest. its not that aussie team is convicted.

Ms. Pallavi or Mr. Rajesh or both....

Shaun Tait also great chucker so did Brett Lee. If they r allowed by ICC then no more arguements. here Question is abt squash ball not abt bowling action. Hope u post realistic message next time

what does the rule says
by tvs kiran on May 08, 2007 08:05 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

if adam gilchrist uses squash ball for girp in the gloves, does icc rules permit to use such things for extra grip,
if permits its ok, otherwise he should be punished.
but i think ICC rules doesnt have any rules to take such action, if they have they would had made a statement till now.
batting grip is very important for any batsmens but they should be under law, but as far as i am concerned gilchrist did a wrong thing.

dude man,

rule says do not carry any object which is not meant to be a protection gear... but there is nothing written abt extra grip material.. ofcourse he played amazing innings.. but this issue will hurt him all through his life.

RE:what does the rule says
by sabteam on May 08, 2007 08:10 PM  Permalink
In rules there is nothing written that for Grip they can use any additional object. they allowed grip on the bat handle only. Additional protection wear is allowed to protect themselves. ICC dont make statement cos the player is from AUS. If any Indian, PAK or SL did this then they make huge cry on us. Gilchrist has to inform on field umpires b4 the match begins or he shud keep quite.. But i am still no idea how can squash ball helps a batsmen with better grip?
