Third umpire; Sachin OUT! Hussey NOT OUT! WTF is this?

Sachin Tendulkar is perhaps the batsman who got out the maximum numbers of times because of poor / wrong decision by umpires. And people call it 'Human errors' and its a part n parcel of the game! But, then what about the Third umpires? 3rd umpire gets enough time & technology.. .so cannot give excuses!

In the Match between RCB and MI, Sachin was given out by the third umpire... It was very very close call... The famous theory 'Element of doubt should always go in favor of the batsman' does not apply in Sachin's cases?

It was ruled OUT! The element of doubt did not favor the batsman. It was a very very close call. In the available frame after the bails came off, he had crossed the line.

Now see the pictures of CSK vs Punjab match. Hussey was clearly out! and the  third umpire ruled it NOT OUT!

There wasn't any 'element of doubt!' His bat was on the line when the bails came off. The commentators, were stunned to see the decision... Stephen fleming, CSK coach, hussey... all were laughing! WTF?

Words of Sunil Gavasker while the decision was pending...

"Yes i think he is just a little bit short... the bails come off bat is up in the air as well...i think M. hussey willl hav to make the walk back to the pavln... the bat hasnt paased the line... it is an easy call for the umpire..."

and the other commentator when the decision came: "YOU ARE KIDDING ME!"

Third umpire errors can not be considered as human errorrs!


This blog post was published weeks before the match fixing controversy! and we don't doubt Hussey or any players, the mentions about Stephen Fleming, CSK coach are not in that way. We know that they laughed because of the surprise!

Sachin's tons and the critics' percentage analysis blunder!

I happened to see a post by A 'legendary mathematician', Vineeth in his blog post!  against one of our status

In that he was trying to contradict our statement, "Sachin has more match winning centuries than Ricky Ponting has in total" – telling that it is the stupidest argument.

Since he is a mathematician, he proved it mathematically and it says win % when Ponting Scores a 100 is 83.33%.

Vineeth mathematically analyzed Saurav Ganguly's winning percentage also... as he is playing in Sachin’s team.

We have seen so many other people saying blah blah... about the century and the percentage!

So we also decided to go mathematically! and u know what? The results seems to be shocking. We have discovered another match winner!! (This is just to show you the authenticity of mathematical explanation, and we did just for 'mathematical' purpose...)

Check out our analysis.... :D

A tail end batsman, say... Prasad tries to score century in 20 matches in whom he got, let’s say over 30 overs to bat, He fails in 19 occasions! And finally he manages  to score 1 ton!  and team wins it.

Let’s take last three matches, and our Sachin also scores  a century in the same match!  Unfortunately, he had scored 2 centuries in the previous 2 matches!  And our ‘great’ bowlers including this tail ender had won  the match for the other team...!!

And the status read like this:

Venkatesh Prasad is d greatest match winner! Because of the  % of winning when he scores a ton is 100%

Wow! All hail Prasad!!!

Yea... because...

Sachin’s percentage!   3 tons and the team won in 1 is just 33%
Prasad’s percentage! 1 ton and the team won in 1 is 100%

I’m not a mathematician to analyze like Vineeth did!! all hail Vineeth! :)

Let me say to hell with youur percentage blunder... critics... :-|


Remember Vineeth, if Sachin had not scored those 16 tons in lost games, he would have had 100% winning percentage now! He helped our team to keep its head high in those matches! Also please keep in mind that we didn’t have legends like Warne, Mc Grath...!

Sachin is just 1 among the 11 players playing for the team. His duty is to score runs, and did it well in those 16 occasions, with incredible strike rates in almost all occasions! It wasn't his duty to take wickets and win the match! Even though he has did it many times... :)

Kumar Sangakkara: India have not lost so many matches becoz of Tendulkar; they have lost because of poor team performances.
