4th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy December 26-30 1000hrs @ the MCG

[Ekomaira]

Reddy robbed of red ink

 

[Plugger35]

That controversial call didn't matter much with no more runs added.

A lead just over 100 which gives India a chance of a win if they can roll Australia cheaply in the second innings.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Thanks goodness that questionable ”not out” call didn’t cost Australia.

 

[danielnajdek]

Now to watch us collapse.

 

[grumbleguts]

Full on cheating

 

[Voice of the G]

That is a terrible decision.

Benefit of doubt always goes to the batsman,move on and has not cost us any more runs any way.

 

[smasha]

Better check with the 3rd umpire to see if that's out

They would have rushed to try to find a no ball the campaigners.

 

[ABAB]

Full on cheating

If those are the vision the 3rd umpire was seeing and he didn't even look at the side vision.......

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Lets see if the kid can do it again... Cmon Sam.

We actually need quick runs too here.

 

[ptrg]

Looked not out to me. Not that it matters much.

But even if you're of the belief that it was a dead heat, no one could come to the conclusion the 3rd umpire did from that single front on angle that "it has bounced after hitting the bat"

He must be sacked

 

[PhatBoy]

Thanks goodness that questionable ”not out” call didn’t cost Australia.

What was questionable about it? The side on replay literally showed the ball bouncing a couple of inches behind his bat.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Full on cheating

The bump ball? It’s the umpires that make the decisions not the Indians

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

If those are the vision the 3rd umpire was seeing and he didn't even look at the side vision.......

He clearly just rushed the call and didn't ask if there were other angles

 

[Around the Wicket]

Ball was hitting the ground when ball made contact with bat so right call imo

 

[PhatBoy]

Full on cheating

Let’s be honest, you’d claim it was cheating if an Australian was given out with his middle stump shattered in three spots.

 

[Hamingja]

Odds of Konstas getting cleaned bowled trying to lap Bumrah?

 

[smasha]

Still great batting conditions.
Ball is in Australia's court.
Now we hope the pitch deteriorates tomorrow.

 

[ptrg]

It's been shown they only see what we see - happened in Perth, as he only had the one angle, which we the viewers also saw on loop.
It's purely down to the host provider to give him (and us) the angles.

In this case, it's far worse, as he didn't even request another angle

 

[Speck]

See off Bumrah's first spell then we can think about the total.

Or if Bumrah is all over them ramp him into Yarra Park!!

 

[Ekomaira]

Full on cheating

it makes the fact they couldn't wait to give our number 11 out LBW twice when he wasn't out

 

[Fabab]

They keep talking young sam up,hopefully not setting him up to fail.

 

[Aussie pie]

This is so easy to predict. Sam out for single figures. The media has pumped him up so much and he played so really crap shots first inning but got lucky. It’s the karma of sport.

 

[ABAB]

Still great batting conditions.
Ball is in Australia's court.
Now we hope the pitch deteriorates tomorrow.

If the pitch hasn't deteriorate today, it won't deteriorate tomorrow.

 

[eddiesmith]

So even after replays clearly showing it bounced after the bat, people are still complaining and calling the umpire a cheat.

You’d think the decision had cost Australia something other than the captain a wicket after he bowled himself only as the no11 was on strike.

 

[grumbleguts]

Benefit of doubt always goes to the batsman,move on and has not cost us any more runs any way.

There is no such rule. And it was beyond doubt.
