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

[beside the seaside]

Bloody hell, umpire couldn't raise his finger fast enough there, looked like it was missing, and Mrs even shows its only just clipping. Terrible lbw call

Nah

 

[Joffaboy]

About time an umpires call went Indias way, but no way any umpire should be giving those not out.

Looked out, surprised it was only clipping.

[Magma]

if he stands up straight after getting hit it might not get given

 

[010203]

270+ will still take some chasing. I'd still expect the target to more than 300.

 

[t_94]

Not the most fluent but that 70 is better than most hundreds given the series is on a knife’s edge.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

Your Mrs has a good eye.

Intentional (just like the Mrs, it's always right, even when it's not)

 

[FreoRicci]

Unfortunate umpires call. That really could’ve gone either way.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Konstas’s revving of the crowd up has seemingly got to India

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Throw the bat now lads, no point trying to defend and prod around

 

[nurries]

Why does the Indian team always seem to have a couple of absolute ****wits in it?

Cos there’s a lot of ****wits in India

 

[kickazz]

Good game.

Geez the voices of the commentators are so different.

Ravi Shastri, so good. He seriously should read audio books. Would be great.

Howie. Just grates. Hurts the ears.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Looked out to me live, fair call imo.

Tend to agree. Was surprised DRS had it so close.

 

[Gethelred]

I'm getting a bit annoyed now.

They're treating balls outside the stumps they'd mistreat for fun in other formats like they're bowling hand grenades.

Step to the ball, push the ****er into the cover gap, and get off strike. Don't let them string dots at you.

 

[Joffaboy]

Why does the Indian team always seem to have a couple of absolute ****wits in it?

They seem to be emotionally immature, the BCCI protects them, and their simp supporters can't see any wrong in being a child.

[Speck]

Less ball hitting the stumps than there was ball pitching in-line on one Australia reviewed earlier in the match. Need to do away with umpires call and move it a system where a percentage of the ball is hitting

Pretty sure it's already like that but just isn't shown on the graphic - the ball hitting represents a 50% likelihood that it would hit the stumps.

Pitching in line should also never have umpires call as its factual rather than predictive.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

So? You feel bad enough dropping them without your alleged team mates reacting like that.

Kohli goes way too hard with the passion. He doesn't care how it looks though.

Mate he was hit above the knee roll a few paces out of his crease. That's barely hitting if at all.

 

[barrackers]

Shame he didn’t go on, but at least has given us something to defend

 

[Saint12]

Good bowling on an excellent pitch is turning this game into an all time classic

 

[The hands of stone]

If you bowl well you should defend 270 plus here . There is enough in the deck

 

[Roosurgence]

**** this Umpires Call shit.

Most decisions are Umpires Call now. Just make it one or the other. Clipping is out or not out regardless of the umpires decision.

 

[Zevon]

India helped themselves to a 127 run partnership when their 8th wicket pair was in yesterday… can we have one of those please?

 

[Spirit Level]

Cos there’s a lot of ****wits in India

If the cricket team is a microcosm of the country as a whole, my wish to never go there seems to be justified.

It is a percentage.

Bloody hell, umpire couldn't raise his finger fast enough there, looked like it was missing, and Mrs even shows its only just clipping. Terrible lbw call

It’s why umpires call is complete bullshit. So many times I see one team get the umps call out and the other gets it the umps call in.

Completely changes the match.

Just you watch in the chase I bet that will happen LBW out but ump no finger and goes to umps call.

Trust the technology take the ump out of it. ( Yes I know that would be out with that)

Tied test brewing here

Mo' Lyon to trap Siraj lbw for the last wicket with Ravi Shastri commentating (pretty sure Ravi was the not out non-striker from 1986)
