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

[Adelaide Hawk]

FFS Australia. India scoring at will right now. If these two are still there at Tea, India will win it.

 

[Bungeye]

I see saliva on the ball...time for a change of ball.

 

[dumb]

it's Andrew McGlashan on comms currently at cricinfo

 

[Westend]

Has there ever been a more ridiculously lucky rat than Jaiswal

very lucky cricketer plays and misses too much ...will have a series where he Knicks them and his average will nose dive

 

[balmainforever]

Gutless umpiring. The knee roll has always been the guide. Front leg, close. Back leg, out.

It hit above the knee roll though.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Cricinfo getting annoyed with all of those who are telling them Jaiswal should have been given out

Ive often wondered where they get their quotes/comments from...x?

 

[Joffaboy]

In fairness, it seemed to be an extended discussion between the Aussies before committing to the review. Although that may have just been because Cummins and co. could see what was about to unfold.

I would say that the burnt review does have SOME value though. Having seen the review, surely if there's a similar instance of a battery getting trapped in front as the day continues, it's more likely to be given out on the field by the umpire?

Not burnt, retained.

We always seem to be unlucky when Joel Wilson is involved

It's beyond a joke noe

it is a pattern when he umpires us

Back leg.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Even if top of bail, it looks less than 50% to me (but hard to tell exactly) based on the white lines (that I drew myself) below. Still think this should be out and the 50% rule is a bit dumb in this situation when it is 3/4 inside leg stump, and hitting half a bail. That should be enough.

How are you getting screen shots?

Where you've drawn that line is clearly below the top of the bail and it looks like >50% under your line, to my eye, which would consititute an over-rule of the umpire's decision if I had my way of using the "top of the bail"... but yeah, I agree the rule could do with a bit of tweaking when it comes to the umpire's call zone for height.

 

[Mr Meow]

I've seen Australia get lucky over the years - it just happens. Cricket like all sports....any team needs a bit of luck.

Yes I know your stance on these matters.

Every nation has good and bad supporters.

Every team gets good and bad luck.

Etc etc. People are still allowed to comment on what they see. Australia have been unlucky today and that can be pointed out without needing to recall historical lucky incidents.

 

[Swanny69]

Too clever by half standing up to Boland .. bowling back of a length Paul Collingwood stuff now

 

[Kapow!!!]

Look the cartoon is projected trajectory, it is a guide, it was close but the umpire needs to be confident to give on field decisions.

He also needs to give the benefit of the doubt to the batsman

If that according to the technology is umpires call and outside of the margin of error, then the technology is stuffed and shouldn’t be used.

You can write in and they publish what they feel like. It's at the bottom of the page

He didn't yesterday. He trigger fingered Marnus.

Wilson doesn't want to be guilty of burning us again. He'll probably give the next 50/50.

Why?

 

[Roosurgence]

Look the cartoon is projected trajectory, it is a guide, it was close but the umpire needs to be conpetent to give on field decisions.

I'm at the ground
Support for India is overwhelming

its not the technology ....thats on the ump for me...if you don't give those outs you don't deserve to officiate the game

 

[The 747]

I'm glad Pant tends to throw his wicket away. Batting looks so easy for him.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Yeah but past (erroneous or otherwise) decisions shouldn't impact current ones. It's tough but play on and move on
