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

I really couldn't tell if there was deflection. Too many of the angles we got were slowed down so much the path of the ball, and any path change, were hard to make out.

Try opening your eyes next time you watch it

 

[peternorth]

Common sense prevailed that night also.

Which night?

 

[Struggle]

While the 3rd umpire made the right call, his reasoning for part of it was also very suspect.

When he asked for a freeze frame and then said 'I can see clearly it is touching the glove', that's not something that should inform the call. Single frames can be misleading and there was nothing conclusive about that frame at all.

It was the obvious deflection using multiple frames that was conclusive.

Yep the front on vision was all he needed. A side on view to confirm no visible gap and its good to go.

He's had no idea what he was doing

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

That decision went over really well with the Indian fans here at the ground. Now we've got 'cheater' chants.

So even Indian fans agree on Jaiswal

 

[Pistol Night]

There were a couple of series where it seemed batsmen, especially the poms, had found some trick to get around it. Smashed a couple that showed nothing.

Bats made of ice knowing those flogs

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

A couple of good Yorkers here needed

 

[Joffaboy]

I appreciate Taufel coming on but he needs a better mic. Is he doing it from home and he just gets a call from the commentary team every controversial call?

Feel like a douche sitting at home in a suit.

The clear deflection outweighs snicko per Simon Taufel.

Why can’t they use that ball tracking tech that Fox showed immediately after the decision? That made it clear as day for anyone blind enough to not see it live

2006 Adelaide test is termed Amazing Adelaide (yes, someone stayed up all night coming up with that).


If Australia Cricket Team (R) wins, what will Melbourne be called?

Australia's been in front the whole match. It's like a side kicking five goals to nothing in the first quarter, and although the opposition sometimes gets within ten points, they've never actually hit the front.

 

[Aussie pie]

Why no hot spot?

Hot spot has not been used for a few seasons now. It’s too expensive for all the test countries to use so if all can’t use it, no one uses it.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Jaiswal carried on for a bloke who knew he hit it. Pretty poor. Yeah the DRS was confusing but the right decision was made in the end. They can’t look at the footage and think otherwise

 

[Borisdog]

Cricindia saying it was to far away from the mic

It looked to me on the replay that it caught up with his index finger when he was through the shot.

 

[hoopla]

Pretty clearly that if there was nothing on snicko doesn't think he can be given out.

Nup. Wrong

 

[Ulahoopski]

What ****ing scum. Knew he was out a tried to cheat his way to staying in.

So waiting for a confirmation is called cheating these days is it? Numpty.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

74k at Day 5.
**** me

 

[Maddo11]

Only 6 more overs of bumpers please, once the new ball is available pitch it up

 

[SC_Power]

Those countries allow us to use it with no issue

So, yeah, blame India

So Australia want to use it (not a part of DRS but complementary to it) so everyone else has to?

Ah ok, thanks for the clarification.

 

[Pistol Night]

Australia's been in front the whole match. It's like a side kicking five goals to nothing in the first quarter, and although the opposition sometimes gets within ten points, they've never actually hit the front.

Like the 89 GF seen as the greatest ever

 

[Moonwatcher]

Not his job to walk. Umpires job to give players out.
Brayshaw giving it to Wilson.

Ricky Ponting on 7 claiming you know he hit it because he stepped towards the dressing room.

 

[Gammalite]

So what did he say to them exactly? You just assume he was "arguing".

He was questioning should he stay because Snicko showed nothing.

It was waaay up high, so mic just didn't pick it up . came off bat face and soft glove. that's all.

huge deflection in the scheme of things. Back to the Pavilion for that bad shot.

 

[Headless]

Grouse game.

 

[GreekLunatic]

Sundar should be above pant he values his wicket

 

[smasha]

74k plus crowd.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Grouse game.

Source?

 

[THE A5]

Haven't used it all series. Too expensive and unreliable apparently. Interesting because I always found it to be a better tool than snicko

Yeah I thought it was reliable too but I guess I’m wrong. Surely both in tandem could be good source for calls like that. I thought third ump was kinda bold and some might might not be as bold with that visual judgement especially if the deflection isn’t as strong
