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

[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

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?

Probably nothing.

That Adelaide win was about a 1 in 100 chance. This would be a similar win to Adelaide 2014, India were only two down at tea on day 5 before a rampant final session.

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

Who's supposed to be cheating? Jaiswal? The third umpire?

Feel like a douche sitting at home in a suit.

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

He is wearing shorts though.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

A couple of good Yorkers here needed

Or shorter at the body. They aren't really pulling the bat/gloves away when leaving, so it will most likely hit the gloves and balloon up

 

[Lunchtime]

Really, the amount of whinging and playing the victim about umpiring on here by Australian fans is borderline AFL Match Day thread levels.

Yep

 

[Headless]

Source?

Apologies - got my wires crossed. Not a grouse game. I'll be better.

The clear deflection outweighs snicko per Simon Taufel.

And why would snicko show something when it skims off the glove?

 

[SC_Power]

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.

Vaseline on the bat edges I think

 

[JimmyBC]

If India lose they'll go berserk on social media

 

[troybe]

Very sharp chance

 

[Stig O'Hara]

If that was a stubbie….

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

The whole Warne era and we didn't produce one half decent leggie. Shameful

 

[Pistol Night]

Vaseline on the bat edges I think

Wow. Who was the first one to come up with that and how?

 

[freo_leo29]

Why does Deep look competent all of a sudden

 

[largebus]

I like Trav but a better short fielder would've got that

 

[Bulldogs85]

If India lose they'll go berserk on social media

Already have gone berserk on social media

 

[Outtatym]

Apologies - got my wires crossed. Not a grouse game. I'll be better.

Straight out of the Tom Morris playbook backpedaller

 

[eddiesmith]

The correct decision was made and it’s fired up the game, but all the abuse for Jaiswal for questioning the umpire is a bit over the top.

Did everyone go all out attacking Cummins and Smith for their 5 minute long tantrum yesterday morning after another correct 3rd umpire decision?

 

[Pistol Night]

If India lose they'll go berserk on social media

If they win or draw they will too

 

[boncer34]

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

He got confirmation. And then still argued.

 

[BGman]

Only 18 overs left. Wrap it boys.

 

[Ulahoopski]

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.

Seeking clarification (assuming that's what he was talking about) lead to all the vitriolic numpties branding him a "cheat" and a "whinger". Pathetic reactions yet again from your average Oz cricket fan

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Vaseline on the bat edges I think

They used sponsors strips on the side of the bat too.

 

[revo333]

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.

lol, the angle behind the stumps showed a clear deflection.

 

[tugga]

An Aussie batter would be called a cheat for what Jaiswal did.
(I don’t think jaiswal cheated. He’s entitled not to walk)
