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

[Lunchtime]

Clearly pitched outside leg stump. Jaiswal survives. Good decision by umpire Joel Wilson.

 

[JimmyBC]

Bend ya back Marsh ya flog

 

[Gavin Excell]

Yeah not a good review

Was prob worth it

 

[Chism]

May as well play with 10 blokes with Spud Mitch in the team. He offers SFA with bat or ball.

 

[SSwans2011]

Is it like when someone is called "woke"?

That Pat Cummins ball before tea was woke.

 

[Donakebab]

not even umpires call on the pitching in line feels a bit harsh

There is no umpires call on the pitch of the ball, it's either inside or out.

 

[sosos]

Imagine the conversations Langer and Haydos would have had in the middle. How the **** they made any runs is amazing

Why not? No chance they would have distracted each other.

 

[Coasters7]

You're full of shit. It's day 2, it's when batting is supposed to be easiest.

The BBL is on in 2 hours, that might be more your speed I think.

Yeah that’s bullshit. Both innings are looking like 2/200+ and the only reason we didn’t make 600+ was because we tried to advance the game. No batsmen have really looked troubled so far aside from Konstas in the first 10 minutes yesterday. We could have batted for 2 days knocking it into gaps.

 

[Marshland]

I'm convinced Marsh is only there to fulfill some WA quota.

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Webster couldn't be any worse than Marsh until Green gets fit again

 

[SC_Power]

Sorry that's utter shit that more than half the ball needs to be pitching in line, if any part of the ball pitches in line it should be out

No way you should need half the ball pitching in line. As we found with the tennis the actual pitching is accurate, after that there can be variations.

Actually, I understand the thinking, but the process is that the whole ball doesn’t hit the pitch, only the bit actually hitting the ground which is usually the centre of the ball / seam when upright.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Bend ya back Marsh ya flog

It's the difference between Marsh and Myself.

If I didn't get a wicket within a few balls I'd ramp the pace up.

I was the in the Merv Hughes fielding position however

Wasn't clearly. Mm's. Plus, if there is one thing that is accurate with Ball Tracking it is where it pitches, hence why Tennis uses it. It is only projected after it pitches. A bad law.

 

[Magma]

There is no umpires call on the pitch of the ball, it's either inside or out.

There’s no margin of error on those, as you have exact positions.
Margin of error on projected ball position only unfortunately

Makes sense

Well it was clear to me. But remember, I used to be a cricket umpire.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Is that true?

It’s how it should be but didn’t realise it was. Should be the same for impact. It’s not predicting anything, surely it’s either inline or nit

 

[BGman]

Another edge from Jaiswal lol

Fell safely again.

Marsh has a paltry 51 @40. How is that remotely all round standard.

 

[Plugger35]

Go back to BBL, son. Test crickets are meant to span 5 days ideally.

Yeah I prefer this war of attrition than seeing wickets constantly tumble with the test over in 3 days.

 

[Doctor Feel]

AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

 

[Jimthegreat]

If 1mm of the ball is in line then it is in line as that part is accurate. That law needs to change.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Yeah not a good review

Not a successful review, but given that reviews are not used as originally stated (to eliminate the howler) it seems perfectly fine to review one that. A bit of a punt, but I can certainly see why it would have seemed out to the Australians.
If you're going to roll the dice, do it to one of the opposition's better batsmen once set and difficult to remove - don't miss what you believe might be a real chance for a potential game-breaking wicket.

 

[Magma]

oh my

 

[Pistol Night]

Marsh:

• No runs
• No wickets
• Now he's wasting our reviews

Probably takes all the Gatorade home too

 

[Stig O'Hara]

What a glorious calamity!!!
