5th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy January 3-7 1000hrs @ the SCG

[ibd77]

Unlucky Smith but good call by the video ump. Ball rolled out and hit the ground.

 

[Gough]

Pre DRS Kohli would have walked, now nobody's ever out.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

FFS.

A tiny margin.

That was out.
He had control of the ball.
More ICC shenanigans.

Its not about control. you can control it and still make contact with the grass.

Its the second movement where he brushes the ball on the grass that screwed it.

 

[MJG14]

Surprised there wasn't an angle from the other side.

Wilson never avoids controversy

 

[Southerntakeover]

Of course India is going to get favourable umpiring after their carry on last week.

 

[Bedi]

if Smith meant to flick that up it was a super human effort

 

[troybe]

Joel’s seeing eye dog gave that decision

 

[HK_Hawk]

That’s what happens when you get the powerful BCCI acting like a petulant child. Joel is a goose

 

[Moonwatcher]

Finger under the ball

 

[Joffaboy]

I thought it touched the ground

[ams4crows]

Half the catches in the 90's were not out then, there are slips catch paid that touch the ground more than that

 

[Magma]

his fingers are under it the whole time. joel wilson needs to be put out to pasture

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Fingwrs under it whole time

Hard to tell, may have been index finger, then ground, then thumb and forefinger. Or it might not have had the ground portion.
Given its not overturning an on-field decision, the old tradition (never a rule) of benefit of the doubt seems reasonable.

 

[Coasters7]

It’s allowed to touch the ground if his fingers are under it. It wasn’t supported by the grass like you’d see in the ones with the fingers above the ball

 

[grumbleguts]

How does this f**king cheat keep his f**king job.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Would've been a beauty. Move on but I do think Joel Wilson is lucky to have any sort of gig at this level after last test and he was not given an easy one there

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Might be Kohli's day. Reckon he will score well for once.

 

[Goroyals22]

Joel can still do damage on the tv

You are right. They wern't out.

 

[kickazz]

Not out unfortunately. Ball has just rolled out of his fingers.

Agreed. You could argue a case that the finger was always under, but surely enough doubt. I'm more than 50% confident it touched the ground.


Shame though, spoiled the moment big time.

 

[Blues_Man]

Unlucky Smith but good call by the video ump. Ball rolled out and hit the ground.

Go get your eyesight tested, smith's thumb was holding the ball off the grass, definitely out and Wilson has shown again what a cheat he actually is.

 

[hawkman]

Think it did catch the ground as he was flicking it up so fair decision

 

[Doggy]

Of course India is going to get favourable umpiring after their carry on last week.

Third umpire Joel Wilson

 

[Duck Farmer]

lol - Wilson can't even get it right after 5 mins of DRS.

 

[Plugger35]

That looked the right call to me, some Aussie supporters here have Joel Wilson derangement syndrome.
