Can choose between Webster bowling 125kph on a good length or Marnus bowling 130kph half trackers
New? They have both faced 30+ balls
Gavaskar on now for more biased analysis of TV umpire decisions.

Not much sun protection with a bucket on your head.
Still not as bad as the old watermelon helmets, imagine wearing one of those on a hot day at the cricket, you'd have to be mad.

Asking for Gavaskar's opinion. Good one Tim.
Why did he not ask Sunil about the 2D aspect of TV angles he banged on about with Jaiswal.

It's pretty cruel to think we've ended up with commentators like him for Test matches. Say what you want about the old Channel 9 vintage but there are a few in this current team that are a tougher listen.
Ask why this one wasn't an optical illusion

You beat me to it. Exactly what I was thinking.
I've been watching cricket for 40 plus years. It's only the advent of DRS and HDTV / 4K TV that we can scrutinise decisions further.
What we all fail to remember is that batter should always get the benefit of the doubt and the doubt was there.
There's no excuse for anyone over the age of 10 for wearing one of those things.

Discussing the catch again
Blewett (out), Lane (out), Gavaskar (not out)
2-1 in the box
2-1 in the series
I wonder if Smith had of caught it solely, if it'd have been an out decision.
The doubt seems to be around the motion of flicking it up and where the ball were in that moment

How are we using that one still image as evidence? If you roll the vision through in real time it tells a very different story.
Using slow mo zoomed camera angles and pausing every frame you can always talk yourself into it “touching the ground”.

None of the bowlers seem to be troubling the batsmen.

I don't think the Australian ex-cricketers are less biased than he is, they are all biased towards their old team apart from Richie.
