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

I can see why there's doubt on that catch. I'm fine with not out, particularly as there was no soft call from the umpire.

 

[madjoe]

Get Beau on

ready for the melts when he bowls 125km ?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Ball is 10 overs old. unlikely.

Seaming and get him into the game

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It’s seaming you don’t have to bowl 145k

 

[Southerntakeover]

The decision could go either way. The umpire immediately declaring, barely before a replay is shown, that the ball has 'rolled' on the ground goes beyond credulity.

This is the same guy that wasn't able to see either knick last week.

 

[Bungeye]

This is getting boring...get Webster on already!

 

[King Elvis]

Benefit of the doubt, fair enough. My issue is the several catches this series which have been "caught" between the fingers whilst scraping the ground that have been given out

The Starc non-catch in the Ashes has caused a ton of problems.

It was a clear catch, stating otherwise has now caused a ridiculous precedent where if the ball touches the grass in anyway, it's not out.

Fingers under it, IN CONTROL, should be out every time.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Yeah how do we only have 2 angles at a ground like this

It's a shithole

 

[grumbleguts]

He ****ed us in the 2019 Ashes and continues to do so

It's very suspicious at this point

If it were incompetence he be against australia stochastically but it's consistent. The boundary call in the 2022 ashes where the ball rolls halfway up the toblerone and he watched the replay 20 times rock-'n'-rolling it and then found it's not a boundary was absolute evidence the man is a corrupt cheat.

 

[F6Typhoon]

The ball may have brushed a blade of grass, but if you are intelligent enough to see how Smiths fingers are under the ball from the very start, and then he even gets his thumb curled under the ball, which keeps it up. It's a catch every day of the week for those who have played the game:

Curator’s fault for not mowing shorter!

 

[k31th]

nice fielding Konstas; good hustle

Have to admit, watch our fans whinge about Indians whinging is another way to enjoy this test match.

As good as realising when I’ve been whinging about Crows fans whinging, you don’t notice it at the time but it’s kinda dark funny when noticed afterwards. Like I’m now whinging about Australian fans whinging about Indian fans, and no doubt someone will whinge about me whinging, etc.

Fleming would no doubt call it “the corridor of whinging”.

 

[Woody15]

Good decision IMO. If his index finger was truly under the ball, it would be closer to the seam. It appears to have rolled over to the side and touched the ground unfortunately. Rules are rules.

 

[ams4crows]

Ok can the commentators stop talking about it now and talk about what's happening in the game now

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Re Starc's wicket, I have a theory that if you place a slips cordon either side of the square leg umpire and bowled at the stumps, you'd get as many catches with that tactic as you do catches in the slips by bowling in the corridor

Needed my square leg cordon there

 

[k31th]

LBW or caught... which haha I like this review but might be going over...

Walkway of Whinging more likely.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Reviewed :O

 

[Joffaboy]

Seriously, do we have a definitive rule regarding this touching the ground.

Starc's catch was fingers over the ball and on the ground, so different.
My question is according to the rules, can a finger he under part of the ball and part touching the ground and be deemed touching the ground or not?

I think Wilson is incompetent and should be removed from the elite panel, but a difficult decision and with the technology looks to touch the ground.

[Southerntakeover]

Odds on Wilson seeing a clear reason its not out without needing technology?

 

[Run n Spread]

That's out

 

[ams4crows]

Great another one sent to Joel Wilson ffs

 

[King Elvis]

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

Impressive he's managed to throw it in the air then.

I can see the ball rolling around....

He has made that up straight away to cover his arse knowing he wanted to give it not out. The ball didn't roll anywhere. How was no camera angle shown from behind Smiths hand. His thumb is also under the ball to flick it up.

 

[Aussie pie]

The third umpire with an ear piece to the ICC/BCCI. “Joel India says it’s not out and they are already sooking. If you give it out they’ll never shut up about it.”
