Australia vs India @ SCG - Jan 6-10 - Day 3

[ptrg]

They showed the shot from spidercam, if the ball hit the wire, the camera would have shook wouldn't it?

The counter balance weights & gyros would be more than enough to offset any movement due to the ball hitting the wire.. If it can stand wind, quick sudden movements, it can stand a slight deflection of a ball hitting the wire..

Channel 9 already making excuses not to ask Smith..

 

[TN25]

Good stuff by Hads but I don't think it's out

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Was taking the piss with my last post, obviously the wire has got in the way, but I'm more interested in what would happen if it created a catch? I.e. a batsman hits it, all of a sudden hits spidercam and deviates and a fielder gets a catch he otherwise wouldn't have. Is that just shit luck? Or should the fielding side withdraw their appeal in the name of cricket?

Would be a dead ball.

 

[Pera]

Front foots in anyways you idiots lol

 

[BG32]

RIP Australian fielding. Has turned to pure shit of late, a 12yr old could have caught that and also got that run out earlier. Dont get me started on the tests before this aswell

 

[Showbags]

I thought he mouthed the word "why".

I like all the lip-reading experts here.

As far as we know, and won't learn anything more until a player talks to the media, Smith just got flustered with the sun and everything.

"Why"

WTF he clearly says "The Wire".

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

sour grapes

Well let's see, caught at bat pad, not out despite definitive edge, should have been run out a little later and then a drop catch. The way you've carried on all summer don't throw stones in glass houses.

It's supposed to be a dead ball if it hits spidercam (and presumably associated wires).

 

[BG32]

It would. Their batting has been really good this series

them roads though bro and our shit fielding

It's considered a dead ball if it hits the spider cam.

So it obviously didn't hit the wire then or it would have been a dead ball?

Just keep reading sweetheart

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Still shaking my head over the Cummins/Haddin idiocy. Really set the tone for more fails as the session went on.

 

[Underdog]

Spidercam offers so fckn little benefit why have it at all. I don't mind it when a wicket is fallen but it's shocking how it's allowed.

Agreed. The footage from it is woeful. Why bother?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Yeah I assume so.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Might have been some glare off it or something that put him off and not the ball actually hitting the wire.

Cricket >>> wacky camera angles.

 

[Donakebab]

Smith strikes me as the kind of bloke who is quick to blame anything and anyone but himself. Was a dolly and hes blamed a thin bit of wire.

And how did you form this baseless conclusion?

 

[Reykjavik]

How far this side has fallen in the field. Nothing short of useless for the last two matches.

Has been pretty terrible. Just constant lapses in concentration.

 

[estibador]

Yeah I assume so.

We can probably cut out the spidercam outrage then and admit Smith just stuffed up.

The sun may have made things tough though.

 

[treefingers]

spider cam, spider cam, does whatever a spider cam does

 

[danielnajdek]

I like Smith but that dropped catch was a bit of karma after how he reacted after that stuffed up run out.

If it did hit spidercam isn't one hand off spidercam

 

[The GOAT]

Pretty disappointing 2-0 victory coming up. Could have been so much better with even half decent fielding

 

[GROTTO]

Agreed. The footage from it is woeful. Why bother?

Why dont they just fly the parrot drone during the cricket lol????

 

[estibador]

From the angle of the spidercam replay it looked like it was still behind him when he put his hand up to shield his eyes though.
