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

[Bumpswithagrin]

So if Smith had taken the catch and it did hit the spidercam it would have been ruled 'not out' anyway which is ludicrous. Time to get rid of spidercam, why would you introduce things into the game that cause extra problems like this?

 

[GROTTO]

Yes they are, but unlike the pitches in India they dont spin much either

Would rather a ball spin in the first over on Day 1, then these flat batting tracks.

The ODIs are going to see some massive scores posted.

#BigFootyCricket pose your questions for Slats, Tubs and Binga?

When national obesity awareness day at the cricket?

Well who would have appealed the decision?

Slats...why are you such a pillock?

Dont, Tubs will just eat it.

The bloke who came up with 'road' when talking about a flat pitch, would be so happy with the threads from this test series.

 

[GROTTO]

What the FCUK does that value to the game???? The players association should vote to get it out.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

The commentary team are not going to attack the same people that use spidercam that also employ them.

If this was any other country, Warnie and co would have blasted the use of spidercam.

I'm talking about the ABC radio commentators not channel 9.

23 LAW 23 - DEAD BALL
law 23 shall apply subject to the addition of the following to law 23.4.
23.1 Law 23.4 – Umpire calling and signalling ‘Dead Ball’
In a match where cameras are being used on or over the field of play (e.g. Spydercam), should a ball that has been hit by the batsman make contact, while still
in play, with the camera, its apparatus or its cable, either umpire shall call and signal ‘dead ball’. The ball shall not count as one of the over and no runs shall be
scored. If the delivery was called a no ball it shall count and the no ball penalty applied. No other runs (including penalty runs) apart from the no ball penalty shall
be scored.
Should a ball thrown by a fielder make contact with a camera on or over the field of play, its apparatus or its cable, either umpire shall call and signal dead
ball. Unless this was already a no-ball or wide, the ball shall count as one of the over. All runs scored to that point shall count, plus the run in progress if the batsmen have already crossed.

Whoever came up with "cherry" should start collecting royalties with Warne in the box. He'd be a millionaire by the end of the next Ashes series.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

FFS just get rid of it. Bradman would be rolling in his grave, "If I hit spidercam a few times, that average of mine would have been over 100"

Only hitting the roof though. The rule was changed after finch hit the roof and it had cleared the rope. If I recall he hit the green bits that hang down on the wings.

The person that came up with 'maximum' for a six needs to be kicked in the backside.

 

[Sprout]

Fair shot.

Chaos ball....

You really haven't met that many elite level sportsman. It's amazing how so many of them have the personality of a wet lettuce leaf

to play top line sport you have to be either incredibly dedicated with shitloads of will power to concentrate. Or you need to be the brett lee kind who doesn't think, he just "does". See ball get ball types from AFL is a classic one.

Every elite athlete i've met has had no personality. A guy at my work is a gold medalist, and the common comment is that "when everyone else was growing up and becoming a human being he was off training"

I remember meeting Steve Hooker on New Years Eve once, that bloke had a lot of personality.

Alcohol helped bring it out ?

Usually does for most people.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Watsons reaction to that drop was hilarious

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Lyon has been great today thus far.

 

[boncer34]

9 have footage of a bee getting laid and cameras covering every single angle.

Haven't been able to find one that proves spider cam wasn't involved? Yeah ok.
