BBL Match 28 Melbourne Stars v Sydney Sixers 9/1 1845hrs @ the MCG

That bounced

 

[Moonwatcher]

Clear catch but they took 20 replays to try and find a reason to give the Sydney player not out.

There's been a lot of heat on 3rd umpires recently

 

[Stig O'Hara]

No way the ump can see that

Apart from holding Caps & counting to 6, what in hell does an on field umpire do these days?

 

[sydney_gws]

He was finding 130 tough work then. Today rips one out at 144 at 40yo. He'll be bowling 160 when he's 50yo at this rate...lol.

He looks like he has been in the gym.

 

[Moonwatcher]

The ball probably hits the finger and the ground at the same time

I can't believe they gave that catch out, surely benefit of doubt.

Soft signal was out.

 

[Plugger35]

BBL umpires, I've seen better umpires in junior cricket with a couple of Dads umpiring.

And there's still just as much controversy as when we just listened to the umps with no reviews

 

[Jimthegreat]

That bounced.

I don't think fingers were under the ball at all.

Not from stump cam. Went straight in, no issue. 2D cameras from miles away tell you nothing. They all look like they bounce.

What doubt? Clearly hits the fingers, much easier to see on the flat pitch compared to the usual slips catches down a slope.

Having x ray vision isn't in the job description.

Yeah I'm finding it hard to see the controversy in this one.

 

[Plugger35]

Both Kerr and Dwarshuis can smoke them, I wouldn't write off the Sixers yet.

 

[Some Idiot]

He was finding 130 tough work then. Today rips one out at 144 at 40yo. He'll be bowling 160 when he's 50yo at this rate...lol.

I recall he once bowled 150kph on boxing day

 

[Andy_H]

Fingers were under the ball... after it bounced off the pitch.

Stump cam, which is at ground level. Straight into the hands.

 

[Plugger35]

Maxy dropping a sitter, too easy for him.

[The Sultan]

The stars are failing upward

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Nice mark Beau.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Siddle!

The big Slug isn't dropping them.

Webster showing Maxwell how to do it

 

[eddiesmith]

MCG just a bit too big for Dwarshuis.
