Test India v New Zealand (3 Tests)

[Plugger35]

Conway out lbw.

Replays showing that he got a tickle on it and he didn't review it.

 

[sabso]

Michael Clarke has a 6/9, Root a 5 for in test innings

One innings doesn't make you a good test spinner

Jason krejza and roston chase have 8 fors as well

Ajaz Patel might disagree.

 

[Borisdog]

We just need to get to 150 with the bat here with a lead of 103 and we should be favourites to win this test and this test series.

A 250 of 350 would be even better, that could just about bat India out of the game.

If I were you lot I’d want to bat all day tomorrow at least. Unlikely but that’s what they should be thinking.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Sundar strikes again with the big wicket of Ravindra. I still think NZ will have enough, but it should be an entertaining chase should the final target be under 300.

 

[Plugger35]

Washington bowling the Wonderkid.

Time for Daryl Mitchell to stand up.

 

[BStaff17]

This is NZ's once in a lifetime opportunity to win a test series in India.

Tell me will they ever get a better opportunity up 1-0 and a 100+ run first innings lead in the 2nd test on a turning wicket batting first then what they have now.

Imagine Tom Latham captaining NZ to a series win in India.

Almost immortality for ever in NZ cricket.

 

[Plugger35]

Latham bringing up a good captain's fifty, he needs to turn that into a great captain's hundred.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Bloody hell, that's a dumb shot from Mitchell when you're in cruise control.

 

[Rabish Binney]

India bit of a rabble at the moment.

 

[RookiePick]

Illingworth knows where his paycheck is coming from

 

[MJG14]

Rough call from Illingworth. Latham deserved a hundred.

 

[ptrg]

So bullshit that entire aspect of DRS. We know precisely where it impacted, just like where it pitched. It either pitched in line, or it didnt.
How much of that ball "impacted" in line with the stumps? Ridiculous.
And that's ignoring the fact a ball turning away after pitching miraculously changes direction and goes straight on after impact

 

[LukeParkerno1]

What’s the issue it was hitting. 50/50 and they don’t lose a review anyway.

 

[MJG14]

Indian commentators think it was a great call of course.

How come when, if 51% of the ball pitches outside leg stump, it's an instant not out regardless of unpires call?
Why - because it happened, we know where it pitched.
And we also know where it first impacted.
But the same reasonable logic isn't applied - instead, like the guess of whether it's hitting the wickets, umpires call becomes an option.

It makes zero sense. If the umpire gave that Latham decision not out, he would still be batting.

How can you have two possible outcomes from a known impact point? Surely the tech can pin point the spot, just like where it pitches, and decide solely off that?

 

[Plugger35]

The lead is close to 300, we just need another hundred runs to nail the door shut on India and seal a test series win.

 

[Rabish Binney]

Good nights viewing….both India and the Poms on the back foot in the respective tests….

Umpires call is exactly that a judgement it’s not that hard to understand. It’s why they use the reds and oranges in the graphic. It was a 50/50 call that went against the bat, another one will go the other way, that’s cricket. Could always play straight and not play a sweep

The impact is still decided by a human as the impact is often between frames even with the multiple cameras used for eagle eye. Hence there is a margin of error and umpires call.

Where it pitched can also be caught between frames as well but the ball is on a natural trajectory for pitching so they can calculate it with enough accuracy to not need umpires call whereas impact is somewhat random due to the batter.

In between frames? We are told that they use 6 ultra high speed, 1000fps cameras. How can there possibly be "between frames"? Obviously there technically is, but even at the balls speed, the distance travelled in-between two of these frames would be miniscule.

Have any of the operators in recent times confirmed that they still hand plot the impact point? That's a huge flaw in the system if one technician from the home countries broadcaster is choosing that point of impact (or any single person for that matter)

Yeah they showed that they did on a Fox segment with Mark Howard last year. I didn't realise they did until that segment.

I know you're very passionate about this so I'll see if I can find it for you.

New Zealand are well placed, sorry very well placed to inflict India's first home test series defeat since Julia Gillard was Australia's Prime Minister.

 

[PhatBoy]

Might be a broad generalisation but aside from the pure lack of patience in most batsmen as a rule, but I think the biggest impact of the IPL in particular less so twent20 as a format, is just how generically poor Indian players are of spin. Yes they’re probably better than most, and if you put them on a normal Asian pitch against the same attack as a SENA counterpart they are probably a bit more likely to score runs but the gap is so much smaller now.

 

[imagifED]

Pressure on Aus to deliver this summer. We have New Zealand who struggled against Sri Lanka dominating India whereas our supposed "greatest bowling attack" who never beat India away could lose 3 consecutive home series to them.
