2ND TEST: Australia v West Indies Adelaide Oval Dec 4 - Dec 8 2009

[aussies1st]

Geez that is a dodgy bat, could see some shiny thing on hot spot. Sounded very edgey to me.

 

[Hallatia]

it sounded edgey, but once they showed it again it really didn't look like he hit it ...

 

[TimmyB]

There was definitely a noise, but it didn't sound like the clean noise of a nick. It sounded a little protracted to me. Not only that, the ball didn't deviate and the seam position seemed totally unaffected. There was no way the original decision could be overruled based upon that evidence.

Should it have been given out? Who knows. It immediately sounded out, but the evidence suggests it wasn't a bad decision.

 

[yappy]

Probably was a small tickle, but with hot spot not showing any lasting mark on the bat it was a fair enough call.

Dougie producing some good heat here. Good spell.

 

[aussies1st]

Wonder what the sound was.

 

[aussies1st]

I thought Watson was getting some outswing, and that last bowled definitely moved.

 

[TimmyB]

Yeah well you can understand why Dougie felt aggrieved.

Benson would have heard whatever the noise was. I wonder how he justified a not out decision?

 

[yappy]

I think it just caught the back of the edge.

Pies on the menu now.

 

[TheParraboy]

WI solid 1 hour after lunch

So far we are looking at a 4 day test match IMO

 

[TimmyB]

Dylan Thompson...how nervous and delighted would the bloke be?

 

[Hallatia]

not that it's a thing, but there's the 50 partnership ...

 

[yappy]

Good effort trying to get a catch there for Watson.

 

[yappy]

Has Hilditch been coaching Bravo how to play the short ball?

 

[aussies1st]

This partnership is developing nicely.

 

[Hallatia]

This partnership is developing nicely.

nearly ready to start thinking of this as an actual contest ...:crazy:

Siddle is a pie chucker I can't stand the clown, get rid of him

We'll have to put up with him for at least another 2 years, the current selectors (Fat Merv especially) love him :roll:

I hear that it is Ponting who really loves him ...

 

[aussies1st]

I believe that is the first call overruled this series and boy it was needed.

 

[Fui!!!]

Hmmm, seems cricket hasn't worked out BotD just yet.

It was to much of a 50/50 call to be given IMO

P.S. not that I care cause Chanderpaul looked set
