3rd Ashes Test: Australia v England at Perth, Dec 14-18 2017

[Meth]

I reckon you know if you caught it.

I think there’s sometimes when it’s too close to know. Of course Smith is going to think he caught it though.

 

[Twizzle]

Smith wouldn’t have known either way

He said he caught it, he signalled to the ump he got his fingers under the ball

 

[Meth]

Does benefit of the doubt still go towards the batsman?

I seem to remember they used to talk about that but not anymore. Now it's all about what the umpire calls it on field.

Yeah, that’s why I’d go with not out

 

[Twizzle]

lol

nothing wrong with the pitch

 

[Eelectrica]

How do you play that.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

That's cricket, we've had those go our way before. Get over it and play on.

Smith wouldn’t have known either way

You know when you jam your finger and you know when you don't. His fingers were always under the ball.


That fat turd gives nothing out ever, absolute dreadful umpire.

 

[Meth]

He said he caught it, he signalled to the ump he got his fingers under the ball

Yeah, I think he was always going to back himself though.

I don’t know if that was too close to be completely conscious of what happened...I just know there is a point where you don’t entirely know

Footage of Erasmus after that descision

Pitch is the same as yesterday.
Nothing to see here.

 

[Eelectrica]

It's gonna be a moot point. It's a lottery what the ball does when it pitches.

Anyone know the umps for the 4th test? Hopefully Kettlebot is available.

Maybe my bias comes into it, but i reckon it was a fair catch.

 

[Twizzle]

ffs Cummings, pitch it up

English. No chance.

 

[mave]

Why is he bowling consistently short ?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

ffs Cummings, pitch it up

Agree, not sure why hes bowling short when there is obvious deviation if you pitch up

 

[Meth]

Maybe my bias comes into it, but i reckon it was a fair catch.

Admittedly, I am among the worst fielders ever to play cricket at any level- so my anecdotes of catches at slip are a total fabrication

 

[hineyrulz]

Pitch the f**king ball up Paddy.

Just aim for the cracks, it ain't rocket surgery.
