3rd ODI: New Zealand v Australia at Hamilton on Feb 8, 2016

that's not an appeal, he didn't even turn around to look at the umpire

Lol why would he turn and appeal to the umpire though it wasn't an LBW appeal it was a catch. Since when do you appeal for a catch. The right decision was reached was it not? And that's all that should matter right?

What pisses me off is that it was basically a free review, after the ten seconds lapsed.

If McCullum thought it was out he should have reviewed it immediately.

The umpire reviewed it as they have been able to do for a long time.

no merkin in the ground gave a shit until it was on the big screen, if that happened to us in NZ it wouldn't even been reviewed.. why? because we wouldn't have the vocal support of the crowd to pressure the umpire

 

[Pete Cash]

Uhh people appeal for catches all the time ?

 

[blaza88z]

that is not an appeal, I don't care how you try to sugar coat it, you still have to appeal for dubious decisions

 

[hineyrulz]

That wasn't an appeal lol, he didn't even look at the umpire. They waited 10 or so seconds looked at the big screen then the nicest guy in the history of cricket had a whinge. Until the ump relented.

If it doesn't go up on this big screen it's not out.

We fair dinkum had a juniors umpire tell us that we had to appeal every dismissal in the under 15's.

You're kidding, right? Any potential catch which requires the umpire's adjudication should be appealed for. E.g every tickle down the leg side where it might be thigh guard or it might be bat

 

[JohnDoe]

Whats a game between Australia and New Zealand without a little bit of controversy. Love it.

 

[Timbo]

AB and Smith are talking sense.

If McCullum thought it was out, he could review. He didn't till the crowd started booing.

Not a captain's review. Bump ball and clean catches are umpire reviews.

Stop whinging fellas. It was legitimately out. If we lose from here its deserved.

Besides I'm glad the right decision was made because we'd have Nigel Llong part 2 on here otherwise. If we win by a slim miracle from here it is untainted.

 

[Pete Cash]

I think technology should be used to make sure every decision is right but thats not the system in place. It wasnt until the umpires saw it on the big screen did they check it.

So basically i think fair enough its out but i want it applied across the board

If nobody appeals you dont walk

 

[Timbo]

A captain can review anything he wants if it is an appeal turned down.

Impressive attitude.

Even if you clean bowl them? He said we even had to appeal that. We thought he was taking the piss but he was dead serious.

 

[The Charlatan]

Double post.

 

[JJ]

Stop whinging fellas. It was legitimately out.

That, indeed, is the only relevant point here

Lbws and edges, not run outs, stumpings, or catches (incl bump balls).
