3rd Test: Australia v Pakistan at SCG on Jan 3-7, 2017

[Pete Cash]

The ball was 10cms past the bat when that spike appeared.

That's a seriously bad call.

The frame and the sound doesnt quite match up. The sound comes the frame after i believe

At least thats how the third umpire calls it

 

[hineyrulz]

To overturn a catch something should show up on Hotspot and snicko, otherwise the benefit should stay with the batsman IMO.

 

[JJ]

Great sample. Just reinforces that handscombe is also the greatest. Batsman that's ever lived.

Just check with twizzle he's the oracle on greatness


Haynetrain, yes "missing link" indeed, biologists at ANU are very interested

 

[Pete Cash]

Hotspot is too inconsistent

Conclusive snicko and some visual evidence is fine. The two overturned this match were not all that conclusive

 

[Sphagnum]

If opinions are divided about whether something should be overturned or not it should always revert to the on field decision.

That's how it is supposed to work but apparently the third umpire can go on a hunch instead of conclusive proof.

Same as league really.

Benefit should stay with the umpire, not the batsman. Whatever the on field decision was.

 

[JJ]

thats basically what I was saying, sans stats, as far as I'm concerned he will go down as one of our greats, thats my call anyway

Nice backsliding, so in reality when you 'corrected' me in fact you were agreeing with me 100%

Yeah good call.

 

[Pete Cash]

I think there is the possibility that both smith and wahab hit the ball. There was certainly a noise around the frame where the ball went past the glove/bat.

I doubt either of them think they hit the ball which is a problem imo because the players need to trust the system. You see stuff like the joe root drs a few years ago where he didnt know he hit it but the evidence showed he clearly did. Root would be like oh ok i f**ked up there because he can see the evidence

I doubt smith or wahab will ever believe they hit those. Im certainly not sure. It would have been the smallest molecule on the ball brushing the bat/glove

I will say at least gould is consistent

 

[Wizardman]

Imagine Christmas time with the Chappells....would be a pretty miserable day.

 

[Incorrect]

Imagine Christmas time with the Chappells....would be a pretty miserable day.

So just like every other day for the Chappell's...

 

[Wizardman]

Is there a nice Chappell? Rank the brothers as assholes on a scale.

Noise could have been caused by anything

Good comeback from the team after SA. Needless to say though that the big test is to come in India. Will make or break some guys careers.

Also, no wade

 

[Tommy Smith]

Picking Wade in India could end Lyon and the other spinner's career.

It'll be demoralising on those pitches seeing any chances grassed or stumping missed.

Imagine poor GOAT drawing Kohli out of his crease and deceiving him with flight only for dickfingers to fumble the chance.

It'll crush poor Gazza. Or Sokky.

Can envision the last bit but the first part is beyond the realm of imagination.

 

[JJ]

I'd promote Wade to v/c TBH his leadership is something else, I'm sure twizzle will confirm he's a great

 

[TheParraboy]

We don't win 3-0 if the kiwis didn't soften the Pakis up before hand

Cheers bro's

Chris Rogers has been defending Wade all through the test match on ABC radio, even when he f**ked up. His logic was that since Wade has been added to the team "they just seem to be playing much better".

Imagine if he ever became a selector.

 

[Red Bear]

Disappointing as Rogers has generally been excellent on ABC.
