ODI 2nd Match: Australia v India MCG, Sun 18th Jan 2015

[East Coast Tiger]

Naked eye it looked good.

Hindsight heroes.

 

[Canard]

Strac is such a gun at this form.

What's the story with DRS for this series and the World Cup.

 

[Iafeta]

Not out straight away. I'm glad you're not an umpire, it was extremely easy to see where that was swinging.

 

[Pete Cash]

No DRS here but DRS in the world cup.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Not out straight away. I'm glad you're not an umpire, it was extremely easy to see where that was swinging.

Like I said hindsight heroes.

Extremely easy to see on replay.

 

[Hutty1986]

Geez faulkner bleeds runs in this format

 

[Canard]

Naked eye it looked good.

Hindsight heroes.

People tend to hold international cricket umpires to a higher standard then a couple of nerds on League fansite though.

 

[hineyrulz]

Lbw looked close.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

They are held to a higher standard. They have to be when they have one look at it, at full speed and have a moment to judge.

Even bumble said you could see why he gave it moments after I typed the same thing.

Its just more of the same referee/umpire bashing from the armchair we see constantly.

 

[Pete Cash]

Lbw looked close.

Yeah it did. I could see Ashwins leg stump which suggests he got quite far across.

And as I post Hawkeye verifies.

 

[Mr Angry]

Dude!

 

[Hutty1986]

Dropped catch #332 from Australia this summer

 

[Iafeta]

Like I said hindsight heroes.

Extremely easy to see on replay.

I assume you were sitting in my living room? I said not out as soon as it happened.

 

[Bazal]

The Patel LBW looked out live, until I realised it missed his front pad.

Made up for anyway by that plumb LBW being given not out. Swings both ways.

 

[Mr Angry]

Yeah it did. I could see Ashwins leg stump which suggests he got quite far across.

And as I post Hawkeye verifies.

And it evens out.

 

[hineyrulz]

Tough chance, but gee we have dropped some catches of late. Starcy deserves a 5 for.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

I assume you were sitting in my living room? I said not out as soon as it happened.

Of course you did.

 

[Iafeta]

Yeah it did. I could see Ashwins leg stump which suggests he got quite far across.

And as I post Hawkeye verifies.

As did I. I'd be very disappointed if I was the bowler on the Ashwin appeal.

 

[Pete Cash]

Well done starc.

 

[Iafeta]

Of course you did.

And ECT continues his rep as an epic knob jockey. If you couldn't see it swinging wildly down leg from the get go you really need a trip to OPSM. It was as obvious as they come.
