I don't agree with this.

However, if he has even the slightest of feelings that there has been some deviation, then he is well within his right to appeal.
That's basically what an appeal is. "How was that?"

Yup, that's what i said, a player is entitled to make an appeal whenever there is a relatively close call, and nobody can take that right away from him, and tbh i don't believe their is anything wrong for a player to go up in appeal even when they are doubtful.

My belief is umpire is their to do a job, and he is paid well for that, and if he can't do his job well enough, then bad for him, because as a player you can't expect any help from an umpire out their on the cricket field, i don't know why it should be any different for the umpires either.

The batsman did walk

No-one appealed, it was just out. Bowled.

sorry don't have the link to show that

but surely batsmen was confused and looked around

 

[Hoggy31]

Ferguson - interesting selection.

 

[Bahnz]

McCullum was the only one who appealed and there was absolutely no reason for anyone on the field to think that Dussey hit it. There isn't a shred of ANYTHING to explain why McCullum would think he hit it.

Wrong. Snicko did pick up a noise. It was small, and it came after the ball passed the bat, but it was there.

Yeah, and then he went. Because he was BOWLED.

You don't appeal for bowled, you celebrate.

Must've been so small that I can't see it on my TV on repeated viewings.

 

[four_or_six]

Why have they not picked Lee Carseldine? Is it because he's 33?

 

[Hoggy31]

He's heating up.

 

[_Ed_]

PLEASE SHUT THE **** UP EVERYONE.

Goddamn.

Well said sir.

 

[Precambrian]

Well I'm a mod.

It'd take me ages, so I thought I'd ask what everyone else thought before just going ahead and doing it.

I know!

Was just being Devil's advocate

 

[four_or_six]

He's heating up.

Heating up?

 

[Precambrian]

If Haddin had "appealed", everyone would have looked at him like "wtf", the umpire would've been like "um, it's bowled", and the result would have been exactly the same.

Would have taken the load off him then.

 

[Hoggy31]

Heating up?

Age, you were spot on.

 

[Precambrian]

Yeah, and then he went. Because he was BOWLED.

You don't appeal for bowled, you celebrate.

Bowled?ITSTL.

 

[_Ed_]

Wrong. Snicko did pick up a noise. It was small, and it came after the ball passed the bat, but it was there.

And even if it didn't, snicko isn't infallible. The third umpire isn't allowed to use it in the referral system, is he?

I thought I heard a noise when it happened live.

But now I'm off to watch some TV.

 

[thierry henry]

Would have taken the load off him then.

It wouldn't have made a bit of difference whether he'd said "howzat" or "y@y we got teh wicketz", it was a bowled ffs, the fielding team goes in a huddle and the batsman leaves.

 

[four_or_six]

Age, you were spot on.

Ah cool. Shame though, I love those 'hard-luck' stories.

Very true, I thought I heard one too.

 

[Precambrian]

please shut the **** up everyone.

Goddamn.

spot teh ausseh.

 

[Hoggy31]

Ah cool. Shame though, I love those 'hard-luck' stories.

Should land an IPL contract though, good on him.
