*Official* Second Test at Lords

[Pigeon]

Hotspot shows a tiny very tiny spot on the outside edge of the bat.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Nice appeal by Prior there

 

[duffer]

Try posting a photo that isn't distorted by being laterally stretched and it might be a little more interesting.

Clearly inconclusive and clearly shouldn't have been given out.

 

[Demolition Man]

Have to say watching it live didn;t look like he hit it. Hussey looking behind did him no favors though. Shocked that the keeper couldn;t tell the difference there assuming he was watching the ball closely, appeared to be daylight between bat and ball.

 

[JBH001]

Dont agree, tbh. Looked dead set out for mine in real time. Pretty silly to be going on about it, I reckon.

 

[pup11]

FFS....Need some rain here, but judging the things are going for the Aussies, that might only happen once the last Australian wicket falls.

Ya reckon??? Couldn't see it.

Agreed. And the picture you posted doesn't make it any less inconclusive.

No it didn't.

 

[cameeel]

Oh FFS, three of four wickets to appalling umpiring errors, Hussey was nowhere near that

 

[duffer]

Never said it did. The point I was making was how exactly could Doctrove have been certain enough it did carry to give him out?

Will that make it look like he has his hands around the ball?

 

[Redbacks]

Imagine if this match was close, we would be throwing the toys out the pram right now

 

[biased indian]

And that how we felt after Sydney.

now that you have been on both side....... which is the best side to be in Sydney???

 

[JBH001]

So Broad's was the only genuine wicket was it?

 

[Pigeon]

Ya reckon??? Couldn't see it.

Hopefully someone could get a screenshot of hotspot.

Come off it. Are you trying to kid yourself that Haddin, Clarke and whoever else was fielding around the bat wouldn't have gone up for it? England can be accused of over-appealing at times (in just the same way that Australia can) but there was nothing wrong with that shout.

 

[pasag]

Haha, must be karma for Sydney then. No other explanation.

 

[Matt79]

Ya reckon??? Couldn't see it.

Anyway, crap shot by Huss to create the situation. Start again Clarke and North.

I'm not going to whinge about this innings for years to come, but I will cite it
when people trot out that Australia always gets the rub of the green.

 

[Prince EWS]

I challenge anyone who saw that live to honestly say they didn't think Hussey had hit it.

Wrong decision, but pretty harsh to actually rip into the umpire about it, IMO. Looked and sounded like a regulation first slip catch.
