*Official* First Test at the Gabba

[pskov]

Nothing on hotspot, so it was never going to be given. Looked like there was something a bit on it with the super slow-motion, and definitely the noise.

The rotation of the ball didn't change on the super slo-mo either. If he did hit it, it was a very, very, fine nick.

 

[chalky]

Should be reluctant to use a review when bowler and keeper don't appeal. Maybe the Trott edge from earlier is playing on the Aussie minds but that was daft.

Hope it doesn't bite them in ass later in the innings when they can't review a shocker (actually I'm lying hope it does).

Was talking about output rather than aesthetics. One ton and no fifties every five games.

Yeah that's fair enough.

 

[M0rphin3]

Nothing came up on hot spot tbh.

And the hotspot is a load of tosh tbh.

And the hotspot is a load of tosh tbh.

Why? It does show most edges.

 

[M0rphin3]

Wow, Doherty isn't half as bad. Good choice in the end.

 

[Prince EWS]

Thought I heard a noise past the bat.

Well I'm not getting sound because I'm listening to the Sofa, so fair enough.

Why? It does show most edges.

It doesn't often show fine edges. Sometimes it does, sometimes doesn't.

 

[M0rphin3]

Why? It does show most edges.

And it does miss some obvious ones, case in point Azhar ali dismissal in Eng vs Pak series, Collingwood dismissal (which was not given but was sooo obvious) in BDesh vs Eng ODI.

It doesn't often show fine edges. Sometimes it does, sometimes doesn't.

Yep, pretty flawed.

 

[Spark]

Having said that, it gives open-and-shut evidence if it does show up. People just have to realise that with that no spot =/= no nick. From a UDRS point of view though you'd be hard pressed to give it without a spot.

 

[M0rphin3]

Give it some flight you ****.

 

[joels344]

I really hope the rain stays away.

Wouldn't you rather endure the TV commentators if it meant you could hear the sounds of the game from the ground?

I thought I would at first. It's why I didn't try the Sofa for a while. I don't really notice though.

Streaming on mute w/ sofa audio. It is brilliance.

 

[Burgey]

Cook starting to look more assured here. Tragedy that Doherty put that down in the first session.

Indeed, it would probably be game over England if he took that. One dropped catch ain't bad though, and it wasn't the easiest one either.

Not in sync though

WTF happened to hilfy/sidsy?
