*Official* First Test at Lord's

[Furball]

The funny thing being, Hawk-eye is probably more reliable than Hot Spot.

Yeah, hotspot is useless at detecting those edges on the back of the bat that umpires always miss.

 

[Spark]

Don't think that snicko is bat tbh. Its not a sharp line and there seems to be alot of other noises just before the ball passes the bat and after.

Yeah I'm not fully convinced either. Maybe he just just nicked it - the timing is perfect - but it's just not clear enough.

50 in the last innings of a Test for VVS, is anyone surprised? Wouldn't mind a ton whatever else would happen tbh.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, hotspot is useless at detecting those edges on the back of the bat that umpires always miss.

But you can't be 100% COMPLETELY CERTAIN that the ball didn't decide to take a huge detour on the way through to the keeper!!!

 

[Cevno]

They tried to bounce him out though didn't they?

Morkel did. Steyn tried everything, though in his best spell in one match Sachin took most of the strike and played him out. Gambhir kept looking shaky but played 2 crucial innings.

Who edges it on the back of their bat? Just had a glance at some of mine, no cherries on the back.

Such awesome Test cricket right now - Broad vs. VVS and Swann vs. Gambhir

That you will have to ask Cevno.

 

[CricAddict]

Laxman WAG. Why does he almost always show up in the second innings preferring to be quiet in the first.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, I tend to think of deliveries that are going on to hit the stumps after pitching and hitting in line as not out too, just because I can

It would be hilarious to see what a game of cricket involving India looks like through oitoitoi's eyes.

You'll have to ask one of your fellow India fans about that one

Yup.

Vaughan disgusted with the field placements. Don't blame him.

 

[Burgey]

Atleast it is relevant to this match.

Better report my post then..

If relevance was a criterion mate, your post count would be seven.

 

[Spark]

Yup.

Vaughan disgusted with the field placements. Don't blame him.

Vaughan criticizing others for having a deep point is mildly ironic tbf

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Snicko shows hotspot up again. He did hit it.

Did he?

I think I've just missed something.

Uppercut looks exactly the same as yours, except I see £ signs over everything, because I put my money where my mouth is.

 

[Themer]

Shame your bankrupt though.

 

[GIMH]

On Friday when Pietersen's out was overturned, Cevno claimed that it shouldn't have been overturned because there was no evidence that it hadn't hit the back of the bat.

Nice to see that you assume we're all the same.

I didn't assume you were all the same.

I said you'll have to ask one of your fellow India fans. By which I meant Cevno.
