***Official*** Australia in South Africa

[Kylez]

My posts have been a mix of bad predictions and being a massive ****; maybe I should just stop.

Fixed.

 

[TumTum]

Easier said than done. Gotta play their shots here, no point staying around.

I meant the one that was dropped, its missing the stumps comfortably even if it didn't move.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Wish more matches were like this.

So if you review something even though you think it's probably out, but it turns out the bowler has overstepped or you actually did nick it and hotspot doesn't show anything and you've given not out there's no element of luck there?

kk.

That'd be lucky.

That didn't happen though.

 

[Cevno]

By this logic, not reviewing the Watson lbw was actually unlucky.

And that's why i said Australia should review everything today in the initial post, as it's their day as far as the decisions being reviewed are concerned.

 

[Burgey]

Looked high

What if the non-striker indicates that he thought it was a no-ball?

 

[Spark]

High.

 

[Jayzamann]

He's a short bastard, but he's jumping.

Lol, it doesn't make any sense though unless the HawkEye paths are somehow random and not related to what actually happened. Which I know is your position. I'll STFU about it now though; doesn't belong in this thread.

New ball in pitching on a length and going over shocker.

 

[Sylvester]

Shocker of a review, never looked like hitting.

They weren't shockers, but they were still wrong. This idea that UDRS is there to only eliminate obvious howlers is annoying.

Umpires are always taught to give the benefit of the doubt to the batsmen, every one of those decisions had enough doubt. UDRS overturned those correctly, however you wouldn't want an umpire to be chastised for any of those decisions. The game moves on, everyone wins.

 

[Spark]

That's gone.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

What a dolly for Smith to drop.

All going Aussies way today. Not many would have predicted this at the start of the game.

 

[Spikey]

hahahahahahaha this is crazy

 

[Spark]

UDRS is going bonkers. How many reviews have we had?

 

[Burgey]

And gone
