*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[The Battlers Prince]

Ha ha, technical issue with hotspot.

 

[Jono]

Nothing on snicko. He can't have hit that, even without no side on hot spot you'd think

 

[Spark]

It sort of changes it's line, but don't know if it's the frame or the inside edge. Nothing on hotspot.

It's swinging appreciably so you wouldn't expect it to hold its line. Really would've liked the side on though...

 

[Uppercut]

small hotspot near the toe of the bat, Trott probably hit his pad or boot, making the second noise Dar probably heard.

His bat's nowhere near either.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Technical problems with side on hotspot apparently.

edit: snicko says he didn't hit it.

 

[Spikey]

I'm on the 'not conclusive enough to overturn' side.

 

[ajdude]

nah ****s trott ****ing smashed that

suck my ****

 

[Cabinet96]

Snicko confirming that he didn't hit it? That last shot was literally the first thing I saw after rebooting my Sky box.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I thought tea was at 4.10?

No problem with Trott dismissal, looked out to me on all viewings.

 

[Ruckus]

how can you see that the noise is the bat or pad, they are ridiculously close

 

[dermo]

I'll be honest I doubted Starc and still think Harris should be ahead of him but **** that's massive

 

[Kylez]

Nothing on snicko until the ball hits the pad firmly. That was out.

 

[vic_orthdox]

small hotspot near the toe of the bat, Trott probably hit his pad or boot, making the second noise Dar probably heard.

Yeah, but doesn't explain the appearance of a deflection.

Haha, technical problem = camera operator didn't have it turned on/aimed properly.

 

[Goughy]

There was a ****ing massive inside edge on that! **** me. Im still steaming from the ****ing stumping and this doesnt help. No point using hotspot if you dont look at it from the right angle.

 

[Cricket Brain]

Wow what a session of Test Cricket. Actually what a day so far!

 

[Prince EWS]

We could see the edge of the bat on HotSpot when the bat came through and there was nothing there, so the lack of side-on HotSpot hasn't had an effect (thankfully).

As we all know though, HotSpot doesn't show all edges; rather it's just proof of an edge when something shows up. Absence of HotSpot doesn't disprove an edge. I legitimately think he got a scratch on that judging by the way the ball changed direction and then which direction it went in after it bounced off the pad.

 

[Maximas]

how can you see that the noise is the bat or pad, they are ridiculously close

there would still be two mountains on snicko, only one on the replay, I suspect Trott hit his boot/pad as well though.

 

[Riggins]

I personally think the whole "The batsman always knows when he hits it" thing is complete bogus.

disagree. you always know.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Trott looked 100% dead to me live. I was out of my chair instantly. On replay it looked like he might have hit it but there's no evidence for it really and it really should have been given out live so I dunno. Weird one.

The best spell Starc has bowled at test level I think. Just looked so dangerous every ball.

 

[Prince EWS]

how can you see that the noise is the bat or pad, they are ridiculously close

There was only one noise, and the ball on pad impact is not silent.

I still think he hit it tbh but the Snicko did make me reconsider.
