*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Goughy]

that much deflection from that little distance to travel to the pad would have been a thick edge, the kind of edge that would have produced even a front on hotspot, pretty clear that was out IMO.

Im sorry. So what deflected the ball then?

 

[Spikey]

feel sorry for Nottinghamshire. game might be done by day 3

 

[Burgey]

ridiculous reaction from Starc to Trott going under the radar here too btw. Guy needs to drop the agro act cause he just doesn't have the face for it.

So if he has a head like a dropped pie (a la Merv Hughes) it's ok?

 

[Prince EWS]

Ruckus managing to have a go at Starc even while he's on a top order hat-trick. Impressive.

 

[Adders]

This is such a stupid day of cricket. World, there is only so much you should throw in during one day and this is way too ****ing much.

I'm a dribbling mess here, thank **** I'm not drinking.........I think my Plasma would be smashed and in bits on the floor if I was.

Seriously ****ed up day of cricket.

ridiculously awesome

 

[MW1304]

If he's hit it hard enough to deflect there'll be a ****ing massive hotspot. Hotspot only struggles with really thin edges and that wouldn't have been one of them.

This isn't necessarily true. Didn't the whole vaseline issue start because hotspot didn't show a thick edge once under mysterious circumstances. It isn't the most reliable bit of kit, especially in England.

Yep bit over the top.

 

[Ruckus]

na I want the guy to make me taste it hard (that sounds kind of gay sorry)

[Maximas]

probably just a trick of the eyes, if the deflection was true then an edge would've showed up, confusing logic I'll admit!

 

[Woodster]

Surely Trott got a bit of bat on that! Unless there is camera trickery involved the ball changed direction after it went past the bat and not because of any swing around. Root strangled to a poor delivery down legside, to be fair to Starc he got it spot on the following ball.

English pundits seem in shock!Presumably those predicting a 10-0 hammering beginning to eat their words as early as tea on the second day of the series!

We're far from out of this, but we do really need to show some quality from here on in. KP really got to step up here and see us through to the close with Cooky. This should still be a belting enough batting deck for the rest of today and into tomorrow.

Stay up for the hat trick ball!

 

[Ruckus]

the reaction from Watson to Agar's dismissal was genuinely laugh-out-loud

 

[Swingpanzee]

Im sorry. So what deflected the ball then?

Exactly. I know neither hotspot nor snicko shows an edge, but then what caused the ball to move away? It was too sharp for it to be natural swing.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Normally fast test matches aren't close, thise test match could be over in 3 days and be close the whole way, at this rate.

 

[Spikey]

seriously this agar brother with the pink shirt

No satifcatory me wants proof. You got proof? Nein. So don't we.

 

[Jono]

Im sorry. So what deflected the ball then?

So two forms of technology not showing what I want, but I want the review system which uses technology to give the decision my way?

:-/

Now I know how India fans felt after Sydneygate!!!!!
