*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[outbreak]

For all those moaning about DRS, remember it was given out on the field,so no DRS and Hughes is still out.

This series they've been going against the tech evidence though

 

[Neil Pickup]

I thought there was a pretty clear hotspot on the side on view - the bat is totally blank before the ball goes past, and then there's a slight mark on the outer edge.

 

[91Jmay]

the technology says it's not out, if your not going to trust it why the **** do you use it in the first place

There was a noise on the side on camera though, so if its given out and you have technology appearing to contradict each other (even though Snicko showed he hit it) what do you do? You stay with the onfield umpire. Its not that difficult.

Its not as simple, the technology was not able to gather ENOUGH evidence to overrule an umpire's decision.

 

[Maximas]

Aussies going on about the Hughes call should think back to the Root one, close, but out

 

[Spikey]

The very slight sound and the less-than-clear hotspot made it very hard to overturn. It's not a DRS failure.

 

[outbreak]

I was of the same opinion. Didn't think he'd nicked it until snicko said he had.

Plenty of times snicko has had a noise from creacking bats and other things

sounded like a knick IMO

Exactly this. It wasn't a howler, so didn't need overturning is the bottom-line.

Spikey nose best

Strangely I thought he edged it on first viewing

DRS gives umpires the benefit of the doubt

Given that they aren't infallible, it's a strange setup

 

[Spark]

Yeah fair enough with snicko

 

[Uppercut]

Jeez some of the Aussies are taking that one badly. The decision was fine. Erasmus giving Rogers out on-field was a total shocker, should be getting angry about that instead.

 

[Spikey]

I am shocked the umpire managed to hear it in real time though.

 

[91Jmay]

Lol what you Aussies moaning about. Snicko shows that clear as day is a thin edge.

 

[outbreak]

Would be much more happy with the system if they used it the same every series. Different umpires seem to over turn others seem reluctant to

 

[Expressway76]

Swann bowling well. This pitch suits his pace and need for bounce.

 

[dermo]

nah **** off ****s think about Clarke and Haddin at TB they were the faintest of edges, hotspot picked them up and there was nothing then. If we aren't going to trust it why use it

 

[91Jmay]

Khawaja does not look good against Swann at all.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Lol what you Aussies moaning about. Snicko shows that clear as day is a thin edge.

Snicko isn't available for review so it doesn't matter what it says! You can only base your decisions on what evidence you're presented with, isn't that simple to understand?
