*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[Prensel]

Whats the point of calling it real time snicko, if it has a delay?

 

[hendrix]

That's the thing that angers me greatly... If the technology is used well, it could be a massive improvement instead of how it us now. So frustrating

The thing is, there are always going to be uncertainties. I really like the fact that the original call receives bias in the case of uncertainty.

However, "he didn't ****ing hit it" is conclusive. It's not an uncertainty.

lol, indeed

 

[91Jmay]

Anyway, thats over and done with. Need to knuckle down and then play positively!

 

[Spikey]

thank you mark taylor for reminding me that if Root had been given not out, it would not have been over-turned.

Sure there are always uncertainties. And in case of an uncertainty it should be benefit of doubt to the batsman, instead of the benefit of doubt to the on field call. That's the fundamental flaw

Nah, I disagree with that. The on-field umpires should already be applying benefit of the doubt to the batsman, which makes it a moot point. If they're not, that's their failing.

 

[Spark]

Man imagine if KP runs himself out here. The explosion of rage would be something to behold

 

[OverratedSanity]

But it's a split second instinctive decision. It just diminishes the effectiveness of all the tools at the third umpires disposal.

By your logic, even in stumping, runout calls, the third umpire shouldn't give the benefit of doubt to the batsman.

 

[Jono]

There is nothing more consistent in cricket then KP taking a semi-risky to risky single to get off the mark.

 

[Spark]

Who was saying that this pitch isn't that quick again?

The desperation some players have to get off the mark is so weird. Must be a major cricketism.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

TMS talking right now about how they have to amplify the sound in order to make it visible on snicko

EDIT: Daniel Brettig @danbrettig
Umpires were briefed on Realtime snicko before the series to expect the noise after the ball has passed the bat. #ashes

If what Brettig says there is true then why not announce that to everyone so people don't think a shocker has been made?

 

[Jono]

Deadset every single ball from Mitch that is full looks like he'll get someone LBW.

And then ambles an obvious two

Are you expecting competence from cricket administrators there

EDIT: This is great stuff from Johnson

 

[Jono]

Mitch Johnson is ****ing awesome for cricket.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Yeah, bit too much to ask isn't it.

 

[Jono]

Ball swinging whilst going over Haddin's head.

 

[Johnners]

Geez that was a good over from Johnson
