Can't wait for us to go to the Duke... this Kookaburra does nothing after 12 overs.

 

[Rootfan]

I'm still of the belief that when it's all said and done

Amir > Starc > Wagner > Boult.

Aman, this isn't the forum where you have to big up Amir to get into the good books of the others. Starc, Boult and Wagner anyday over an overrated trundler who sold his country out.

Or it could just be that Pak bowlers apart from Amir can't swing the new ball

Even Amir has stopped swinging it though.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Surely that's out.

Na happens all the time.

 

[hendrix]

wtf, that hit the arm

 

[straw man]

Ugh I can't see. The radio comms are extremely surprised though.

 

[Tom Halsey]

That hit his arm?

 

[wellAlbidarned]

what

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Looked like his arm to me

 

[hendrix]

that was really weird. Was the tv umpire watching what was on his screen?

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Bad decision....who is the umpire.

 

[Prince EWS]

He absolutely didn't hit that. Comms seem to think it might have hit both, but I'm convinced the third umpire didn't even consider that the noise might be his elbow -- see snicko spike, give out. Terrible call.

 

[slippy888]

that hit elbow ffs

 

[Agent Nationaux]

that was really weird. Was the tv umpire watching what was on his screen?

I think he made the decision based on the Snicko registering the noise before the ball reached the arm. But it did look like touching the arm.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

big hotspot mark on the elbow, nothing on the bat, snicko spike as it passes the elbow. I'm frankly confused

 

[Prince EWS]

A rare, rare occurrence of an overturn actually being wrong. Sometimes you get 'upheld' decisions that probably should've been overturned, but this is rare.

 

[Blocky]

Terrible by Williamson there... and here comes Taylor out for **** all.

 

[straw man]

Oh Ian Gould is the third umpire, makes sense now

Edit: partial apologies, I thought it was Gould but it was actually Illingworth that gave Latham out caught behind in South Africa on the basis of very little. I still seem to remember other Gould DRS messes though - in the West Indies perhaps?
