***Official*** Australia in India 2017

[ImpatientLime]

Did the ICC really think appointing only English match officials would ensure impartiality?

They hate our superior culture ffs

Sometimes *** with multiple supermodels comes close.

Yeah but you usually only get that a few hours like once a week.

Test cricket goes for 5 days in a row.

 

[morgieb]

I get why he didn't review, didn't want to go 0 down and in that case you kinda have to be 100% sure the umpire's wrong which I don't think that counts. Still not great.

[Burgey]

I'm amazed at how unsure Smarsh was at whether it was hitting or not. His fault for not reviewing.

Australia still comfortably ahead of the game though.

Oh I think it's very much 50:50 ATM.

Great stuff from Nostrils here.

we have a pretty obvious culture if youve ever been here

 

[vogue]

Seriously miffed I have to go out this morning. This has been such good watching for a test match. As a mainly neutral viewer. With a slight leaning to India for a bit of a gutsy performance yesterday.

 

[morgieb]

That said, no Test comes down to one decision, whoever wins from here did earn it. Both sides have won their fair share of the Test.

Warner was pretty unlucky to go too, and had his been overturned Australia would've gone for that I suspect. So two decisions essentially.

Oldest continuous culture on earth mate.

 

[Shri]

Muhaha. I seem to have triggered Burgey. Sorry, pal.

 

[Burner]

Nah, that was pretty dumb from Smith. I get that he didn't want to waste his remaining review but it looked so not out.

 

[quincywagstaff]

8 times in 9 Tests against India Shaun Marsh has been dismissed for single figures.

 

[adub]

and thats why DRS isnt 'just for the howlers'

Yeah, the way we use it still needs tweaking when a guy who had the tracker showing 49.99% of the ball hitting the stumps given not out and a guy with 100% of the ball missing by six inches given out.

Not saying I have all the answers, but it's not right yet.

Nice Gambhiring, never gonna be 50-50 as long as Smith is out there.

 

[mr_mister]

put starc in at 6 to hoik a few maximums

 

[Contra]

still too much legside from Jaddu.

 

[Burgey]

Nice Gambhiring, never gonna be 50-50 as long as Smith is out there.

No gambhiring here mate. Genuinely a 50:50 go. **** happens quickly in India, as Renshaw found out to his chagrin in the first test

 

[Burgey]

Ah yeah. See how wide Smith was. Marsh should have just reviewed it straight up.

i agree with you completely. im also annoyed at how i hear you're supposed to save it for those times youve smashed it into your pads and the umpire still gives you lbw or when there's daylight between bat and ball yet the ump thought he heard you snick it thru to the keeper

im of the opinion you make smart, well timed uses of it whenever you feel you've got good odds. have a gamble every now and then. its not a perfect system so you should exploit that when you can

 

[quincywagstaff]

Re: Marsh dismissal, umpire got sucked into the old trap of giving an LBW because it was a shooter instead of just judging the line.
