***Official*** Australia in India 2017

What difference does it make if he played a shot? Am I missing something?

Geez don't see how Wade is going to score against Jadeja without going big at the moment.

 

[CricAddict]

This was a superb innings from Maxwell. If India wins this match and thereby the series, it will be due to this one inch gained on the legstump of Maxi.

I guess the only thing would be that the on field umpire is less likely to give it out originally if he felt that he was playing a shot.

If you don't play a shot then it does not matter whether it hit outside the line or not. In this case it didn't matter as it was umpire's call anyway, but there is a distinction.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah I don't know. I guess his intent wasn't to play a shot - it was just for the purposes of LBW that one can say he offered one...does that count? (I genuinely could go either way on that tbf)

Oh look, I'm not eally going to argue one way or the other. At the end of the day the bloke was lifted a spot in the order and frankly did a great job in the circumstances. If Australia loses this he's hardly to blame at all

Ashhhhhwinnnnnnnnnnning.

The *** will handle that

 

[Burgey]

Like the odd stunp guard from
Wade vs Jadeja

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Forget 70 he doesnt look like scoring 7

 

[Spikey]

If the on field umpire was of the view that Maxwell had played a shot, I don't think there's much chance it gets given

Well yeah I know, but he wasn't hit outside the line according to the replay. Would have been out regardless of the third umpire's call. Might have impacted the on field call though as others have said.

 

[Contra]

India doing what Australia have done so well in this series so far, just no loose deliveries on offer. Keep that up and we'll get the wkts eventually.

 

[cnerd123]

I don't want Ashwin on this wicket unless he's on song. He'll bowl too slow, allow the batsmen to use their feet, and could bleed a bunch of boundaries in no time.

If he's fit enough to get them down with revs at 80-90 kmph like he used too then sure, but if he's tossing them up in the 70s with variable accuracy then I'd rather keep Kuldeep on. He's looking alright. Needs a short fine leg tho.

thanks for the sarcastic like Daemon

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ash's brainwaves reaching maximum intensity this innings. Keep this up and we should win.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Whatever you say about his overall performance in the series, Ashwin's come to the party twice and it might be the deciding factor it in.

 

[social]

How is that umpires call on being outside the line when hawkeye shows him being hit well outside the line?

Some very strange DRS results this series

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I dunno if Wade should go for it here or just try and stay in until Cummins gets out at least. I can't see Lyon and Haze lasting long here.

Is the animation the actual prediction or does the hawkeye make a prediction and then graphics get created based on that? That could explain the difference.

I think Smart Ashwin might be my favourite cricket meme, aside from those I actually created. So good.
