***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

[Burgey]

There was a noise on snicko as the ball passed the bat. I'm not sure how Stoneman could be given and Khawaja given based on the evidence presented.

If he edged it he would have reviewed it straight away.

Yeah but said noise clearly didn't align with any visual contact

 

[stephen]

I thought it was pad ftr

Possibly. On my big screen TV there was the faintest of marks on hot spot as well but it could have been a reflection.

I think there was sufficient doubt that it should have been overturned. Stoneman was robbed too for much the same reason.

 

[Spikey]

bloody hell marsh get off strike we're not here to watch you

It was very faint, like the batters who don't know they've nicked off.

It was definitely a reflection. It certainly wasn't sufficient to overturn.

 

[vcs]

Seriously, the only solution is to ban India.

It's nice to have dreams..

The whole point of the review system is that there should be clear evidence to overturn the umpires call. In both 'contentious' cases the original decision should have stood imo.

Isn't the whole point of the DRS system to make the correct decision?

The only reason they have umpires call us because of the margin for error. You always feel unlucky getting out to two "umpires call" lights.

 

[Spark]

"Sufficient doubt that it should have been overturned" is not how the system works

 

[stephen]

My point is that there was as much doubt as the Stoneman decision, which I didn't think should have been overturned. There was a noise in the same frame as the ball passed the bat, which was all it took to give Stoneman out.

 

[Gnske]

Get off strike you mongrel

 

[stephen]

They're calling this evenly balanced but we have our last two recognised batsmen at the crease and we're 200 runs behind.

 

[hazsa19]

Need one of our senior players to stand up here.

 

[Spark]

Broad has been pretty rubbish thus far

 

[stephen]

I'd rather be in Australia's dressing room because if I was in the English dressing room I'd be surrounded by bloody poms.

Why though? It's not 'LBW (unless it's only clipping)'.

 

[Spikey]

oh go to hell marsh. you may as well face every single ball for the rest of the day now

Looks a shadow of his 2015 self.

It's so marginal that the technology can't tell on not one but two different occasions.
