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

[morgieb]

You know if the umpire actually did the job they were paid to do that would be avoided.

Was close though, can forgive the umpire for missing that.

 

[stephen]

That awkward moment you review and discover it was a no ball.

 

[StephenZA]

It does amaze me how it is the umpire's fault when the bowler bowls a no ball...

Yes, they should get the calls right, but it is still the bowlers fault.

 

[Burgey]

TPC knew it was a no ball, as deities do.

If it had been called on field the review would not have been wasted. That's the problem here. Nothing to do with whether or not the bowler overstepped.

And he gave it 'not out'. Even the umpires are against us. Is the line too thick? Someone help us ffs

If the umpires don't call it, then it's only natural for the bowler to assume they're fine.

The review would not have been lost if the bowler had not over stepped...

FTR it isn't a wasted review, you don't lose reviews for no balls.

 

[Starfighter]

You don't? Okay then it's not as much an issue. I just assumed you would for some reason.

The review would not have been lost if the bowler had not over stepped...

Completely and utterly missing the point.

On a ball to ball basis? Close NB. And if it is a consistent thing of continuous NB not being called, fine... but what we have now is people noticing the occasional NB not called. What their are 10 NB in an innings, max? Maybe an additional 5 are missed? I cant say for sure, but ultimately it is in the bowlers control.

That was the first no ball called in the innings. How are the bowlers meant to know?

 

[vcs]

Mitch Marsh times it beautifully. Bit like Yuvraj in his batting.

Completely and utterly missing the point.

I get your point, and now we know the review is not lost.... but my point is it is entirely within the bowlers control; let's stop blaming the umpire for 'causing' the NB.

 

[Starfighter]

I reckon Anderson should try bowling with the keeper up. Just for the heck of it. It might stop those drives at least.


I can't believe Mitchell ****ing Marsh is going to get an Ashes hundred.

 

[Shri]

Bit like Yuvraj in his batting.

Test batting average confirms.

 

[SeamUp]

This is peak Mitch Marsh. What I've seen is a better defensive technique and more confidence in his batting. It is clearly evident taking away conditions and opposition.

As with all international players consistency will be required and on this viewing he is giving himself a better chance to be.

By playing very well

Haha, ODI average too though.

Where did I say he hadn't?
