***Official*** 5th Test at the SCG

[Starfighter]

Well well.

 

[Adders]

I get why that's been called but IMO that wasn't actually a no ball.

Saved them a review, though

EDIT: Hahahaha

Do you not lose your review if it's a no ball?

 

[Spark]

That has got to be the best thing to happen in cricket, when a team reviews for a wicket and get caught out for a no-ball



it clearly was a no-ball. Had nothing behind the line

No I mean that at the point of impact between the frame, there would have been a bit behind, and then slid forward. Obviously you have to give the no ball on that replay though.

Nope. Happened to India as well (though in that case it wasn't out)

 

[Burgey]

Yesssssss Bill. The first “at this level” I’ve heard since his return.

OMG. And now an “It’s all happening” too.

I’m in clover.

 

[Starfighter]

Perhaps they should replace short leg with a bollard.

I see what you're saying but that's not how I saw it. The first frame that showed him on the line with nothing behind it (just) he was only just landing or about to land, then the next frame he slid forward further over the line.

Hard to be certain though of course

There was a frame before that with the foot in the air before landing.....next frame had landed. Correct call made but if there was an in between frame it could well have showed some foot behind the line (may not have too of course)

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Pathetic by Crane. Idiot.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Anyway I'm very surprised it was actually hitting the stumps

and again brings into question how many no-balls are being bowled during the day not being called (bigger ones than that one of course)

Yeah, this is my suspicion.

I kind of say this because it struck me last night watching the SA-India match how much clearer it is when they use the high-speed camera on these calls rather than this 15fps stuff

30+ I would imagine. Even that is probably a low estimate.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Usman needs to go on and make a big one here. Other than one time in NZ I'm not sure if he's ever gone on and made a 140+ score, from memory. Batting at 3 you need to be able to make big hundreds once you're in.

30+ I would imagine. Even that is probably a low estimate.

Yeah I'd expect more, presumably from the quicks

not sure how a spinner even bowls one really?

Hi everyone, I've been a cricket fan since 1990, on the internet since 1995, and using internet forums since about 2005, but it's never occurred to me to join a cricket forum until now. I'm listening on the radio, don't have access to any TV coverage here in the UK. Apologies for talking about myself, it's the cricket that's important. Glenn McGrath is currently on Radio Five Live Sports Extra talking about his charity foundation.

I'm not sure England are going to be able to cope with the 41 degree temperatures forecast for tomorrow in Sydney. It's never been that hot in the UK in recorded history as far as I know.

 

[TNT]

rare indeed when 83 is considered a failure...

Second time this match though, wasnt Root considered to fail when he got out?.

 

[Burgey]

Welcome mate.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah, this is my suspicion.

Yeah it's super weird that the main broadcast is in 50fps but the cameras they use for line decisions only record in what I think might be 20 (or possibly 15, if you know more than I do?).

 

[AndyJS]

Thanks.

 

[Burgey]

I have a feeling Lyon is going to take five or more in England’s second innings. There’s plenty of rough for him to work with to left and right handers.

I was being hyperbolic with the 15fps stuff, I would hope it's a bit faster than thus. Probably 24.
