*Official* New Zealand in Australia 2019/20

Haha, **** me, we’ll be bowling again in 40 degrees and batting again under lights, won’t we? Best laid plans.

They'll bat to tea day 4 and then get us 5 down under lights, and we may survive the next two sessions on day 5 but then get all out in the evening again.

 

[ataraxia]

There wasn't any whatsoever. The only 'doubt' there might've been was a slight raise in snicko after it passed the gloves before it crashed into the helmet.

Steve Smith didn't go straight up, and touched his ear. He ****ing knew it, the idiot savant. Apparently the third umpire doesn't.

Devil's advocate but I think I saw a white mark and some movement away. Remember, Snicko can be wrong (cf. Mitchell).

 

[Burgey]

For about the hundredth time, I absolutely hate his soft signal bullshit. Why the **** can't the third umpire make his own decision instead when he has so much more evidence instead of going back to the split second dodgy on field decision? It's such a rubbish idea.

Was it a 50/50 carried thing? Haven’t seen it

 

[Ultra Instinct]

And the bias ****ing comms saying its not only out but he didn't fancy it anyway.

**** this. I'm wild about that

It's hilarious how they've brushed a controversial decision under the rug.

Mark Waugh is particularly awful.

 

[TT Boy]

Southee not bothering to get into line. This should be fun.

 

[Ultra Instinct]

Really insightful commentary around that incident ... "Oh, he'd be happy to be out and not facing Starc anyway."

So insulting ... morons.

I'm begging for the channel 9 commentators.

Mark Waugh is that bad.

 

[OverratedSanity]

NZ have been far too good a team in the last 4-5 years to have been so inept whenever they play australia. Would it be lazy to say there's a mental block somewhere, they should be doing so much better yet they always wilt ffs

Nope, the only white mark was the reflection of the sun when they played the video through some more, which disappeared anyway. He didn't glove it.

Because nothing. It's a stupid system

Nah there was no question Smith caught it. Question was did de Grandhomme glove it. Dar thought so, it got referred, no real evidence to say he gloved it, but it remained out anyway.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nah, the doubt was over whether it hit the glove. Nothing to indicate it did.

Ball passed adjacent to de Grandhomme's glove before deflecting off the helmet to slips. Dar took ages to give it, no one seemed too sure, I didn't see a mark on hotspot and the only spike on snicko was after the ball had passed.

Nah, it seems like it. Looks like a completely different team, with the exception of the bowlers and Rosco and Kane.

 

[Burgey]

So they were just saying on the radio of Ferg or Haze gets hit and concussed while batting they can be replaced but obvs not for their current injuries

I think they’ll need to either have subs for everything or nothing tbh

Well it’s clearly not a case of soft signal **** then

And every Australian not on the field thought it was out.

 

[jcas0167]

Commentators trying to judge whether it was out based on de Grandhomme's indecision whether to review and lack of apparent emotion at the decision. There was NOTHING on snicko as it went past the gloves. Nothing on hotspot. He didn't hit it you ****s.

 

[OverratedSanity]

True but you know what I mean. It should be overturned.

 

[Spark]

Just saw the CdG dismissal. How was that not overturned...?

 

[Starfighter]

Well I didn't ****.
