Interesting two deliveries.

 

[Spark]

Why is that not umpires call on chase?

Probably just over half the ball outside line of leg.

Can't review that!!

Why would there be umpire's call? There's no doubt on where it pitches, either it's inside the line or it isn't.

 

[TestMatch]

WI are so weird. Six wickets down, and we only now get to their three best batsmen.

 

[Bijed]

30 runs to avoid follow-on.. This could get interesting. But I sense a Holder special.

Nah, it's too late to really think they might follow on now. Dowrich now, then Holder and even Roach isn't terrible.

Because on the other side theres an umpires call for whether the player is LBW. If the ball is a certain amount outside the line umpires call is given in a review.

Surely the same logic applies. Umpire given it out half the ball or slightly less than half the ball was inline.

Think the margin of error on point of impact on the pitch is smaller compared to point of impact on the pad.

Some spell this.

There's doubt in the exact point of impact where the ball hits the pad because of various non-linear interaction effects between ball and pad which alter the trajectory which make it difficult to determine precisely. You don't have any of that where the ball lands, you know exactly where it was.

Only would have to clip the stumps being given out.

We never got to see that. As a percentage that was probably 51% of the ball outside the line of leg stump.

What are the margins for umpires call on the offside and is there an umpires call for the legside?

...umpire's call for offside? What?

 

[andruid]

Dowrich vs. Broad. The showdown hipsters came to see.

 

[TestMatch]

Oh god, Broad's doing it again. 18 runs to avoid follow on.

Broad might do it.

 

[wpdavid]

TMS reckon that Stokes is struggling. Why on earth is he bowling?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Did they really upped the volume of the fake crowd noise?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

10 more to make England bat again.

 

[Howe_zat]

Big wicket. Such a different story bowling to roach v holder.

 

[wpdavid]

Yup, interesting game now. Even if they just avoid the follow on actually.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Didn't look too clever with Stokes. Holding his torso as he walked off.

Bra-fecking-vo, Joseph. Top bowler management.

 

[Howe_zat]

That’s such a tiny inside edge I refuse to believe it’s the reason for the not out

That’s inhuman

Why did we stop using hotspot?

Maybe slightly outside leg, IMHO. Looked to be hitting the stumps.

 

[Howe_zat]

I’m not contesting the decision, it’s a perfectly fine outcome but I can’t believe the umpire saw it live.
