**Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

[Burgey]

What are the odds of Akash Deep doing an Ashwin at Sydney here and blocking this out?

 

[Redbacks]

Bad technique by Head. Rule #1: stay low as it’s always faster coming up

 

[Wanna_Be_AB]

wtf sundar why a single on first ball

 

[Gnske]

Was busy at the time. But how good was Langer saying most of the Australian population was too stupid to know what apoplectic meant

 

[subshakerz]

Why is Sundar rotating the strike?

 

[Burgey]

Fmd the old umbrella field. Love it

 

[Daemon]

What are the odds of Alash Deep doing an Ashwin at Sydney here and blocking this out?

3 overs to go and he does a Shannon Gabriel imo

 

[Shri]

wtf sundar first ball single

 

[Kraken]

Couple from Boland now or with the new rock?

 

[SkyBlue]

What is Washington doing taking a single off the first ball?

Pretty pathetic

 

[Burgey]

3 overs to go and he does a Shannon Gabriel imo

Omg still the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen someone do on a cricket field

 

[stephen]

Never again should he be picked for Test matches.View attachment 43846

I would have thought his bad run was 46 tests long.

 

[kyear2]

Interesting tongue in cheek question just asked by one of the commentators.

Why is it whenever a batsman fails, India drops a bowler.

 

[Gnske]

Omg still the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen someone do on a cricket field

Gabriel is the bowling equivalent of Officer Doofy

 

[vicleggie]

What are the odds of Akash Deep doing an Ashwin at Sydney here and blocking this out?

20% at most.

 

[Prince EWS]

I don’t think it’s fair to overturn a decision basis subjective visual evidence, no?

Looking at the size of spikes on Snicko is also "subjective visual evidence".

That's just extremely obviously out.

 

[Wanna_Be_AB]

akash deep its your moment to become immortal... block that ****

 

[Son Of Coco]

Third umpire a Bangladeshi? Color me surprised.

Jaiswal was out. He knew he was out.

 

[Skyliner]

 

[Kirkut]

I would have thought the huge deflection would have been pretty compelling evidence lol

It wasn't a huge delfection, but there was one.

As per the umpiring SOP, decisions aren't overturned unless there is a compelling evidence. The third umpire could visually make out that the ball deflected but wasn't certain yet.

Going by the semantics of the above, then yes Jaiswal should have got the benefit of doubt, but we all know that the ball hit the glove.
