**Official** 5th Test at Sydney, 3-7 Jan 2025

[silentstriker]

Sorry that was out with relative certainty. No need for fake controversy.

Amount of time snicko picks up **** at baseline, plus apparently now showing things when you smash it, you cannot say 'relative certainty' here whether you think it was out or not.

 

[Spark]

I saw Burgey's picture of the pitch this morning and there were tramlines of green up and down the pitch. Just turned on the tv now and it seems even greener. Think I'm with Spark here and wouldn't want to bat today.

Oh boy another controversial review.

If anything it's gotten more difficult as the day has progressed

 

[Starfighter]

Joel is actually smarter than all of you. He knows Australia don't want to bat tonight and he's just found a slightly less direct way to **** us this time

Heh, I could easily see us losing three or more in the time remaining the way the pitch is behaving.

 

[Spark]

This is very stupid by Starc

 

[Burgey]

Honestly, bowl at the stumps here, unless we don’t want to bat tonight, which I also get

 

[King Kane]

Joel doing the Aussies a favour there, that should not have been overturned on that evidence, this is going to erupt.

 

[Starfighter]

Weren't they using it last test? Pretty sure they were

They weren't

 

[Burgey]

Joel doing the Aussies a favour there, that should not have been overturned on that evidence, this is going to erupt.

So when there’s no spike as it goes past the glove it shouldn’t be out, and when there is a spike as it goes past the glove it also shouldn’t be out? Got it

The timing of the tick isn't a coincidence and it looks close enough to be bat or glove.

 

[Window]

Geez the SEN commentary is unlistenable with the constant sponsor callouts. I’ve had my fill of Ozito today.

Thinking back to that Sheffield Shield match a couple of years ago where Tassie were bowled out for 68 by Tremain aiming at big cracks right in line with the stumps.

If India score 180 or less here it'll be the 4th test out of 5 tests here that they've done that in an innings.

Only one to miss out was their first innings 260 they scored in Brisbane before the washout and that was only due to Jadeja propping them up with a handy 77 and Number 11 Akash Deep scoring 31 when they were 9 for 213 down.

They really have been rubbish with the bat this summer.

4-1 would've been the fairest result it looks so far IMO.

 

[SteveNZ]

You may as well replace Wilson with a coin flipped by the match referee.

I'd go so far as to say you not only may as well, you have the responsibility to do so.

The law says there must be conclusive evidence to overturn, right? That ain't conclusive that the spike comes with ball on glove.

What is it with West Indian umpires

 

[subshakerz]

Bolland deserves a fifer here.

It has literally been one bloke and some random rear guards to keep them in games.

Bumrah wants to bowl tonight ASAP

 

[Skyliner]

Why has Snicko turned into a piece of the proverbial? Have they recalibrated it this season? We’ve seen it for decades have that consistent flat line and then either a sharp spike if it’s bat or something flatter if pad or glove. Now in the space of two tests we have had absolutely nothing show up when ball appeared to hit bat and glove, then one where it appeared to hit bat but the sound didn’t synch up with the footage, then today the sound was seemingly after the glove - although the ball seemed to deviate after touching the glove in the front on view. This is not the Snicko we know and love, something has changed.

Gambhir gonna hate this irresponsible batting from Bumrah
