Honestly, I think the sensitivity of the snicko has been turned up beyond where it should be.

We still don't really know how it works; how aggressively it filters "unwanted" noise, how it decides what unwanted noise is, or whether it uses some sort of constant false alarm style algorithm. It really, really needs to be explained tbh.

The more I ponder this the more I reckon it’s fine for edges outside off but once you’re looking at anything inside the line of the batsman’s body it become a bit of a lottery

So 185 it is. Really don't know what's par on this pitch, but it does look a pretty difficult deck to bat on. Honestly could argue it's par or slightly above par.

I wonder if Joel sided with Australia because of all the controversies about him. Two not out decisions overturned in Melbourne, Jaiswal surviving a very lucky umpire's call, the Smith catch that wasn't....

I thought he went the other way on the Smith catch for exactly the same reason. But honestly with him, it's more likely that 'miney' came up instead of 'eeney' so he said not out

Yeah at the end of the day, Australia would be happy to get India sub 200. But not quite a tight as they could have been, plenty of extras.

Bumrah is approaching Kapil Dev areas, Bumrah is as good a bowler as Kapil Dev but Kapil would have kept slogging sixes with the bat, he was an ATG.

Also, I think at some point we should go back to the first principles. The whole point of introducing technologies was go get rid of clear horrible decisions like this. For most of the rest, I think just go with the on field decision and play on. There has to be some very well-defined 'conclusive' standard to overturn.
