There was a muffled appeal for caught behind, but umpire Simon Lightbody didn’t budge at the non-striker’s end. However, before the following delivery, Henriques was seen arguing with the on-field official as Maxwell motioned towards the venue’s big screen.

Speaking to Fox Cricket on the player mic, Henriques revealed the Sixers weren’t permitted to call for a review because replays of the delivery had been shown on the big screen before the end of the 15-second DRS timer.

“We appealed, given not out,” Henriques explained.

“We went for the review ... but replays keep coming on too early, and because they put the replay up before the DRS counter, we weren’t allowed to appeal.”
Haha that's cooked. The TV direction - and I think it's the TV people who are responsible for that - has been ****ed all summer

I can only think because there wasn't a loud appeal, etc, the production crew pressed replay which seems...not good

What happened to Paddy Dooley? Had his couple seasons now he's done? Can't remember if he was that good last season

IIRC he was crap
He was effective though. Slightly better than Hatzoglou from memory. Both similar in that batsmen inexcpicable couldn't figure out what they were bowling. Dooley was just bowling left-arm orthodox/wrong-uns/whatever that turned away from the right hander and Hatzoglou just bowls dead straight balls. But professional cricketers kept playing them down the wrong line time after time

You asked specifically about last season, I said that - in my recollection - he was crap.

He was, averaged 45 at 8.8 an over.
