2nd Test at the MCG, Melbourne, 26 Dec - 30 Dec 2020

[Daemon]

That snicko didn't exactly line up properly, too much noise before and after it passed, not convinced it was out at all

 

[OverratedSanity]

HotSpot misses a lot of fairly faint edges in fairness, whereas Snicko can clearly tell where the noise was.

It wasnt a sharp spike though. I wouldnt have given that. Bad use of snicko

 

[Spikey]

What's even worse is that those moves could all easily be justified.

well there's some selection errors that need to be corrected (Burns, having both of Wade/Head) but they won't pick the correct replacements

 

[Burgey]

I mean it wasn't Khawaja 2013 bad

But that snicko makes me go hmm

Remember the Pietersen one which he smashed in two but they knocked back because no hot spot? That was ****ing hilarious

There seemed a deviation

 

[silentstriker]

Uhhh what??? How is that out??

more to the point the bat and ball were not visibly in contact with each other which, last i checked, was part of the protocol

 

[social]

Yeah but you can’t replace blokes for being soft in the head and bring in Khawaja ffs

I am no fan of the pillow but he’s better than these guys & has runs at home to back it

 

[Spikey]

great now I don't even know which one of sound or light is faster. thanks Simon

 

[jcas0167]

Paine unlucky there.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Warne getting visibly excited at being able to get stuck into umpires once again here.

 

[Gnske]

Okay I take it back, that looks up in the lower vicinity of Usman 2013 with both angles.

dropping blokes coz they suck, tbf

 

[stephen]

Green, Green the block machine.

 

[Shri]

[mr_mister]

Waiting for his tweet with too many exclamation marks

 

[OverratedSanity]

I think there was another one where a better FPS would've helped a bit

Pants mouth

It's not like it's a skill that can't be worked on. If you get to the pitch of the ball, literally he has nothing he can do to get you out. His bowing is too flat to be beaten in the air against and it forces him to drop short and get cut. Jadeja shouldn't rate a ****ing wicket outside the subcontinent.

This is nonsense sorry. Jadeja is perfectly capable of flighting and drifting thr ball and often does it when batsmen start using their feet against them. He's also very accurate and good at varying his speeds. There is no gamebreaking strategy to playing him. He's just a ****ing good bowler. Most of us wanted him to be India's lead spinner overseas ahead of Ashwin. He's not Herath levels of amazing, but it's hard to think of any left arm finger spinner at his level in recent years.

I absolutely heard that snick on the Paine dismissal replay btw.
