Re: Woakes wicket.

The umpires go on about focusing on making the right decision but what would have happened if this had been given not out on field and Australia had reviewed. Is there conclusive evidence to overturn? Is that snicko enough when theres no hotspot? I'm genuinely interested.

 

[Gnske]

Hazlewood 148kph? No ****ing way.

You'd think they would have improved speed gun technology by now

edit:


he didn't. Probably not even 138kph

Who am I going to trust? Technology or your eye? I believe everything I see.

Depends on the size of the spike, but generally speaking yes a snicko spike without a hot spot is sufficient. Sometimes if it's a tiny little one, and it was given not-out by the on-field ump they'll stick with the original call.

I seem to remember not out decisions being overturned on similar grounds before. There was one when SL bowled us out for 70 and also one in that ODI series the West Indies sucked in a few years back. If anything I remember them being even less clear.

****s sake haven't even turned on the stre am for the day yet

 

[Burgey]

Immense bowling first up from Haze. Just hit the right ares from the get go.

 

[stephen]

148kph. Is there a breeze?

 

[stephen]

Haze is certainly answering the criticisms I had of him this morning. Must have heard about Bird's bowling today.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Not a bad start to the day.

 

[Alex0paul]

Broad and Anderson to have a Lee and Kasprowicz style 10th wicket partnership

 

[stephen]

I give Starc a lot of crap but he really is a very good bowler. I just want to see Cummins bowl more.

Geez Haze is looking nasty this morning.

 

[Arachnodouche]

I have a feeling this will go to the wire yet. These two are quality obv and in some ways this raises the possobility of Oz becoming complacent and letting the game drift until it's staring them in the face again.

 

[Tom Flint]

The speed gun isnt working on bt sport??

 

[Burgey]

I don't think Australia will be complacent. Not on day five of the second test of an Ashes series. Especially not after yesterday.

 

[stephen]

Cummins suffering from "peak Dizzy" syndrome. Constantly beating the edge because he's bowling 30cm too short.

I think the way we're bowling, we certainly aren't being complacent. Could change a bit when Australia go deeper in the tail, but it would require a momentual effort from these two to even get close.

With Bairstow and Ali both now well set on 10 and 2, morgieb must be having kittens

lol

These two need at least 100 to get England back in the game, and probably more like 150. And Australia hasn't lost momentum with the ball.

 

[Starfighter]

Not a wise shot.
