***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

[Starfighter]

I think if anything it hit the top glove which was holding the bat. They made the decision way too quickly though IMO.

There's no conclusive mark on hot spot to show that - there's only random reflections, and the snicko spike is too late. No way is that evidence to overturn.

 

[morgieb]

Yeah that's a bit too inconclusive to overturn I think. But I also think it did get the glove. Tough one.

 

[Cabinet96]

Bairstow in at six. Was that confirmed in between games?

 

[stephen]

Yeah you have to feel for the batsman there. Definitely didn't look out to me.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah ok that might actually be out. I don't think there's enough evidence to overturn it but I'm now leaning to more out than not out

 

[morgieb]

What happens if the umpire's decision was upheld in that case? Do Australia still lose a review?

 

[Tangles]

When 2 nien Comms say it wasnt conclusive then it's a really **** decision.

 

[Starfighter]

'His headed makes a woody sound' heh.

And no Clarke, not clear footage at all. Why wasn't the off side snicko shown?

 

[morgieb]

Yeah ok that might actually be out. I don't think there's enough evidence to overturn it but I'm now leaning to more out than not out

Yeah, this is my view tbh.

 

[Cabinet96]

That straight camera shows it couldn't have hit the glove that was off the bat IMO.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Disgusting decision by the 3rd umpire. Conclusive proof is needed to overturn any decision and there wasn't any there.

Was confirmed at the toss according to Nine comms.

At the very least they should've looked it over properly. Looked like it all happened too quickly.

 

[Starfighter]

A top edge that doesn't carry most or all of the way to the rope? How novel.

 

[Cabinet96]

Malan keeps showing enough ticker to not warrant being dropped but on boxing day I'm going to see his record of 9 matches and an average of 25 and wonder what he's doing out there.

 

[Daemon]

****ing hell can boycs stfu, everyone knows he played it in the worst way possible, no need to keep going on and on about it

 

[morgieb]

If that had happened to India they would've forfeited the match here and there.

 

[S.Kennedy]

I fell asleep - couldn't make it any longer. I see Vince and Root made a couple of pretty twenties - business as usual for England - and some dodgy decision against Rocky?

 

[morgieb]

Wonder if Nigel Llong gate was an influence towards that decision?

 

[Spikey]

Was confirmed at the toss according to Nine comms.

I confirmed it last night ****s
