How is that "umpires call" when the entire wicket has been covered by the ball.

Because DRS is stupid.

Someone explain Kane Williamson's career strike rate to me please.

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, the umpire's call rule is ridiculously conservative, and only serves to encourage decision making that favours the batsman.

He spent the first 3 years of his career as a clueless boy struggling to survive in a cruel world.

Guptil to get out soon as well since he has decided to play some shots. For most players in this circumstance you should play some shots, he doesn't really have a 2nd gear he can operate in safely so needs to just do a tmac or alternatively get really positive.

 

[Cabinet96]

The thing that annoys be about the LBW thing is originally it wasn't as conservative. They changed it in late 2012.

 

[Furball]

It's the 'umpire's call' on impact which baffles me. There is zero logic to it.

Think there's some problems with the tracking when the distance between it pitching and hitting is very small.

This one looked weird. Not quite as weird as Shan Masood's LBW off Boult in the UAE, but still a little weird.

 

[viriya]

It would be hilarious if this Test was washed out.

 

[Frost]

Would be good for the series...

 

[OverratedSanity]

Saw hour long highlights of KW's innings.... absolutely glorious. How good is he?

 

[Hurricane]

That Latham lbw was h4x. Starc got it to tail in the other way.

 

[Julian87]

reckon thats the first time ive seen lyon drop one

I've seen him drop one at point before in this match: 3rd Test: Australia v South Africa at Perth, Nov 30-Dec 3, 2012 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Was an over or two after his 'catch of the century' as called by Lawry. Pretty sure it was Amla or De Villiers and they went on to make a huge, huge score.

He's just undone all the gains he made on his reputation reading novels as 12th man in England 2014.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Just repaying the compliment.

 

[morgieb]

Getting fairly close to smaling here....

 

[Johnners]

Time for some Gaz I reckon.

 

[Hurricane]

Kane's a bit loose. He has decided to play his shots.
