hahaha, smith. it goes both ways. when it isn't clear whether a catch is taken cleanly you always see batsman sticking around and pressuring the umpires to check the catch.

Smith's not wrong to wonder why the umpires shouldn't check the replays on their own initiative when in doubt. Would help improve the accuracy in decision making.

 

[dermo]

this is by far the worst possible commentary trio

 

[Cabinet96]

shut up Smith this is not a new phenomenon for claiming catches

Reviews have really confused commentators on this stuff. I was watching the India v South Africa test and the commentators were saying because Faf was given out on the field, them checking the catch had carried meant that the fielder got the benefit of the doubt. The umpire checked to see if it carried, it wasn't a ****ing review, there's no benefit of doubt to the umpire in such a situation.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is terrible terrible commentary

They're allowed to I think.

They're probably confused because usually they do only use it on review by a player. It shows the usefulness of umpires using the technology to assist with their decision making in the first instance. They should be able to do the same with other decisions as I think Smith is suggesting.

Can they get Dirk Nannes a 9 contract?

 

[BeeGee]

Ross Smith? Jesus.

 

[viriya]

How come Johnson seems to have reverted to his old self?

 

[Athlai]

Taylor's greatest innings. I know the SL knock was gun, but the pushing through his form issues, making it through the Starc spell and a big daddy hundred. This is his best.

 

[Flem274*]

ross the boss shows up in a big test series when the going is tough and his back is to the wall yet again

 

[adub]

I learnt a painful lesson about writing off Mitch Johnson, but there is night and day between 150k+ MJ and 140k MJ.

 

[Spikey]

at some point, someone's gonna question johnson's future.

How come Johnson seems to have reverted to his old self?

I'd say this is a bit different from the old Johnson. It's more like he's lost a yard of pace and on unhelpful surfaces that makes him a lot less effective given he doesn't have the tricks of some.
