***Official*** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2015

[CM Punk]

So much bounce there! Here we are looking for line and length.

 

[CM Punk]

haha loving this

More line and length.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

This should be our game plan.

Slows the scoring and creates chances.

you genius, why are you not our bowling coach

 

[Meridio]

The quality of my 'tv' is not sufficient to tell if this is out. Thoughts?

 

[straw man]

He's missed that.

 

[CM Punk]

Clear deflection.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Not sure why every team doesnt just bowls short every innings, there's literally no drawback.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

deflection off the glove. Good call.

 

[straw man]

Wrong decision. No snicko and the hotspot was on the ball, not on the glove.

 

[Meridio]

Yeah hard for me to tell, but I don't think he's hit that. Just missed the glove imo, and it looks like a deflection on the angle from behind because that part of his glove is red.

Not every NZ wicket is like this.

A number of lbw shouts which you'd think were dead set out in the first innings were going well over.

 

[straw man]

The more I see it the more horrible that 3rd umpire decision looks. I don't see any evidence to give that out at all, let alone enough evidence to overturn the on-field umpire's decision. Would be mad as an SL fan.

 

[YorksLanka]

Couldn't see any mark myself but I may be looking through my SL glasses

 

[CM Punk]

Yeah, I'm having second thoughts about that decision.

 

[dfrinku]

I'm not convinced by that decision at all.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

What I like about that decision is that he didn't take the lack of hotspot or snicko as gospel as many third umps seem to. He looked at the delivery, and saw the ball change path as it passed the glove and used that as evidence. Hotspot and snicko don't always pick stuff up, especially on the glove.

i can't be watching the same dismissal. Balls don't discretely change path in mid air without hitting something.

 

[Hurricane]

IMO it was out. Good 3rd umpiring.

I don't see the ball change path though. Try watching the ball only and ignoring the glove, and you don't see the apparent change in path.

What about when a ball swings late after its past the batsman and deviates from its original line?
