BBL Game 14 Sydney Sixers v Melbourne Stars 1735hrs @ the SCG

I like that, that is out, but by the letter of the law that ball hit the deck.

 

[k31th]

It’s consistent

calling that "out" is not consistent with recent decisions

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It’s only Roger’s who cares if the spud is out

 

[tigs2010]

Just a blatantly wrong decision but they should change the rules to make that a catch anyway

 

[Wallaby]

First - it should be a catch according to the spirit of the game.

Second - there was no way his 'fingers were under the ball'. Stupid law - but it should have been not out.

Key word is control do feel he had control that one

Oh yes the old the rules only apply to players you like post to prove even you know it’s a howler

 

[tigs2010]

Harper made it past 1. Sixers struggling

I would have given that not out. The ball touched the ground before the fielder was in control of his body and his movements.

 

[k31th]

control of both the ball AND his body; he definitely didn't have control of his body... exactly the same as the "Starc" one in the Ashes.

Third umpire straight up lied to "get the right result" - did it at the point they were showing the clearest angle of the ground ball too haha

 

[Jimthegreat]

Looked like he forced the nails to hook under the ball when landing then cocked his wrists further to prevent it touching the ground.

No way I could be sure of that though. I need close up in real slow motion with some stills

Given the ‘quality’ of umpires in the middle, they’re clearly scraping the bottom of the barrel with the 3rd umpire!!!

People want Maxwell in not Rogers trying to imitate some C grade hack.

 

[danielnajdek]

Harper another reject pick up.

 

[beez]

How is that ever considered out?

Clearly not out. Always has been interpreted that way.

Not sure why there was confusion over Starc. Ditto here.

 

[Around the Wicket]

LMAO I think thats a catch the rule sucks but he clearly grounded the ball and its been a hot topic of late so safe to say that chick will be out of a job come tomorrow, clearly hit the ground.

 

[k31th]

lol Harper didn't even hit it

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Should have reviewed it

Out of a job? She’ll be promoted to central umpire for the Sydney smash as a reward.

Old Claire Polosak umpired a grand total of 10 FC/listA matches before getting the call up to the big leagues

 

[troybe]

Glenn Maximumwell!!!!

 

[k31th]

gee Maxwell generates some serious power in those wrists :O

 

[k31th]

and then gets himself out... just a dumb shot

 

[nobbyiscool]

Well that was fun for a minute.

Absolute rubbish shot to get out.
