Khawaja says “no thankyou” to a century.

Smith would’ve scored 200 on this deck.

Doesn't look like it with the little cartwheel he did after Green's dismissal.

And the Bazball philosophy of no care.

Hopefully it continues when he has a bat in his hands.
 
Superb ton by Carey

Well done Alex Carey but he was out when he was 72 and he acknowledged it with a nod of the head. Another reason some poms will have a crack at him.

Edit Simon Taufel said he thinks the calibration is out and spike happens 2 frames later not 1, and Carey should have been given out.


That Kiwi 3rd umpire is hopeless. The rule is you can have a frame after the ball is passed the bat a bit of spike on snicko.


This is the same shit that happened to Jamie Smith in Brisbane. Get the bloody technology right and give the reviewing 3rd umpire the right to use common sense and override faulty technology.

Official AO attendance today 56,298, a solid 3k over official capacity. Rubbery figures? 🤣

There's 10,000 in the hospitality tents that don't use their seats.
 
I don't know why big footy wouldn't let me post this in the above post but this is the ABC story that went with the Jamie Smith photo.

'All we want is consistency' says England as DRS call rocks Ashes

The first Ashes Test encounters its first umpiring controversy as England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith is given out in an incident similar to one which Australia's Marnus Labuschagne survived.
www.abc.net.au www.abc.net.au

England has been left baffled after wicketkeeper Jamie Smith was controversially given out by the TV umpire on day two.
TV umpire Sharfaddoula overturned Nitin Menon's on-field not out call despite RTS appearing to show a faint murmur rather than a definitive spike.

The incident was virtually identical to one from the opening day where Marnus Labuschagne was given not out due to there not being conclusive evidence.

Cricket's Decision Review System has come under fire after a controversial overturned call from the TV umpire saw England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith dismissed on day two.

Smith was given not out on the field by umpire Nitin Menon after attempting a pull shot to a short delivery from Brendan Doggett that slid down the leg side, and Australian captain Steve Smith opted for a review.
Smith sent the decision upstairs on the advice of Travis Head, who was adamant he had heard a noise as the ball passed the Englishman's bat while fielding in close on the leg side.

As Bangladeshi TV umpire Sharfuddoula went through the review process, Real Time Snicko (RTS) showed a murmur as the ball passed Smith's bat, rather than a spike that is usually visible when there is a clear edge.
Sharfuddoula asked for several camera angles to ensure the sound shown on RTS married up with the moment the ball went past Smith's bat. One angle showed the sound came a frame after the ball had passed the bat.
After a lengthy deliberation, Menon's on-field decision was overturned, with the lengthy decision causing Doggett's over to last 10 minutes.
The decision left former England spinner Phil Tufnell baffled on ABC Radio's coverage.

Ah well bugger’em

• Kaspa’s hand was off the bat (Edgbaston 2005)
• Stokes was plumb LBW (Headingley 2019)
• Lillee’s bat was legal (WACA 1979)

..and even if the crowd did come to watch you bat, Dr Grace, you were most definitely out.

Felt a bit shit walking to the office this morning in the opposite direction of the punters.

But I am soft so an air conditioned office in the week before Christmas wasn't too bad lol.
 
It's obvious the ball hit a bee. Here it is ... sadly he didn't make it :(

Great day's Test cricket - 300+ scored in baking heat, 8 wickets, two centuries (ok one was Jacks bowling but still), full house

that 56k seems right, considering there is normally 15k or so out of the back or in the bars at any given time it was still really hard to find a seat.
 
56,298 crowd for a ground that offical capacity is 53,500 (which is a few hundred less than when the redevelopment opened in 2013) and where you loose around 3,000 seats for the sight screen set up, thanks to Tendulkar's whinging years ago, instead of about 1,200, means that 6,000 to 8,000 were out the back in the Village Green for most of the day.

It looked like most of them came out to watch Carey get his ton when he was in the nineties.

I am not sure I would have given that out as the noise is not pronounced and could have been incidental noise such as the batsman's sleeve rubbing against his shirt. I take the point that the syncronisation is not right but I do not see that as comprehensively out.

England bowling Coach David Saker is not happy with the DRS used in this series. I guess it would not be an Ashes series without the Poms bitching and moaning. The great thing is the decision went in favour of Alex Carey which would not have gone down well with the Poms or their Balmy Army.

The Poms have nothing to whinge about. After 12 years, I still struggle to understand why Broad wasn't given out caught at slip, and that was far more conclusive than the one yesterday. But of course in their eyes, it's only a controversy when they're on the wrong end of it.

The commentators heard the noise and said it was out. A shirt rubbing wouldn't have produced a blimp.

Carey has admitted he hit it. The technology failed - AGAIN. That's the point. Fix it or get rid of it.
