1st Test: England vs Australia [Match Thread] - Umpiring/DRS in other thread (cont in Pt.2)

[Glenno23]

Ironic that Broads smash to 1st slip gets missed by the ump and we wasted out our reviews. Broad then goes on to make another 30 odd

Then we get the faintest of nicks and BAM, test over, 15 runs short

******* hell it's cruel

 

[Sprout]

I've seen enough to think we can win this series.

It was a clear edge.. bat was nowhere near the pad, not understanding the controversy.

If it was so clear why did the umpire not give it out on the field?

Yep, I'd be livid if that was giving not out if the roles were reversed.

 

[hamohawk1]

afl's review system would've ruled that as inconclusive

 

[PAdman]

Bad Hands please get dropped. Bring back Wade, he'd never cost us the ashes.

 

[ClokesShankedIt]

Any one else think that the hotspot was too low?

 

[Doctor Feel]

Snicko shows a sound well after the ball goes past the bat, but never mind.

 

[Macca_]

Could you possibly hate the pommy cricket team any more right at the moment.
Smug scumbags!

Imagine if it was c Broad b Swann

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Clarke should just pull our team out of the tour. Fck the lot of them, fck england, fck the corrupt umpires that is flat out cheating s**t

Let's not sink down to India's level but gee whiz, why didn't it go back to umpires call?

 

[CAS79]

Looked like a small hot spot on the bat. I thought there was a noise when it was live.

There was no evidence the spot came after the ball passed. The bat was out of sight of the camera behind Haddin until after the ball had passed. Before judging it needs to be seen not to be there before the passes and than there after it has. You could see Clarke's under that criteria. Not Haddin's.

disappointing end to a quality test match

as ive said all along, the indians have it right. DRS needs to go

 

[Smeg Head]

The fact that those dickheads said there wasn't enough evidence to overturn Trotts not out LBW, yet win thanks to a slew of dodgy or umpires call wickets. Foul absolutely foul.

 

[TheOz]

Snicked his pad with his bat.....

bat was nowhere near the pad.

 

[BG32]

Haddin on suicide watch

 

[Gaben]

If it was so clear why did the umpire not give it out on the field?

Clear as in clear upon review

 

[Malifice]

DRS decides the match.

I thought it was out just quietly.

 

[BarneyBent]

Crazy, and could have been called inconclusive, but let's face it, he nicked it. Turned the head as soon as it went past him, there was a deflection, there was the tiniest of hot spots, and there was nothing else to cause the sound.

 

[ProudCat]

Fantastic match and probably an edge but IMO cricket is the loser with this DRS crap. Just a s**t system which leaves everybody confused. Fix it or you'll lose people to the sport with the way it's being administered.

 

[SizeMatters]

he hit the ball, but with the small amount of evidence it took some major balls to call it out. Screw you Broad you arrogant prick you're just like your s**t father.

 

[monty1104]

******* sooky lala poms get their way

Oh the ironing. Have you read the past few pages?

 

[bradrowe#32]

Get ****ed you ******* cheats.

 

[VirgilHilts]

Jeez, you lot need to pull your heads out of your arses. Mark on the edge of the bat, massive noise, snicko shows the edge: what else do you need to call that out, ffs.

 

[Doctor Feel]

This will either motivate us or crush us.
