Australia v New Zealand 2nd Test at the MCG December 26-30

[The Convert]

Since coming back into the test team (against England in 2017) Paine has averaged 30.45; from 38 innings, he's made 1008 runs and been dismissed 33 times.

I get that people want him dropped for whatever reason, but let's keep it to the truth, thanks.

Amazing that is the same 30.45 over entire career.
Serves me right I was going from commentators on 7. Should have researched my self

How many ugly 38s could we have used between 2010-18.

Exactly.

Re-read what I said. It was a bee’s d*ck within that parameter. I know it wasn’t umpire’s call. Literally a millimetre to the leg side and it would have been

yes, a millimetre or two and it would have been "umpire's call" but that's because they have to draw the line between "overturn" and "stay with the umpire" at some point... then if it'd been a millimetre or two inside the "umpire's call" region then people would be going the other way and you could say "a millimetre the other way and the decision would be overturned if they had've reviewed".

Captains should take the width of "umpire's call" into account and always review if they're confident it'll be "umpire's call" in the potential that it's close enough to be 3 reds and you don't lose a review on the off-chance. It doesn't seem like captains take it into account and only really go for the review if they think it's likely to be 3 reds.

Bowled James
We haven't lacked anything with Haze going out of the side

Why bring Starc on after Patto got a wicket

And when Patto got Kane in the first...

is Warney smokin billies at lunch

Once you've had a piss what else is there to do? There's nothing more pleasant than the afternoon session with a buzz on.

 

[Wolfs]

HUGE!!!

I think he will review that.

 

[k31th]

that looks to be going down leg... surely Williamson will review.

 

[TigerCraig]

yes, but I'm not sure how it's relevant?

Because then you know the difference between a howler, ie a law error or something that if you had your time over you should have done differently and an interpretation issue where you are happy with how you handled the grey area

Same as a fieldsman dropping a dolly straght to him is worse than a diving one hander

 

[Wolfs]

And when Patto got Kane in the first...

They switched ends.

 

[k31th]

Is this a howler?

View attachment 799170

if it was 3 reds, I consider it a howler if it was given "not out" and if it was given "out" then surely it can't be a howler?

 

[StillAtLarge]

Missing 4th stump I reckon

 

[Marklar_33]

* me that’s an awful call live

 

[Wolfs]

I love you Umpire's Call at the moment

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Gone yes piss off youre out!

 

[Ron The Bear]

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

Swings and roundabouts.

 

[StillAtLarge]

lol there is no way that was hitting leg

 

[Mateyman]

Yeah I did think going down live but even up I guess

 

[SSwans2011]

That's a shocking call. Looked like it was going down leg live.

 

[PhatBoy]

* me this is abject

 

[Marmozet]

******* bullshit

 

[The Convert]

Spewing if you are Williamson. Ordinary decision

this one for Williamson is barely clipping the stumps so it thoroughly fell on the judgment of the umpire. one goes the complete other way to the LBW missed earlier.

 

[rippersnipper]

Absolutely no chance I'm ever giving that out on-field. Christ

 

[yakka man]

Harsh call from Erasmus.
