BBL BBL|08 Game 26: Brisbane Heat v Melbourne Renegades @ 'Gabba

[Carbine Chaos]

He grabbed it off his chest! How is that not in control?

Pretty much this. Out.

33.3 Making a catch

The act of making a catch shall start from the time when the ball first comes into contact with a fielder’s person and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control over both the ball and his/her own movement.

 

[Jimthegreat]

How is that not a catch? Caught it on his chest, grabbed it in his hand. Once if grabbed it in his hand he was in control of the ball. He threw it away in perfect control.

 

[The Speaker]

He didn't control the disposal of the ball..he was trying to throw it to his teammate

What, did his arm decide to move all on its own?

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Was definitely not in control when he threw it away

OK. That sounds convincing enough for the non-out call.

 

[RedFury]

Why did he throw it up? If he thought it was rolling off him he just needed to grab it. The throw to the other fielder looked like he lost track of it after it hit his face and he assumed it had hit the ground?

 

[eddiesmith]

Was never in control of the ball

Well good call but the third umpire then

 

[ROOTA#6]

He tried to throw the ball and failed

 

[SSwans2011]

I don't think he was throwing it to Mujeeb. I think it was just a bizarre reflex because he'd just been hit in the face by a cricket ball travelling at a rapid pace lol.

 

[Jimthegreat]

I thought he would've been the moment he picked it up off his chest. Once he did that he can throw it where he wants.

 

[The Speaker]

Anyone arguing it wasn't a catch can only do so because it doesn't feel like a catch. The rules exist so that we have some kind of legality to what does and doesn't feel like a catch, but in this case the letter of the law would not actually logically disqualify it as a catch. So the law does not actually do what it's meant to do, which means either you rule on what it feels like and try to justify it by law afterwards, or you rule by the letter of the law and ignore that it didn't feel right.

He tried to throw the ball and failed

Looked like a throw to me. What else could it be called?

 

[dumb]

More or less control than gibbs WC?

 

[corbies]

Why did he throw it up? If he thought it was rolling off him he just needed to grab it. The throw to the other fielder looked like he lost track of it after it hit his face and he assumed it had hit the ground?

Not sure he was thinking anything else other then * my nose hurts.

 

[SSwans2011]

Yeah that drop is going to kill us unfortunately. Think we're already rooted tbh.

 

[010203]

Lucky for Harris.

 

[eddiesmith]

The Gibbs WC example shows there must be some control in the throw, plus we watched it in slow mo, he picked it up and threw it uncontrolled immediately

 

[scoman]

Game just about done along with Heats season. Is that dramatic enough?

There's no way he meant to throw it where it went. It slips out of his hands before he intends to release it.

I think it might be time to move on from the McCullum/Vettori combo if they actually want to get anywhere.

 

[010203]

That was a good cricket shot by Harris

 

[RedFury]

Not sure he was thinking anything else other then **** my nose hurts.

Yeah it did feel like confusion after the ball hitting him. I don't think it registered with him that he'd technically 'caught it' - which is understandable after copping a ball to the face like that.

 

[SSwans2011]

I think it might be time to move on from the McCullum/Vettori combo if they actually want to get anywhere.

Agreed. First they took the bash thing too far and now we don't really look like we have any plans at all (with bat or ball). We kind of needed to win that title when we had a chance, because now we've been set back a few years.

 

[Crashy]

Game over, Renegades can just knock it around now

edit. next ball wicket
