Border Gavaskar Trophy, India v Australia, 3rd Test 1-5 March, 1430hrs at Indore

[Ischenko]

Waiting for the cheating claims

Btw guys that was a Indian umpire. Just saying.

There we go!

 

[Crimson Azure]

Great start!

Only two wickets missed in the first over.

 

[FRUMPY]

and if we review the edge, for some strange reason, snicko takes a while to come up (computing....computing....computing....)

and if we review the LBW, for some strange reason, ball-tracker takes an extraordinary amount of time to come (computing.....computing....computing....)

 

[BarneyBent]

My best guess for that first one is that the crowd was loud so the sound wasn't obvious on the field. Only explanation, our guys barely went up, but Rohit turning his head immediately should have been a giveaway.

 

[corbies]

Why are umpires not giving clear edges? a symptom of technology is losing ya balls I guess

Umpires missed clear edges before technology. A hell of a lot.

 

[PhatBoy]

FFS all the talk of the crap (non) review which it was, what about the incompetence of the umpire not giving it out?

First one yes, second one - well it’s gone through above the stumps without seemingly getting an upward hand from the pad so you would think to the naked eye it’s going over

 

[k31th]

Apparently Cricinfo keeps a tally of overturned decisions by the umpires during a test. The tally will be worth following with Joel Wilson and Nitin Menon officiating. Menon has got two wrong already.

Even if they do, they weren't overturned, in this case. They'd have to keep track of all of the broadcast "overturns", not just the reviewed ones, which I doubt they would.

 

[hawkman]

That LBW never looked out. Surprised by ball tracking there

 

[danielnajdek]

There we go!

Just pointing it out mate.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Need to calm down a bit about the LBW no umpire is given that out.

 

[Magma]

if it is that umpire's home ground surely he should be more familiar with the bounce for the lbw? that one was surprising though but i guess we're used to more bounce

 

[Headless]

Just pointing it out mate.

Why?

 

[corbies]

Starc bowling really really well.

 

[JimmyBC]

Umpires missed clear edges before technology. A hell of a lot.

They seem more gutless now though

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

That LBW never looked out. Surprised by ball tracking there

Yer its a bit ridiculous complaining about that only mode of dismissal we went up for was caught behind.

Thought Carey not going straight up influenced the umpire.

 

[Woody15]

Bowling beautifully here Starc.

Not as beautiful and as fast as Morris would have though. But still really good.

 

[damochandler]

3 spinners going with what worked last test. Expect more sweeping then

 

[danielnajdek]

Why?

Indian umpire in the last test was also s**t. Pattern developing.

 

[k31th]

Cricket is as much a psychological game as it is a physical-technique-based game... How the Aussie team respond to that first over's debacle will define how this first session goes.

 

[FRUMPY]

That LBW never looked out. Surprised by ball tracking there

Then Lyob will appeal for LBW and see them all bounce way over the top

 

[Woody15]

And then some slop.

 

[melanChronic]

Two missed dismissals in the first over, then see Joel Wilson is at the other end:

 

[Headless]

Indian umpire in the last test was also s**t. Pattern developing.

Huge sample. Nice.

 

[Westend]

On to my third beer

nek minute - 0-100 at lunch....
