Joe Burns has been dumped by the Italian cricket team. He wasn't amazing in the final world cup qualification round. But surely Italy don't have the sort of depth where he's replaceable (particularly as one of their other better players turned out for England vs the PMs XI last month, which would make him ineligible for Italy now)

Was packed.

Unfortunately had to leave just after lunch as Dad took a turn so we took an ambulance from the Oval to the RAH. The paramedical staff were brilliant as was the SACA attendant Richard.

TBH its too full.

I like that they've opened up more areas for extra membership but theres just too many people now.

In smaller crowds people can gravitate to shaded areas, or sneak into bar areas to cool off

Plus members can come in later and still get a seat if they're not up to a full day

Now many have to tough it out in the sun for long periods

Yeah, he sat with us til paramedics arrived. Then helped arrange a wheelchair which we had to carry back down from near top of Westen Stand.

He's stable again but needs to pass some tests to leave hospital.

England considers complaint to ICC after Alex Carey’s Snicko admission​

England is considering a complaint to the ICC after Snicko technology was at the centre of a dramatic moment which helped Alex Carey dodge dismissal and score his first Ashes ton.

England have spoken to the match referee and will consider lodging a formal complaint to cricket chiefs after an operator error with real time snicko robbed the tourists of Alex Carey’s wicket in Adelaide.
In a DRS howler which could potentially have an impact on the pivotal third Ashes Test, third party operator BBG Sports who operate real time snicko accidentally raised the sound from the wrong stump mic causing the nick from Carey’s bat to not sync with images of the ball passing the bat.
An operator error from BBG which is run by Warren Brennan, raised the sound from the bowler’s end instead of the batsmen’s end – prompting fury from England who should have had Carey out for 72 and been into Australia’s tail with the home side teetering on the scoreboard at 6-245.

He's definitely not worth $4 million.

Well he is apparently. I don't follow the IPL but I believe he performed very well last season, a lot of money but I'm sure he deserves it.

No he shouldn't have, **** em haha
 
It does seem more than a bit ridiculous, and staggeringly incompetent, that the technician used the microphone from the BOWLER's end for the Carey DRS decision.

Carey shouldn't have walked, but the techie who was responsible for that should be given his DCM (Don't Come Monday).

Still sounds more of a 'calibration' issue.

If they were using the microphone at the other end wouldn't the 'spike' be even further AFTER it passed the bat.

Using the wrong microphone doesn't explain how the spike was still before the ball went past the bat.

I did wonder how the spike came to be BEFORE it passed the bat, given the extra time required for the sound waves to travel the length of the pitch. It's a weird one.
