This is why they should have DRS in the BBL.
Absolutely. But aside from that, the number of total stinkers in the BBL this year has got to be a worry. The Australian umpiring panel seems to have as much depth as the Australian top order batting.

to be honest I think Starc has underperformed a little considering the physical gifts and talent he has. Tall left armers who bowl 150 k and swing it. Hell he could have been a great. Just don't think he has the cricketing brain of the very best bowlers

Themanbun yeah Sammie is bit upset but umpiring not an easy gig.
It's pretty easy on TV slow motion replays from a million angles and hotspot etc etc but out there it's tough.
He heard a noise and thought out. He got it wrong but umps shouldn't be so crucified for doing their best imo.
Thanks for this. On a related note, it must be coincidental that 'reverse swing' has disappeared all around the world since that issue in South Africa.
I think there is a degree of truth in that. There has been plenty of times when he has frustrated me with the decisions he makes when bowling. Things like bowling 6 short balls in an over to a tail-ender when just one full straight delivery would cause them all sorts of trouble. I am also not sure we have had a great bowling attack since Craig McDermott. He had the bowlers bowling smart and got fantastic results from an attack that was James Pattinson, Peter Siddle, and Ben Hilfenhaus. Pattinson was a generational talent but the other two were solid test bowlers at best (Siddle got a lot out of his ability - smart). They took India's best ever batting line-up apart.
Philippe is the one I've lost a lot of respect for. Shouldn't have gone up.

Also, Marsh was dudded but his response should have got him suspended. Goose.
Umps make mistakes, bowling teams always appeal when they know it's not out, batsman sook it up when they think they're not out.
That's cricket.
Disagree mate.
Marsh behaviour simply unacceptable at any level.
Plus SpiderBurton22 imo not talking to my mate after game as still sooking is pathetic imo.
Christ Sam didn't mean to get it wrong ffs
I was think along the lines of the suspended player has made a point of voicing his displeasure at being left out of national sides previously, so maybe the "authorities" decided to get one back at him.Because the "Marsh" family are a protected species.
Geoff Marsh wasn't any good anyway unless want to go to sleep.

But yeah MM is a massive dickhead and he is his own worst enemy. I hope someone has sat him down and given it to him with both barrels - a genuine reality check.
That's actually a good point. Adam Zampa got a game for an audible obscenity, the Stars lost the game that had they won they'd have made the finals.
Mitch Marsh avoids ban, cops $5,000 fine for BBL umpire outburst - ABC News
Clearly Marsh here said "Fuzz" and that's not an obscenity and it wasn't audible anyway. Zampa said "F*********CKKKKKK" and everyone in a 5 mile radius heard it.
Either that or Zampa has said "Fuzz" before whereas Marsh doesn't even know what "Fuzz" means,.
Zampa was a repeat offender, that's why he got suspended.
I think early Siddle is underrated. Bowled 150kph inswingers. I watched a doco with the English test team and they were saying they were absolutely terrified of him.
I like Sidds but he hasn't bowled close to 150kph for well over a decade. He was never an elite strike bowler but adapted really well to that workhorse/stock bowler role that could bowl 8 to 10 over spells when needed. I think he got everything out of his ability and was probably never better than when McDermott was bowling coach.
