Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

These umpires...

The catch was clearly grounded before the player had stability (the marsh catch earlier should not have been paid either).

The batters had crossed.

FFS.

And the crowd. They should all be ejected.

They are tools.

Such a stupid rule though

Cricket is full of them

Poor Jhye has lost 10kph.

 

[RooInNorthLondon]

Reports here in England say the Poms have told Key and McCullum they can keep their jobs if they want them. I almost feel sorry for their fans. Almost.

 

[Samsquanch]

The yokels will year out the stadium seats.

 

[the big lebowski]

Peake is peaking

 

[Samsquanch]

Nice 6 off the last ball.

If we're talking about the Turner catch, my take is a bit different.

The ball was clearly under control before he went anywhere near the ground; DRS has its virtues but its over-reaching in this area

Bethel playing a fantastic test match innings, polar opposite to some of his peers.

the arguement is he wasnt in control... i suspect the interpritation is when the fieldsman becomes stationaly.

Can’t wait till they bring that into the afl when taking a mark

It should be a catch - he catch it and then fell.

Was a ridiculous call.. never seen anything like it. It's been a catch for 150 years.

 

[big_e]

As a Scorchers fan, it pains me to say this. But the laws of cricket say that the act of taking a catch ends when the player is in control of their body. Turner was still failing over when he grounded it, therefore it's not a catch.

correct

 

[Chip Scab1]

correct

Insanity. I was a keeper, any diving catch is basically not out according to the new rules, unless you roll over and hold your hands in the air like you're drowning and desperately looking for a life raft.

Just another reason to play golf, really. (As much as I love cricket).

 

[hellas_johnny]

Need to get these 2 wickets quick here don't want to give them any momentum

 

[hellas_johnny]

There 1 is. Great innings bethel. Star gets his 30th of the series

He is one to track. Can be Root good.

 

[Loose_Cannon]

Potts seems handy enough. If Bethell could have held on through this new ball they might have batted long enough to force a draw.

They might squeak this into the 170-180 range but I can't see Tongue lasting much longer than that. If Bethell had held on, maybe that's into the 220+ range.

It should be a catch - he catch it and then fell.

Then he fell, grounding the ball twice before being in control of his motion, much like Starc in England who was still in motion when his hands and the ball touched the ground.

I did not see a replay, but I thought the Marsh catch earlier on may have been reviewed as I seem to recall that he was still moving when his hand (and possibly the ball) scraped on the ground.

Insane by starc this series holding up an attack without hazelwood cummins and lyon.
