*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[morgieb]

Every failure Hughes's makes annoys me tbh. Biggest whipping boy to play test cricket ever?

Sounds can be creaking bat handles or dragged feet. It's happened before especially that snicko result was tiny

feet weren't moving and the noise was sharp and timed perfectly, he edged it mate.

Yeah but that would only be relevant if it had been given not out by the on-field umpire.

The "my bat handle creaked" excuse is such an ass-pull. I love it.

I thought the point of hotspot was to confirm sounds were edges? if it doesn't is that not enough evidence?

It's been long established that if there's a mark on HotSpot then that a confirms an edge but not all edges actually do appear on HotSpot, so if there's other evidence supporting a fine edge but it doesn't show up on HotSpot, it's still likely the batsman hit the ball.

This is why HotSpot is a little bit ****, though. It's a good tool if you know what it actually presents but a lot of people aren't actually aware of the above and carry on like tarts when this happens.

Old Trafford 2005?

what would we do without you Spark? correct again

 

[Top_Cat]

Everyone is aware by now that Hotspot isn't the best at picking up thin edges. No chance of seeing a tiny dot when the batspeed is that high too

Some seriously good bull**** artistry from the makers of HotSpot spruiking the capabilities of uncooled IR cams too.

 

[dermo]

**** everyone this is Watsons fault

I get that but it just annoys me that other umpires will say they can't prove it 100% so give it not out needs more consistency

 

[Spikey]

you ****ing idiot

 

[Maximas]

Khawaja is a disaster against Swann

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Classic commentary from Warne. Attack the spinner, hahahahaha

 

[Daemon]

usman ;-;

 

[Spark]

sigh. such bad cricket

 

[Pothas]

My word that is terrible.

 

[91Jmay]

That was coming. He looked lost frankly against Swann and barely better against the seamers. To reliant on Anderson? Not against these batters.

 

[Tangles]

****

[Uppercut]

Jesus Australia just can. not. bat.

 

[Cricket Brain]

oh boy this is going from bad to worse. Not a great shot there from a man trying to cement a spot at no.3

 

[Expressway76]

Never looked comfortable against Swanneh.
