*Official* Third Test at Old Trafford

[Spark]

I'm still convinced he hit that. I find it odd how you lot consider snicko infallable though whilst the others for some reason are.

It was pretty clearly late on the replays without snicko. I don't know what that noise was but it's unlikely it was an edge

 

[Prince EWS]

It isn't waiting for Snicko; Snicko isn't a part of DRS.

His point was that Snicko only isn't part of DRS because don't want to wait for it.

Ah, fair enough - thought it was referring only to the decision in question.

 

[Ruckus]

Is snicko, for all intents and purposes, actually infallible? I can't say I've ever seen a decision where it's results are incongruous with the other evidence

 

[Swingpanzee]

I don't think it was out but considering the fact that his bat was nowhere near pad, it's odd there was a distinct sound.

Australia are at a very good position here. 180-3 and that a promising no.6 in the form of Warner. England desperately need a wicket.

PS. I've always found the umpire's call bit in a LBW Review to be stupid. If it hits the stumps it should be out I guess?

 

[Maximas]

great session, the Khawaja decision has been evened up IMO, a couple of good umpires calls to us

In a sense that one might be because no one has any idea what that noise was

 

[Swingpanzee]

Tea it is. Australia's session all the way.

Yeah. If whatever noise occurred during that Smith incident actually occurred a fraction of a second earlier - whatever it was - then we'd all think it was out. The chance of a random noise happening at exactly the right moment is so minute that it's almost not worth worrying about, but it is obviously possible.

By a mile. Much more of this and they're in a massively dominating position.

Which was always on the cards after the crap we've been reading over the last week and a bit.

 

[Ruckus]

I've never seen a false negative though, where snicko doesn't show a sound when there is a definitive hotspot

 

[Swingpanzee]

It was actually surprising that the ump didn't give that out. Huge confident appeal, distinct noise, etc.

Oh yeah there was definitely a sound and the timing seems accurate but **** knows what it was

Rogers

Khawaja

 

[ajdude]

guys they're about to show rogers' straight drive to bring up 50 on fox sports get your tissues ready

wait no it was a couple of deliveries after wasn'ti t

wait maybe it happened ****ing ages earlier hey

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah. If whatever noise occurred during that Smith incident actually occurred a fraction of a second earlier - whatever it was - then we'd all think it was out. The chance of a random noise happening at exactly the right moment is so minute that it's almost not worth worrying about, but it is obviously possible.

There was a frame before the ball reached the bat, and a frame after. But because we heard the noise on the frame after rather than before we've decided it was a passing sparrow whose farts sound exactly like ball hitting bat.

**** decision.

 

[Maximas]

Rogers

Khawaja

Pujara?

 

[Ruckus]

be interesting to see which Warner comes out if these guys put us into a commanding position. I'd back him coming out attempting to play a gilchrist like role, but he could also be a bit more hesitant being his first game back and all

 

[Ruckus]

Yeah. If whatever noise occurred during that Smith incident actually occurred a fraction of a second earlier - whatever it was - then we'd all think it was out. The chance of a random noise happening at exactly the right moment is so minute that it's almost not worth worrying about, but it is obviously possible.

I thought the form of the soundwave gives a pretty good indication if the noise is a nick? Was that enough of a 'spike' like it's meant to be? In any case the odds on that happening are probably so small, that I'm sure the majority of people would accept that as a margin of error they can deal with.

Can hear Sky's commentary (presumably highlights of the last session) really loudly in the background of TMS, weird.
