oh...the 3rd umpire could only rule on the catch

Neil Pickup · 07-12-2012, 11:50 PM

Admittedly only watching on an iPad because I can't be arsed to get out of bed, but wasn't that glove?

Also, aren't umpires only allowed to go upstairs to check catches? Someone find playing conditions?

Jono · 07-12-2012, 11:50 PM

Weird decision.

Meanwhile, Gambhir has to go. Pathetic performance from him this test.

I'm never going to complain too much at the right decision being reached; Gambhir didn't hit the ball.

Surely a BCCI representative will be running out onto the field any minute to tell Gambhir to walk off though; we can't have video technology adjudicating on edges, surely?!?!

He must've got the Bat Signal from the pavilion.

Thank **** for that, if only to avoid the drama.

Gambhir entering Shane Watson territory in being the master of getting in and giving it away as well as stitching up teammates when you there.

The problem with it was that under the playing conditions of this match, you're out if the ump thinks you're out. Gambhir was effectively the only batsman on either team to have the benefit of the tech overturning a poor decision. Akin to him being the only batsman allowed to use a helmet.

stumpski · 07-12-2012, 11:55 PM

Academic now anyway. Botham chuntering away after that incident, and he had a point of course, but nobody wants to see a batsman giiven out caught off his pad. Even England don't want that despite Cook's remonstrating.

Pothas · 07-12-2012, 11:55 PM

Lol what a 5 minutes for dear old Gautam.
