    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2017/18

    I'd love to see a breakdown of home/away... curious if standing closer to the stumps due to the low bounce in India has any effect on the catching (clutching at straws here :))

    The issue with No Balls and Dismissals these days

    Bit difficult I'd say. Whatever is on the shoe would have to be a passive device, something like an IR-reflective tape. And then you would need an IR source and sensor on the popping crease -- that's already a bit unwieldy (could have it in line with the stumps, perhaps). Around/over the wicket...

    meh, ignore all the bile spilling. write this one off a la perth'10. totally expect a fightback from england in test 2 -- they actually bowled very well. just really **** batting, which is a mental thing that can be fixed quickly.

    clearly Steve-o anticipated the old 'vaseline on bat' trick, ignored hotspot and gave it out anyway. Good on him.

    I have to say, I really like this sort of batting display. Good old < 3.0 rpo grinding is refreshing.

    Nah, I don't think the rules are to blame. The more 'human judgement' you bring into it, the more inconsistent the decisions will get. I will let you come up with your own scenarios. (in this case, 'human judgement' would have worked -- but in other cases, who knows? And that's why the rules...

    It was (and would have been) given out without DRS, so the naysayers can stuff it. The added injustice from DRS changes nothing.
