The other snag with late innings DRS reviews involving Australia is in assuming they would have any reviews left.
Except Sydeny '08 #never4get #cheatingaussiesdefinitely not handled the ball
At the risk of stating the obvious, every example in this thread is probably preceded (and followed) by multiple incorrect decisions going either way in the very same match which also would have been changed with DRS, rendering the contention that DRS changes these matches exactly as we are claiming pretty weak.
obviously it's just a fun exercise but just felt like saying that
They were IIRC.Were the Zimbos robbed against SL in 2017 or did I dream that up?
I dunno, I'm pretty sure the second tied test wouldn't have been tied with DRS. Probably the first one wouldn't have been either. Butterfly effect and all that.definitely not handled the ball

Early DRS had a lot of teething problems when they had hot spot but no snicko as well. A lot of umpires and fans didn't really get itThe other snag with late innings DRS reviews involving Australia is in assuming they would have any reviews left.
Handled ball has to be deliberate, does it not?If DRS was in place at Edgbaston, we'd have had the game wrapped up long before that came to pass, they got away with a plumb lbw. Wouldn't Kaspa still be out anyway though, handled the ball? Seems to go both ways on here whenever that comes up
Ashes 05 would definitely look very different with DRS though
Yep.Handled ball has to be deliberate, does it not?
The whole point here is that the hand has to be gripping the bat for a catch off the glove to count.But you could hypothetically be caught from that so that's a contradiction of sorts. Gloves count as part of the bat when it comes to catches.
no it's either one or the other. If the glove is on the bat you can be caught but not lbw, if the glove is off the bat you can't be caught but (hypothetically) could be lbwBut you could hypothetically be caught from that so that's a contradiction of sorts.

You need your eyes checked.lol @ stephen thinking DRS will overturn a ball hitting the batsman outside off and carrying on, over a LBW appeal.
