*Official* Fifth Test (The Oval, London) 27-31 July

tbf to 3rd ump, there was oddly no line on sniko other than when it was clearly a gap. Face of the bat not caused a spike?

Yeah more a murmur. To be fair it's not a traditional snick.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah you missed something, it was Dharmasena

Ah it was Menon my bad.

Legendary pair Dharmasena and Joel Wilson on the field.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

could've sworn it went off the face of the bat looking at the front on view

Yes he hit it, that's why Hawkeye stopped tracking 3 meters out coz it picked it up

That's not how it works

Dharmasena just got to see it live hasn't he really, hardly disguised

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

That's not how it works

Apparently it did this time

This really isn’t a bowling paradise like Australia are making it seem

I certainly don't think this is an easy pitch to bat on, though. England collapsed pretty hard too, they just scored quicker and got lucky with a lot of drops.

 

[loterry1994]

Carey’s got one with his name on it soon might as well go t20 mode

I don't blame the onfield ump for missing it but Menon missing it on the replay is up there with one of the more bizarre pieces of TV umpiring. Would have been up there with that infamous Khawaja dismissal where he missed it by about six inches had it been straighter.

 

[Spark]

Apparently it did this time

No I mean the 3m doesn't refer to the ball stopping tracking or anything, it's just a umpire's call style warning if the batsman is a long way down the pitch

 

[TheJediBrah]

This is where the slow scoring of Marnus and Khawaja has come back to bite them. Another 60 runs and they would be alot more in the game. If the pitch has a bullet with your name on perhaps it is better to have 60 off 80 rather than 9 .

Not at all. They could have been all out for 150 half an hour ago if they played more aggressively, who knows

Yeah you missed something, it was Dharmasena

Nah he got it right it as the 3rd ump whoever that is

edit: the decision that is, he didn't see the edge I guess

 

[91Jmay]

Catching has been the big difference for sure.

Yeah but surely it detects the first point of impact. Hawkeye doesn't know if it's pad or bat or whatever.

 

[Darwin Award]

Looked pretty bad at the time tbf.

There haven't been all that many good scores of 9 really.

Rob Quiney objects...

Yeah, is he allowed to just look at the replay though and go I can see he has hit it if sniko isn't conclusive? Dunno if he is like bound by procedure or something. But yeah was just a stinky review for absolutely every single reason

Slow scoring is alright but not scoring I don’t know what the plan is there the commentators said if a few wickets fall then Aus are in trouble and that’s exactly what’s happened

 

[Spark]

Yeah but surely it detects the first point of impact. Hawkeye doesn't know if it's pad or bat or whatever.

No the point of impact is manually chosen by an operator who would presumably know to pick it as hitting the pad.

 

[IcarianStyles]

Cummins should've made Australia bat first smh. This is Oval 2019 repeat again. Potentially even worse than that..

 

[Shri]

snicko data from another ball maybe. recently missed a nick in the ind-wi test series. might be similar to that here

Had Australia caught properly it wouldn't have been an issue...
