*Official* Fourth Test at Chester-le-Street

[Howe_zat]

I really don't see what he was thinking might happen.

 

[Swingpanzee]

Wtf don't tell me they reviewed that.

 

[GIMH]

Umpires call on a fourth stump that one.

We need a good YouTube vid of the awful reviews from both sides in this series

 

[Stapel]

Well, another rather stupid appeal by Clarke & co.....

 

[Howe_zat]

impact umpires call? are they kidding themselves!?

It reverts to ump's call if he's down the track (>2.5m). Hence why it's a trashy review even before you consider the line.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

yeah technique-wise he's not a bad keeper. other than the fact he just drops everything. edges, takes, returns from the outfield, the lot. [edit - wade]



nah, it's been exactly the same, he's just held onto some tough chances, which is good, but not related to his footwork.

I'm not saying Haddin is a good keeper. He flat out isn't. He get's lazy, but he has taken a few deliveries particularly down the leg side to Starc early last test. He's gloved some dives, but not all the dives were ones that footwork negates any dive. A dive was always required for the best keepers at times.

 

[Prince EWS]

wade's footwork has always struck me as much the same as haddin's

I agree. I don't know a whole lot about wicket keeping but they always seemed pretty similar technically to me; Haddin is just a naturally better catcher of the ball.

 

[Spark]

hahahah the **** kp?

we needed a gift and we got one

 

[Swingpanzee]

****.

 

[GIMH]

Ah balls.

Could be in a bit of bother here. All on Bell.

 

[Spikey]

impact umpires call? are they kidding themselves!?

more than 3m down the track = hawkeye's reliability can be questionable = ump's call

 

[Pothas]

Well that was not really much of a surprise.

 

[Spark]

like, you think he'd have learned from the previous over...

 

[Swingpanzee]

Gave away all the good work. Played well enough though but given our fragile batting this is a hard blow.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Good bowling, although Pieterson helped the out by his desire to play legside

 

[grecian]

Looked awful since Tea, so no real surprise.

 

[Howe_zat]

That just slayed me. It's a good stand but it's not ****ing enough.

 

[GIMH]

Barstow to get 8

What an 8 it will be though.

I agree!

Though there have also been quite some good reviews that wouldn't bring a change.

surely that's for the predictive element and not the point of impact!?
