*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[Furball]

I don't think you can use a piece of technology when it is only definitive in one direction. If the on field decision is out it is basically impossible to successfully review if no hotspot mark is not evidence of no edge and its the primary piece of tech to find an edge.

At least bring snicko into it.

Nah this is stupid. Hotspot is definitely useful and definitely worth having as long as you remember its limitations.

No it's not, there just needs to be some other evidence that the batsman didn't hit it (e.g. Bat hitting ground, camera showing gap between bat and ball etc).

So what, since there was nothing on the hot-spot that decision should have been overturned, that's how the system should work, going into this whole snicko, sound or deflection business opens up a grey area which nobody wants.

You clearly lack a basic understanding of conclusive proof. If the decision is out all the 3rd ump needs is any evidence to back it up for it to stand. Hill heard a clear edge so he UPHELD the original decision. Simple.

 

[Furball]

If Khawaja had been given out to the one England reviewed just before his dismissal then I reckon that would have been overturned.

 

[GIMH]

Lovely bowling.

 

[Spikey]

missing imo

Are you talking about the agar dismissal? He was given not out on the field.

 

[Pothas]

lol what is that?

 

[Spikey]

missing imo

(cause rad haddin said so)

 

[91Jmay]

Clipping leg I recon. Umpires call job.

 

[Spikey]

ahahahahaahahhaha

 

[Jarquis]

Super super Swann. Super super Swann.

 

[greg]

OK two wrong decisions

 

[91Jmay]

Oh didn't realise he is so far outside leg. Badun.

 

[Cabinet96]

Drop Root.

 

[Garson007]

Nah, Root good job. Let him wait another match for the 200th wicket.

 

[grecian]

He's been pretty unlucky this series Broad, reckon he'll get a bagful at OT.

 

[luckyeddie]

Not a terrible call by the umpire at all - no sympathy for any idiot who pads up to a ball pitching middle and leg. It might have missed leg by the thickness of a rizla, but Haddin made a huge error of judgement.

 

[luckyeddie]

Drop Root.

Is that a summary of what happened or a summary of what ought to happen?

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Yeah I think out was the right call there. Glad there wasn't a review.
