What do you think, is this a catch or not out ?

Controversy! Matt Critchley's tight catch given 'not out'

There was controversy in the Vitality Blast T20 Final between Somerset and Essex as Matt Critchleys catch was given not out after a review.

the soft signal was Out

apparently that’s still allowed in domestic cricket but no longer in international cricket

Was that clear enough to over turn a soft signal Out?

It’s a tough one

 

[ataraxia]

That's out

Fingers under the ball, out IMO. Definitely one of the closer ones I've seen though.

Can you rock and roll it a little more for me?

He's pushing the ball along the ground before he's in control of his movements..not out just like Starcs Ashes non-catch

These sort of catches create an illusion , what you have to look for is fingers underneath the ball I think its out

 

[Coronis]

Out I’d say. But its a tough one.

It was given Not Out by the third umpire despite the soft signal on the field being out

Despite umpire giving it, soft signals don't exist anymore. How could he see anyway, like first replay can only see back of bowlers head rather than the catch

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Great effort nonetheless.

Not out for me. I think the ball has just touched the ground.

They do in Domestic cricket as it was stated by the comms when it happened

soft signal is now outlawed in international level cricket

I would say out. It looks as if Critchley has his fingers beneath and therefore, as the ball slides forward it is likely not touching the ground, especially as we know that the foreshortening effect of the 2d image makes the ball look close to the ground than it is. In the Starc case his fingers were less obviously under the ball as he pushed it forward along the ground.

There were a couple of fingers under the ball but the ball also simultaneously touched the ground in the act of catching, how can that be out? Not out was the right decision...

i dont think theres any doubt the ball touched the turf in Starc's case lol

 

[TheJediBrah]

Clearly out

People who think these are not out just don't get Origin and/or are weak-gutted dog people
