Australia v England, 3rd Test, 16th December , 23.30


It was absolutely obvious he’d hit it. It’s all well and good the snicko company apologising and taking responsibility for the failure in tech but the third umpire was hasty and just horrendously wrong as well. When he said ‘clear gap between bat and ball’ there very obviously wasn’t. It was clear that there was no evident gap between bat and ball.

This was the third decision with varying outcomes for very similar incidents. That isn’t good enough.

Aye I was raging at that decision.

You could see it was close to the bat and we've seen the aussie pictures are a complete load of crap

f***ing hell admitting they are cheating bastards then

Very poor from the third umpire as well IMO to not question that the ball is near the bat and what f***ing else could have made such a sharp spike

Half arsed umpiring relying on a system that has proved untrustworthy throughout the series. Shambles

I’m not criticising Carey, as it was a pretty feint edge. But whoever was running Snicko, along with the 3rd umpire who couldn’t wait to say not out, should be replaced before day 2.

Contrast it with the Smith one when they took about 4 minutes to make sure they could give out.

I used to refrain from criticising none walkers because they'd get plenty of wrong calls against them and have to go.

Then we got technology, hawkeye, snicko etc that made me change my mind as that should remove the bad decisions, and therefore those that know they are out should walk.

However, this calamity casts doubt on the technology (or its use of) so I'm reluctantly moving back towards not criticising those that don't walk.

The bloke walked down to Cummins and admitted he’d f***ing nicked it. It’s a f***ing piss take.

I just don't see it in him, I don't recall any particular meaningful contributions from him. He doesn't bowl long spells, and he often flatters to deceive with the bat. They would be better off playing Webster and pushing Inglis up to 5 and Carey to 6.

Tbf to him he’s just become the most expensive player in ipl history for an overseas player 😂

You don't think Stuart Broad knew that he'd 'nicked' the ball when he refused to walk, then..... or is it only cheating when the opposition do it?

Both players knew they were out, but weren't honest enough to walk.
