Australia 🇦🇺 v India 🇮🇳 ICC World Test Championship Final The Oval



Whatever happened to the idea you had to be sure? There’s no way at the resolution limits of the technology we have that anyone can say with certainty that the ball never touched the grass during that action. And that’s all it takes. It’s not rugby. You don’t need downward pressure onto the ground. It just has to touch the grass. Even with a finger apparently underneath it’s hard to be certain that didn’t happen. With a whole palm underneath maybe.
 
There has been a tendency to say about VAR “why can’t we implement it uncontroversially like cricket and rugby do”. At least as far as cricket goes that myth is getting exploded a bit today. There’ll be Indian cricket message groups talking about DRS making this one’s views on VAR look positively balanced I reckon.
