StreetCowboy Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 What the hell??? He calls for the review and it doesn't show hotspot on the bat ... but he is still given out? Can someone explain that to me According to the commentators, the hotspot isn't very reliable for a ball sliding across the face of the bat. They reckon the microphones picked up a sound, though, and that there was some indication on hotspot, albeit not enough to leave a spot on the bat... I'm relying on the BBC wireless commentators., though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerfish Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) have a feeling Clarke is going to be there all afternoon and notch up a very big score. the guys class with a bat in his hand, i just hope i'm wrong !

naboo Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 What the hell??? He calls for the review and it doesn't show hotspot on the bat ... but he is still given out? Can someone explain that to me The umpire on field gave him out. For that decision to be overturned, there needs to be clear evidence that the decision was wrong. There was a noise as the ball passed the bat and a small hotspot on the ball, though nothing on the bat. With the evidence, it was not clear if he was out or not, so it went with the on field umpire's decision. If the on field umpire had given him not out and England had reviewed, I doubt that decision would have been given out either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7by7 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Glen McGrath on TMS very scathing on Australia's use of the DRS; saying they reviewed two they shouldn't have and didn't review the one they should have. Replays showing the ball that dismissed Rogers was definitely missing leg stump. Will Cooke enforce the follow on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Will Cooke enforce the follow on? I'm not convinced he'll have the choice. The Ozzie tail wags more viciously than the mouth bites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7by7 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) Blowers and Tuffers reckon England wont enforce the follow on as they don't want to risk a couple of long days in the field on top of today in this heat and then batting last. 108 for 9.

mad mary Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 ^48 run last wicket partnership. I fancy Bresnan & Swann to do the business with the ball on this pitch. Aussies allout for <250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRed Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I think we are in for the same as the first test and a similar outcome.England have done well to pull it back together again.Pressure in Bell to stick around for a century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Skittled out for 128. Put em back and we'll have this test match by stumps. Another 5-fer for Swann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naboo Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Meh. England to bat again. I wonder what they'll declare on? If they can bat through until the end of tomorrow, they'll be happy. A lead then of at least 450, with two days to play should mean a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Meh. England to bat again. I wonder what they'll declare on?Surely they'll follow on? Why wouldn't they? If the top three Australian batsmen were to get in, England could possibly be looking at a 5th day bat on a pitch with no rain for over 2 weeks. Not enjoyable batting conditions.

Because England in reality wouldn't want to be batting last on a wearing pitch ...If England can bat the dopes aussies out of site now, then come late saturday evening they declare 500+ ahead ...well,that should be that!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
