BookMan Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Starc has had his overs...Not accurate enough...need to make them play a shot.. Get Siddle on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookMan Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Why did Cooke review? Obviously out, unless he thought he may have hit it. He will mightily regret that review if the 10th wicket falls to a shocking decision and England have no reviews left. Pressure does funny things for judgement. Maybe he felt they might lose if he got out so soon. btw. Cook has dropped his 'e' these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7by7 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Not sure I see the point in the batsman appealing from caught unless the fielder drops it. If no hotspot isn't enough, there's no need to bother with it. An appeal and a review are not the same thing. An appeal is to the onfield umpire; a review is to the third umpire because (in theory!) the batsman or fielding captain thinks the onfield umpire made the wrong decision. Caught behind is different to being caught in the field. Like lbw, the fielding side have to appeal for a caught behind. If they don't, the umpire will not give the batsman out even if he thinks the batsman has hit it. This is because catches by the wicket keeper are often from the faintest of nicks, with little or no deviation. In KP's case, and many others, there was no hotspot; but because hotspot is not perfect the third umpire went with the onfield umpire because there was a definite noise and his bat was well away from his body and could not have hit anything else. Whether KP reviewed the decision because he thought he hadn't nicked it or because he hoped to 'get away' with it, only he knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, ok, not sure I see the point in the batsman reviewing from caught unless he thinks the fielder drops it. Sorry, but I don't see what your point is. Are you talking about caught behind and in the slips or caught elsewhere? I don't recall any batsman, in this series or any other, reviewing a caught decision unless they were caught behind or in the slips and thought that they had not hit it. If the fielder drops it, then it's obvious and that's the end of the matter. If the onfield umpires think he caught it on the bounce then they will ask for a decision from the third umpire.

Aussies would be going for the win not mucking about with negative time wasting tactics So, the last day of a test, the prospect of getting a full days play very remote and 332 needed to win. You reckon the Aussies would try for victory in the limited time available when all they need is a draw to clinch the series? Of course they would. Now, excuse me, please: I have to go and chase those pigs who are perching in the trees. They went for quick scoring yesterday (which in the circumstances was the right thing to do). Result? 172 for 7! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
