England Vs Australia Third Test

[Failed Creation]

****!

[DOC]

Tony Hill gives Clarke runs when clearly off the thigh pad, which the fielder dropped thus saving another howler.

[Q.]

[Tassie Blues]

Does the third ump at any stage give a reason and explain why he gave it out?
Or he just goes back to his hotel room and sleeps on his bags of money.

Because the umpires original decision was out, the third umpire needs to see evidence that it was 100% not out. Apparently the 3rd umpire couldn't find enough evidence that it wasn't out.

If the umpire in the middle had given it not out and England called for a review, the 3rd umpire wouldn't have had enough evidence to give it out.
Work that out.

Im pretty sure there was one earlier in the series where it was overturned on basically no evidence but a noise. Dont remember which one there has been so **** many of them

I was thinking the same thing. But they were saying tonight the 3rd ump cant use snicko? clearly i know as much about DRS as the 3rd ump

They can use audio, just don't see the sound bar like we do.

Smith looking pretty shaky

[Phantom Gossiper]

Finally! Something goes our way lol

[The Sleeping Giant]

How close was that.

[Jase]

Very

[dedja]

There's no faarking way that hawk eye is that accurate ...

[EldersUniSA]

Ok, now convinced DRS is the village shithouse. That was plum.

[DOC]

Was that Tony again ?

[Phantom Gossiper]

Hawk eye is rubbish! the whole technology thing is a joke

[wycbloods]

There's no faarking way that hawk eye is that accurate ...

It should be used for what it is 100% accurate for. where it pitches and where it hits the batsmen. The rest is guess work(somewhat educated). The umpires can guess accurately enough where the ball is going to go.

That is why it has a half ball width margin of error.

Some reactions:

"I've just sat down to watch the test. That was one of the worst cricket umpiring decisions I have ever seen. KRudd"
Kevin Rudd, Australian prime minister

"Usman Khawaja has every right to knock on the umpires door over lunch & just ask HOW?"
Tom Moody, former Australia batsman

"That is a ridiculous decision by both the on & off field umpires. DRS creating yet more controversy. Any wonder players don't walk!"
Alec Stewart, former England captain

"And people say you should Walk .... No chance when you get decisions like that...."
Michael Vaughan, former England captain

"DRS was introduced to eradicate the human howlers...humans are out to prove that no technology can eliminate human errors."
Aakash Chopra, former India batsman

"Umpires protecting each other is the main reason DRS is causing controversy!"
Scott Styris, former New Zealand allrounder

"Shocking decision to give #usmanKhwaja out. What is the technology there for? Umpires may need a trip to specsavers n get a hearing aid."
Azhar Mahmood, former Pakistan allrounder

"Thing to remember is that without DRS we would still be saying that was a shocking decision. Not the system's fault but those operating it."
Steve James, former England batsman

"Don't blame the DRS for that. Blame the numpty 3rd umpire. Poor!"
Iain O'Brien, former New Zealand bowler.

"Now that's bullshit !!! Sorry ... Now you all know why I hate DRS! Bullshit."
Dean Jones, former Australia batsman.


I particularly like the comment from Styris. I'd say there's plenty of truth in that.

[JK]

I like Alec Stewart's for putting it back onto the onfield ump aswell

That was plum?
Ball spinning and bouncing. No way it was plum
