Australian International Summer

[Dutchy]

Nevill was stiff with his dismissal. Even though he is struggling a little with the bat ATM he atleast has some ticker unlike several others

Would have been close to be LBW if he didn't hit it, if Shaun Marsh didn't burn a review he would have had a chance to stay out there.

[Dutchy]

Smith LBW was a bad decision. No way can anyone who knows anything say it was a "great" decision when it would have been not out had it been given not out and reviewed. However, I'm glad they stuck with it because it wasn't clearly not out.

Clearly not out?, all evidence showed it would have hit the stumps, exactly that LBW is!!!!

[locky801]

Smart batting here by the SAFRICANS, nothing silly working the ball around, clearly they want to bat for a couple of days and wear Starc and co out, any lead over 300 will be enough IMO. with or without Steyn

[Dutchy]

37 in Perth tomorrow, if Amla is still there is could be a long day

yep agree

[The Jack]

Doesn't matter where he is on the pitch if its going to hit the stumps its out, evidence confirms it was a great decision.

Thats not true, another 3 inches down the pitch and its not out because he is to far down, its a rule i believe. There is a certain distance from the stumps where it cant be given

You are kidding right?

Nope, ill try and find it

Any word on that Days? It's not a thing. Dutchy is correct, but it would've been better given not out in the first instance IMHO. Had to be some doubt there. Particularly at the WACA. Got lucky with the review.

Good thing he is back in the shed then

[GWW]

Would love to know how many times in the past 10 to 15 years, that we've gone from 0-100 (or similar), only to lose 3 or 4 wickets for 15, as the top/middle order collapses.

Our problem 20-25 years ago was chasing small totals for victory in our 2nd innings; these days its collapsing after a great start.

[Rik E Boy]

******* shithouse.

[Grenville]

******* shithouse.

Correct weight.

[Grenville]

Mitchell Marsh, the shit Tony Dodemaide.

[Brodlach]

I really hate to agree with Daisy but I reckon he is correct re the rule about being too far down the pitch. I remember it coming up in the mid 2000's

I have seen it on a DRS review, they didnt go through the rest of the review, it stopped when it was considered the batsman was too far down.
I have looked in the MCC laws of cricket, that gives nothing and I cant find anything under the ICC playing conditions for the DRS but mind you I cant find anything on how DRS is meant to work either for the LBW's.

[Keefy]

Steyn out for the rest of the series with a fractured shoulder bone

[The Dark Knight]

Steyn ruled out for the rest of the series with a fractured bone in his shoulder. That's really disappointed as seeing him bowl live was the number one reason why I wanted to go to the Adelaide test match.

Knew he was in trouble when I found out after day 1 of the SACA tour match that he wasn't going to bowl on Day 2.

I once heard the commentators talk about that once the impact of the ball is a certain distance from the stumps, it cant be given out with DRS. Cant remember what that distance was? 3 metres?

[RustyCage]

Daisy is right, it's not the actual LBW law as such, it's just a distance where the DRS becomes too unreliable

Its out there somewhere near the danger zone indicators for the umpire which are 5ft from the crease then its a metre to the stumps so its getting close to 3m. Smith was very close to the danger zone indicators, 2-3 inches shy

That's a real Shame for SA and the rest of the series to be honest. I too was hoping to see him at the Adel test I was actually going to even watch a few overs this year! Lol
