Time for DRS to be canned if 3rd ump can over rule the technology.... becoming a regular occurrence

[dedja]

C’mon, how boring would it be if everyone agreed with each other

[daysofourlives]

Lucky we batted on last night.

Why didn't we declare last night??
Woke Solar Panel Pat has no idea, our team is too old and we didn't have enough time to bowl them out.

That about sums it up, Trav couldve been 8 beers deep by now

The third umpire was the only one with half a clue today…

It’s ok to admit when you’re wrong Daisy, it’s good for the soul.

We might shit-can him a bit nowadays but how good seeing Gaz take the last wicket, coupled with his knock last night he lives and breathes it.

He bowled well, the haters can gefugged.

Yes, this. I see ' he has to go' as soon as he doesn't take a wicket in any given innings, even when he has only bowled a few overs.

Keeping India in the field for 5 sessions at the start of the Test paid off as they were absolutely stuffed by the 3rd session at the back end of the Test.

Gavaskar squealing like a stuck pig again regarding the 2 DRS decisions that went against the Indians, both of which were clearly out.

So he was unhappy that Jaiswal was given out when the ball deviated 5 degrees after hitting his bat but seemingly OK with the non LBW call that had (according to DRS) 49% of the ball hitting the stumps.

At least Sharma quite rightly was questioning the failure of snicko on Jaiswal’s dismissal whilst conceding that it looked like he hit it.

Whilst on snicko …

Warren Brennan, whose company BBG Sports operates Snicko, explained why there was no spike as the ball appeared to move past Yashasvi Jaiswal’s glove.

“That was one of the glance shots where there isn’t any noise so Snicko shows nothing only ambient noise,” Brennan told this masthead.

“I checked with the audio director and he said there was no noise either. Probably only Hot Spot could have resolved that one.”

Blame Fox for being cheaparses and not paying for hotspot would have been a non issue if it was in use.

Pretty sure if one were an Indian fan taling about confirmation bias on that Jaiswal decision only confirms they are confirmation biasing themselves

I thought both CA and BCCI agreed not to use it, one for cost (they pay Fox or whoever) and two because apparently it's not reliable

Why don't they use hot spot anymore

The BCCI vice-president doesn’t know how to spell his player’s names …

“Clearly not out”

BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla took to X to claim Jaiswal was clearly not out. “Yashaswi jayaswal (sic) was clearly not out. Third umpire should have taken note of what technology was suggesting. While over ruling field umpire third umpire should have solid reasons,” Shukla wrote.

The solid reason is that the ball deviated when it his bat … cue Spelly’s graphic

Cry me a river.

As I said only a f******d would think that is not out.

If this test match proved anything is the old truism that catches win matches.

India dropped several on day four we basically held everything yesterday.
