Australia v India

KiwiMurph

That's 100% the wrong call.

India absolutely fucked over.

NTA

Based on the technology available that was the only call.

Surely we can have HDR cameras for this?

KiwiMurph

@NTA only call?

I disagree.

@KiwiMurph can't see the back of the bat from that shot. Benefit of the doubt.

If you've got one shot that puts the batsman in and another that shows them maybe out, what do you go with?

HDR cameras. The answer is "you go with HDR cameras"

Terrible review. He's tall but not THAT tall

KiwiMurph

@NTA look how far the bail is off - it doesn't take a genius to figure out that the bail came off before the bat crossed the line.

This temporary increase to three reviews has shown that 2 is definitely the right amount. That was definitely a tactical based on match situation, similar to the one against labuschagne earlier this week.

KiwiMurph

@Cyclops at least unlike rugby TMO it doesn't take much time.

Ok but he's safe in the other shot, so you don't have conclusive proof that is the case.

KiwiMurph

@NTA it's actually not clear he is safe on that angle either - its the shadow of the bat causing an illusion.

@KiwiMurph blades of grass.

That's why we need HDR. Surely even smaller nations can afford 2-4 of those per game to remove the doubt

KiwiMurph

Starc goes all Southee and throws away his wicket.

@KiwiMurph wants a bowl

KiwiMurph

Not sure you could get a more impressive debut with the bat than what Gill just produced. Class.

NTA

Only saw the first two deliveries as we were in transit. Some very good bowling seen off by the sounds

Or as my mate said via text: "Should've/could've been 3 or 4for but the tinny pricks survived"

NTA

Fuck skipper U gotta catch those. Straight in, straight out

Dropped twice so far. Nice form when he hits it by the look of the boundaries.

NTA

Tinny as shit

NTA

Ponting is right: all the luck went our way in Adelaide, and now it is evening out
