WI tour of Australia, Dec 2 - Jan 7

[Toby F]

100 up for Bravo. Good to see him doing well.

Of course Roach messes up the celebration shortly after. (and Taylor as I type)

[Arthur Crabtree]

Yes, well done junior.

[backfootpunch]

Can't imagine Darren bravo is going to get much of a rest

[backfootpunch]

When you're right you're right

[Toby F]

Pattinson gets one. Can he get his rhythm back in this innings.

Have to feel sorry for Bravo, out to try and do it all again already.

[Arthur Crabtree]

At least he's got his eye in.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good stat on cricinfo about DB averaging over 50 away from home.

[Arthur Crabtree]

A lot of them against BD though, I notice.

A double ton in Dunedin suggests he can withstand extreme cold.

[Toby F]

3 for Pattinson, hope he doesn't fall over and hurt himself. Make that 4.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Ha! Maybe due a bit of luck with the injuries.

From the action I've seen, the Aussie commentators relish criticising Samuels. so they'll feel justified by his runs in the game.

[GarlicJam]

That DRS result points out a flaw in the system, I reckon. More than 3/4 of the ball was hitting the stumps and it went to umpire's call. Less than half the ball, fair enough, but this was (predicted to) smash the stumps.

Strange.

[Toby F]

If you shot Shane Warne the commentary would vastly improve.

Now Marsh gets Ramdin.

Strange.

Oh. I just heard Shane Warne say pretty much the same thing.


I retract my comments.

It is unlikely that the judgement is made from the picture of the ball. That is added later I'm sure. It's all about the maths.

I've never really got the problem with this. The decision is weighted towards the onfield decision because the ball tracking is flawed and they don't want to overturn a correct decision, just a clearly wrong decision. Just because the graphic shows the ball hitting the stumps, it isn't necessarily what would have happened. Anything within a likely margin of error stays on the field.
