There's Australias revenge for the Marsh fiasco. Absolute BULLSHIT and so hard on a bloke who deserves success.

No Quarter

It's so much worse then the Marsh fiasco because in this instance the correct decision has not been made, and in a tight test where runs are at a premium it has cost us dearly.

taniwharugby

cant you review that?
 
Surely it would only be revenge if Marsh was clearly not out, but given out...?

Donsteppa

Should've gone to Spec Savers.

Siam

Pretty much a load of arse from start to finish from where I'm sitting following on cricinfo
 
Hope springs eternal that the lead Aus get isn't fatal
 
Well bowled ockers, must have put the ball in the right places
 
What the fuck is an umpire, in this day and age of checking all wickets, calling marginal no balls for? I haven't seen it but unless a bowler massively oversteps then shut your fucken gob and let the 3rd figure it out should a wicket fall - it's the way shit's done these days

We can't review a no ball call. 
Umpires everywhere around the world go upstairs when a wicket is taken and it is a close call on the no ball. But for some reason today Illingworth inexplicably decided fuck the technology I'm gonna make this call on my own. 
Incomptent.

taniwharugby

Yeah thats what I was asking if you can review it, but I guess who would call it form the BC;s, the bowler knows they are right on it and only needs to be MM in it

Siam

Batsman could argue he heard the call so a legitimate review would be difficult to mandate
 
Fucken Llong, now Illingworth. Muppets!!

Nah. Karma for the Rugby 8s

Don't blame the ump - blame the bloody OB director for not getting the replay up quick enough :fishing:

Smith would have lost his shit if we had a repeat of footgate.

repeat? This was a foot issue too! :)

clinging.....
 
For the third straight Basin Reserve Test, Brendon McCullum lost the toss. For the third straight time New Zealand were sent in on a pitch that was expected to offer the fast men some assistance. For the third straight time, they were knocked over inside 60 overs. If that scenario seems like it should favour Australia, it is worth noting that in neither of the previous two instances did New Zealand go on to lose the Test; they <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/749779.html'>won one</a> and <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/667653.html'>drew the other</a>.

Not the right kind of straws, but you get the idea ;)
 
 
Tomorrow morning is pivotal. Could rattle through a soft Aussie middle order with friendly conditions and be back in with a small deficit, or even a lead. Take a leaf from Hazlewood and Siddle - top of off, top of off, top of off, top of off, top of off, top of off, top of off, top of off, top of off

Just remove the no ball call from the ump. They can't actually watch a no ball line and adjudicate on events at the other end all that easily, and you end up with a disgraceful call that could change a test match. Let the on field ump make a ruling (but not make no ball judgements) and then check all decisions for no ball afterwards, it only you takes a few seconds and get it f'ing right! The match should last 5 days, the fans will wait! 
It was a dickhead call and the days of a batsman having a chance at a free swing when it was called no ball are long gone. That was clean bowled. The ball from a quick is pretty much there before a batsman hears the no ball call. Ridiculous. 
Hope it fires the BC up, because that was shit umpiring.

I played a game once in the sub continent, morning start. Opening bowler, never bowls no balls, first ball of the game gets called for a noey
 
I was captain so walked over to the ump to try to apply a bit of pressure and ask where he overstepped.
 
There was a perfect spiked imprint of his whole foot inches behind the line. Ump duly goes through the charade of showing where he "overstepped"
 
total lie
 
Conclusion: No one knows what goes through the minds of these fluffybunnys
 
 
Had to laugh at the wags caught on the microphones when Latham was being referred and snicko was showing - "that could have come from anywhere" :)

Siam

By the way, at the top levels, the notion (as Snowy said) of the batsman hearing the no ball call and being able to react and change his shot is a myth
 
Hard enough to do with spinners, such is the expectation and concentration required to bat
 
liked the way Craig brushed it off in the presser after:
 
"We didn't see it till we came off," offspinner Mark Craig said.
"There was obviously going to be a little bit of a disappointment [about that] but again, like I said just before, you can't do much about it now so we'll just look forward to tomorrow."
Craig's line was that "once his arm goes out there's not much you can do about it" and he stuck to it doggedly, during his press conference at the close of play.
 
With successful and dominating teams like Man U, ABs, Auckland rugby back in the day, Aus cricket, the perception that they get the rub of the green a lot is hard to refute, true or not
