^^ Isn't the 'soft' dismissal akin to the rugby ref asking the tmo if there is any reason why I can not award a try ?
Or in this case "Is there, in your judgement, any reason why the batsman can not be given out" The problem is that there is never a satisfactory camera angle and they often go 50/50. Maxwell got a break but England really do need to look in the mirror since this gung-ho attitude could cost then dearly when it really matters. |

Just to show its a lottery
The 50/50 Steve Smith dismissal Only difference , one Umpire said not out the other out I'd start using the time wasting technology as nothing more than an umpires helper No referrals for teams Its useful in other sports like tennis because the area is small Cricket ovals by comparison are huge with obstructed/inconclusive views always a possibility https://www.cricket.com.au/news/stev...hts/2018-01-21 Last edited by buttsie; February 8th, 2018 at 09:23 PM..

We have all seen such umpire's decisions overturned. So I agree with the limited referrals. A bit different with catches. Depending on the length of grass in the outfield, a "catch" can often touch a few blades of grass. I would say leave such decisions to the on-field umpires. |

Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon his head.
I seem to remember when the picture quiz was introduced someone did a video of showing a catch in the grass and although it looked like a catch it had been set up so the ball was downed, but in slow mo it looked like the fielder had got his hands under the ball. If your unsure stay with the decision on the field. Food for thought. |

Nice to see the tri series going really well. Another inept performance as we are well and truly humbled by the baggy greens, who qualify for the final.

except when its the WC or Champions Trophy and it means more than earning money to pay those ignored by the IPL. One wonders will the Australian selectors ever be brave enough to simply rest Warner & Smith Both are cooked Warner induced to play with the T20 captaincy Maxwell makes more runs in 1 one T20 innings than Steve Smith does in 5 ODIs I was just reminded how good Ben Stokes was via some obscure radio comment 4 6s in the last over of a T20 final - lucky hes not in this tri series It could have been interesting followed by ugly http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2...r-24-to-see-w/ |

Good to see England showing some consistency
Not to worry. The beak has granted 'Rocky' unconditional bail and will land in Kiwi country any day soon. |
