camera cricket
Submitted by petermac on Sat, 2013-07-20 22:16
what a joke test cricket is now I made a couple of hundreds in mums back yard against my sisters vicious in swingers I am only 53 I must be due for a call up soon for australia or maybe they need to call up my sister for her bowling she would do a better job than the blokes we have now, Bloody hell give the game back to the umpires if they make a howler of a mistake so be it they will be dropped for a few tests the game is called cricket not camera cricket

Umpires
The umpires are worse than woeful but the use of cameras to solve anything other than LBW should be outlawed.

We need to move with the times.
Probably use it better and get it out of the players control and put it solely in both the umpires hands.
If you use the technology use it for all, not some.

What's the point of that when
What's the point of that when the umpires still can't make the right call after viewing the replays? Move with the times my ass, the game has been around & sucessfull for a very long time without much in the way of technology intervening. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Get rid of the bloody review system altogether, nobody was complaining about it when it didn't exist. As far as the players were concerned some decisions went your way, others didn't, what goes around comes around.

Your missing my point I
Your missing my point I think. Steve Smith caught Ian Bell so clearly on the replay that even the pommy commentator said there was no doubt he was out. The video umpire said it wasn't a catch, even though it was obvious Smith had his fingers jammed under the ball & it hadn't touched the ground. All the technology in the world isn't going to help if the person interpreting it is a complete muppet.

If ian bell did that to smith, I bet you would not be jumping up and down. The technology needs to improve. Better video recording is a start. Very high resolution recording to increase the frame rate bith come to mind.

Your not getting it Yoni. My
Your not getting it Yoni. My point has nothing what-so-ever with who was batting & who was feilding, that makes no difference. This is a decision that was refered by the onfield umpire to the third umpire for the decision to be made. There was no decision made by either onfield umpire except to send it upstairs for the third umpire to make the decision. The third umpire viewed several angles of the catch, all of which clearly showed fingers jammed under the ball & no possible way the ball could of contacted the ground. The third umpire made the wrong call & gave a not out decision. The third umpire got it wrong, not the technology. Do you understand that my point is humans are interpreting the technology & still getting it wrong when the evidence is clear? You can improve the technology all you like, that's not going to stop the person interpreting that technology from getting it wrong.
If this had been a decision made my an onfield umpire & given not out it would be easy to accept that people make mistakes & it was very difficult for the onfield umpire to see. We the viewer would see in the replays that we get that it was a clear catch but would also be able to see how an onfield umpire without the benefit of replays could not be sure one way or the other so would give the batsman the benefit of the doubt. The video referee doesn't have those excuses. In this instance the technology was up to the tast, the human interpreting it was not.
Take a look for yourself & then try to tell me that the third umpire didn't get it wrong & technology was to blame:

Ya watching the cricket Yoni? If you are you should understand my point about the muppets that can't interpret the technology now. What a pi$$ poor decision that was. Someone should take to that third umpire with off stump.

I think the old saying "Give him the benefit of the doubt" has just totally disappeared! It seems to me they just go with what their gut feeling is now. DRS on lbw if the umpire wants it and that is it. None of this no ball crap. If its that close that the umpire does'nt know and couldnt call it, the bowler should get the benefit. Siddles no ball was a 50/50 at best.

I agree
It was always the batsmen got the benefit off doubt, and in the case with Usman it was clearly a case of doubt. I couldnt detect anything when I saw it live, and was certainly a little peeved off at the outcome. If doubt, NOT out.
Otherwise I dont mind the technology, but the basic cricket rules like the above should still apply.

i think back in the days the same errors were probably made, but just alot less technology was used back then to scrutinise the umpires decision.
You see it in all sports nowadays, rugby, footy, soccer, tennis.
who would want to be a ref / umpire nowadays.....

Woeful Aussies
Firstly Australia needs to learn how to use the DRS instead of arrogance to save their own wasteful opportunity,secondly the umpires are now afraid to make a decision because of DRS and thus make one (good or bad) then leave it up to the players and lastly if we all agree to get rid of DRS then give the umpires a chance and don't show 30 replays from all angles to prove the decision right or wrong. I'm not backing the umpires by any means (they were crap in both tests). IMO having played near that level the players are too self concerned about their own spot than playing for a team, change the way they think off the field and results may change on the field. Until then England to win 5-0 all under 4 days.

aussie cricket team
I want players that want to play for Australia and not bothered about having tea with the queen and as for wags being on tour as well you cant tell me that helps . I wonder if they get acb contract too Aussie cricket needs a complete over hall starting with that poonce Clarke I just wish simon caditch had done a better job of strangling him I think Boof will go thru the team like a dose of salts after the series if he can stop himself breaking clarkes neck before that he is no border, waugh or can I bring myself to say it yes I can even ponting the aussie captain has the second most important job in Australia and as far as I am concerned he has to be a bloke I would be happy to be in the trenches' with could you say you would be like to be bunkered down with Clarke I don't think so he would wet his designer jeans

A Team
I'm hoping that the A team is going to show up for the rest of the series not the B2 team that has played the first couple of games

I know what you mean though. Embarrassing to witness. Was too young to recall it but I'd imagine this is worse than the mid eighties.

Fuggin disgracefull. Reckon warnie would lynch that ump if he had the chance. Wouldn't be at all surprised to find out there was some back room deals done by the poms.
