Fourth Test: India v England, 8-12 Dec.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Close one. Thought Buttler would be given out on review.

Any news of Reiffel. I see Erasmus is out there.

[backfootpunch]

That was out

Was an obvious deflection

The ball changed paths as it passed the bat

onfield umpire gave it not out and the 3rd umpire overturned it based on what he saw on snicko tho, not based on any deflection

It was out either way

Definitely hit it

Whether the right decision was made for the wrong reason is a different matter

sorry dont agree

the process is meant to be that the onfield decision stands unless there is conclusive evidence it was out and there was enough doubt there to mean it should have stayed with the original decision

Hence why I said right decisionfor the wrong reason

There was a clear deflection but the umpire used it the technology incorrectly

they said after play yesterday that he had been checked out at the hospital and was ok, not heard anything more about why he isn't officiating today

I feel sorry for the fellow that's drawn the short straw of third umpire, it's a tough job for those experienced so for him it must be a nightmare. There did appear to be an obvious deflection so for whatever reason the correct result was arrived at.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Cheers.

sorry for being pedantic but i dont think he used the technology wrongly, he didn't apply the process correctly

its not the job of the 3rd umpire to decide if a batsman is out or not, his job is to decide whether the decision made by the onfield umpire was correct and is only meant to overturn if he has conclusive evidence, and i just think there was enough doubt there not to overturn it

Bringing Buttler in at seven as a specialist bat feels a bit like mending the car's fan belt with your girlfriend's stocking at the side of the road. The best you can do with what is to hand, and it might just work until something more permanent can be arranged.

One wicket in 27 overs for Sir J is perhaps too little. Going at 2.7 an over too.

he hasn't inspired confidence but he has contributed at least and showed a bit of willingness to dig in

[rich1uk]

another cracking delivery

buttler might want to have a bit of a biff soon and just get as many as he can

[Arthur Crabtree]

Woakes walks. But another little partnership, of 23.

More of the same for Adil.

Now are you pleased with yourself, getting Woakes out is a blot on your record.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Maybe wait until Rashid goes before teeing off.

I hoped no one noticed.

yeah i suppose he does have 10 FC centuries so hopes for another partnership

Yes you are being pedantic

There was an obvious deflection it was out
