snowychap Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I assume (from the use of snicko) it wasn't a nick then, just late swing.Why? Essentially, because 'snicko' hasn't said definitively that he hit it, you assume that he must not have - which is effectively saying that it (snicko) is infallible (or at least that you put sufficient confidence in it that it must always be the decision on which to rely even if it countermands the decisions made by the on field officials.

I'm not saying it's infallible but with what was available at the time (well, kind of), I think snicko gave the best answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm saying that I think snicko displayed the correct result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Snicko isn't perfect because the sound isn't always in sync with the pictures. A batsman knows when hes hit it and Trott was very adamant he did. Anyway its gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) I'm saying that I think snicko displayed the correct result. So nothing other than you thought he didn't hit it and snicko confirmed this bias? Or rather we've gone from 'he didn't get anything on it' and 'there was no inside edge' to 'I assume (from the use of snicko) it wasn't a nick then, just late swing' and 'I think it displayed the correct result'. 'Precisely' seems apposite. Edited July 12, 2013 by snowychap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Just watched the highlights:Bell's knock was superb; Broad was a disgrace (Bairstow looked like he walked - i.e. without having to look at the umpire - when he got the edge).The not walking attitude is a shocker. I'm glad I only ever played with a few people with that outlook and I managed to avoid ever playing with them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Yes bell is class. Hope he makes his 18th test hundred today, read quite a few posts, not just in here that he should be dropped, well they must look a bit foolish now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) Think we'll be looking to get a 300 lead today before declaring or telling the batsmen to go wild. One and a half days to get the Aussies out, sorted. Edited July 13, 2013 by Phumfeinz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted July 13, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2013 Impressive 50 from Broad too, that was long overdue. I see him around here loads, really really nice bloke. I often speak to him, considering his level and fame he is as down to earth as your average guy on the street. In stark contrast I also see Swanny around a lot as well as he used to live around the corner, again nice guy but not the same character he is in front of a camera. I saw him last night actually, driving away from the ground looking more than a little sheepish, I waved then gave him a bit of a wag of the finger and shake of the head which amused him.

Milfner Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 Out for 65. More than decent innings, needed someone to stay with Bell. @Trent, it's surprising that you said that. I really don't like Broad in all honesty, there's something about him that annoys me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Damn, Bell out for 109 Job is done though! Australia will have to get a record 4th innings score to at Trent Bridge to win this now. Bell doesn't go on forums. I run one for Warwickshire cricket and he doesn't go on there. A lot of cricketers don't even use twitter. I know Jim Troughton doesn't.
