BBL Match 42 Knockout Sydney Thunder v Melbourne Stars 22/1 1900hrs @ Sydney Showgrounds Stadium

You can’t use the ground to catch the ball my goodness

The silly Pom knew

How do you tell with a 2D camera looking down from outside the ground. Thay all look like they touch the ground even when their fingers are under the ball. It's never fair on the fielding team.

1 lightning hit on the tracker up near Hornsby and last time i checked, that was more than 10 klicks from Homebush

Good to be safe than sorry

Only a domestic game at least

Fingers were always between the ball and the ground

Initially yeah but when they roll it through you can see it stop on the grass and get pushed by the fingers then scooped back up again. A lot clearer than the Smith one for me.

Don’t bobble the ball and use the ground to brace the ball. You can’t do it. It’s a clear non catch

 

[Pure_Ownage]

This one definitely hit the ground though. Can clearly see it “drag” on the grass before he gets it under complete control

It hit the ground but his fingers are under it when it does (the camera angle is misleading) and he already has it in control in his hands.

The Smith catch below in the Test that supposed touched the ground from the out of the ground cameras. This one showed the fingers under the ground.

The next frame has the wrist tilting the ball into the ground.

Initially they were but then it bobbled out on to the ground before Curran scooped it up again, I thought it was a fair call.

I'm not barracking for either team so I'm not biased like some Stars or Thunder supporters might be, I call it like I see it.

Me neither , long suffering Renegades fan here[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

We're losing overs because of that delay. FFS.

No he doesn’t he bobbled it that means he doesn’t have control then used the ground to brace the ball, can’t do it. Not out

It looks like they should get back out their soon but knowing the BBL this game will already be reduced to a 15 over game.

Down to 10 overs

You can't tell that from those cameras. Not a hope. Fingers are allowed to be split under the ball and touch grass as long as they are under the ball.

Hey I understand what you guys are saying about the catch but I just find the whole tech thing stinks.

19 overs per side

What is it with Fox showing food trucks?

Was ridiculous last night some of the crowd footage and they’re going again tonight.

I understand there’s a delay and you need to fill time but I really don’t need to see people buying chips at a food truck.

Thanks anyway.

4 overs power play 2 overs power surge

what is this lightning rule?
too dangerous for the players but the safety of the crowd is left in the hands of the gods.

Nah I dunno. If you watch the full clip the ball falls out the front of his hand, gets pushed on the grass and then scooped back into his hands again, unless I’m seeing things.

Any light night within a 10kmph radius the players are pulled. Lightning is now outside the radius

I'm not sure bowling first was a great idea on this pitch.

Yeah fair but this one looks like it came out the front of the hand and hit the grass. I’m usually in favour of it being fielders benefit too but this one is one of the clearer ones I’ve seen. Definitely uses the grass to get it back into his hands.

Love that we’ve given a spin pitch

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Do something Billings

 

[010203]

No doubt about that catch.

You're lucky your playing the Stars as they are stupid enough to win the toss and bowl first on a spinning deck.

 

[smasha]

Yessss!
