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

[Gough]

Painted orange, the light pylons look like they've been inspired by the Golden Gate Bridge.

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

 

[Coasters7]

I knew they'd give it not out as soon as they reviewed it. Slow mo makes it looks way worse.

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

Shithouse Sydney weather strikes again

 

[Hamingja]

Ponting saying at least 10 minutes. At the races it is a default 30 minutes whenever they see a lightning strike.

Hate this shit that’s come into cricket in the last few years with these catches. Can’t think of many that I think have been not out, they’re not bobbling, they’re in the hand first then brushing the grass through the grip.

News flash, when you spread your fingers out there is 4 gaps there.

 

[Plugger35]

Sydney should be banned from hosting cricket until they have an indoor stadium, their weather is a troll that can't be trusted.

Fingers were always between the ball and the ground

What a farce, that's been a fair catch for the whole history of cricket

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

The silly Pom knew

If he takes it cleanly it’s a catch. He didn’t, it bobbled and hit the ground.
seemed clear to me.

I think Curran has grounded that, not out.

2D camera from miles away. That's a catch. Sick of 2D cameras giving those not out because vision is not clear. Those things near always having the ball "touch the ground" when most times they didn't. Unfair on t5he fielding team. Once the fingers were under the ball grass is irrelevant.

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.

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.

Go the Lightning

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.

Good to be safe than sorry

Only a domestic game at least

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

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

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.

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

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.
