And this is it, he can't win either way. They were pinned down by a sustained period of very good bowling and good field positions that dried the runs up, KP wanted to score and tried to take advantage of one of the few scoring opportunities. With hindsight he got it wrong and should've waited...
I don't think you can criticise KP for playing that shot, it sat up for him to hit it but it looks like he went a fraction early on it, probably as a result of the difference in pace between johnson and siddle
One thing the Aussie bowling attack have done really well collectively in every test so far is to tighten things up when they've leaked a few runs. When we've leaked a few runs our bowlers have panicked and gone searching for wickets by bowling short balls and they've been punished. The Aussies...
Looking even worse now, they've just showed the replay and on the fame that coincides with the noise you can see clear air between bat and ball.
I actually think real time snicko is a bit flawed when used with a standard camera, the frame rate isn't high enough so you can get a noise in...
This is where DRS falls down, you've got video umpires who don't understand the technology. The ICC need to train specialist video umpires who can study the science behind stuff like snicko and hotspot. You can see from the soundwave that the noise wasn't a nick, it was more of a dull sound...
Well spotted :lolol:
I think anybody with eyes and ears can see that this team is playing badly, there's not really any debate to be had there. I'm more concerned with the underlying reasons and what they should be doing to fix it, if I was marking someone's maths homework I'd be more concerned...
Were you saying it on the last tour when they were all taking wickets? Or during any home series when they all take wickets? Your analysis seems to only consist of "we're all crap, and even if we're not crap it doesn't count because players were all better 30 years ago".
I keep saying it -...
