Difference between full speed video and a still that provides it conclusively.
Funny how you ignored same when Root clearly grounded one. ;-)

When did Root ground one that he claimed? I've hardly missed a ball bowled in 7 days.
Different series but you knew that.
Did I?

The only one I can remember before was when his fingers were clearly under the ball.
Hence the (yet again) reference to your dire need to see Specsavers very soon. :thumbup:
I hope GIAE had his specs on watching England bat this evening.

That was awful batting from England but a delightful 1st session for Australia which has very much turned the Test.
Another big day ahead today

KP and Strauss still having their little tiff maybe in 40 years time they could have chanel 9 pay them to do a tell nothing interview as well. Because they will hate each other so much nothing would ever get them together………except money.

Thank you for posting that. Hopefully that will keep Bomber quiet for a while.

@ Hawksey

how about Broad celebrating a 'wicket' without appealing which was subsequently not given out???

im sure it contravenes some ICC article...maybe you can 'educate' us....

My opinion is that he caught it and had control of it the entire time.
However, can see why it was given 'not out' given the letter of the law.
Before you call me 'biased' it would be my exact opinion even if an Aussie was batting - the only difference would be my feeling about the outcome of it.
6 wickets or 257 runs to win this Test - looking forward to tonight!

If you are falling and sliding, you are not in control of your body.

Green, Laubasagne, Smith and now Starc. As the crowd sing - "same old aussies, always cheating".

If he'd caught it and then fallen over and slid over the boundary then would you say OUT or a SIX?

it seems according to ex-cricketers on social media there is a general lack of understanding of how to interpret the 2nd part....in control of the ball and your body.
Even England’s assistant coach Marcus Trescothick could not understand why it wasn’t out.

just like a fielder throws the ball in the air indicating he has control over it, what if Starc intentionally put his hand with the ball in it on the ground???

Can you be in control of your body if you're falling or sliding?

If he'd slid over the boundary rope, what would you have given?

im not disagreeing with the technical interpretation but how does an umpire interpret the intent of the fielder regarding body movement once they have caught the ball?

When and where is the ball not under control?

This just shows you didn't watch it and don't know the laws of cricket.

It's not enough to just have the ball under control.

Because if you answer them you might work out where you're going wrong

Prime example if what I say. Aussies are so good at whingeing but don't know what it is.

Ok...then...back to the cricket as we leave Hawksey to keep drinking...

History is on the Aussies side, however, the poms have chased down such a total of late and we know what Stokes did against us last time we were in England. Get Stokes out in the first session and you'd think we win.
