I’d love to know more about how spidercam works, and I’m sure Google could tell me.
I’m guessing here but I imagine if one of the cables came adrift, the other three would make the system safe. In other words, human error is more of a problem than the technology.

Weak dismissal Warner, really weak

We usually a get a couple of those each season and they are all given out but not this time and its the inconsistency I cant put up with.
Re: Warner.....think he has played his farewell innings in Melbourne and should retire from test cricket before the next ashes.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 01-04-2023
Yep, old man feet and couldn't GAF attitude with the bat - time to go.
I would have been annoyed to be given out to that one to slip, with the naked eye I thought it contacted the ground before being scooped up, I thought it was a fair call by the third umpire.

Talking about blokes out of form, Maharaj can't land two in a row in the same metre of pitch.

Harmer has been better but in that typical english county pro way which doesn't work out here either.
I would have played Gerald Coetzee who is a young rookie fast bowler with real pace for the experience and gone with the one spinner. Most of the Aus batsman don't like real pace and South Africas success has always been built around their pace attack over the years and that's what wins tests in Australia.

Why not give Khawaja 5 or 10 overs to get his double ton ? It's not like the game or the series (or even in the summer) is in the balance. Cr@p decision IMO.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 01-07-2023
Because winning the test match counts for more than a personal milestone. One over plus a change of innings is 15 minutes or about 4 overs. This match will come down to the wire
