@cricketcomau@Westpac Yeah, he caught it. But for the sake of consistency, these have been given not out if a still frame shows even a blade of grass touching the ball. As per the photo below, it should have been not out purely based on that.
@MarkGottlieb Khawaja hit 80 and 40 last Test and looked great - he’s likely going to finish up in Sydney anyway. Marnus scored 5 domestic tons in a row leading into the series, but hasn’t done as well as he’d like. Weatherald has been the best opener in the domestic competition for 2 years.
Did Joe Root catch this? Yes.
Has this consistently been ruled ‘not out’ as the vision shows ball touching grass? Also yes.
So why is it out this time? Anyone’s guess. #Ashes2025
@oldernewbs@FoxCricket He’s just going about his work and then turns around and there’s a bloke that can’t get him out talking shit, what’s he supposed to do?
@FoxCricket Archer’s attitude just flat out stinks. He’s been moping around all Test then finally decides to fire up when the match is essentially finished and then gets dominated again.
Whenever I see English cricket fans claim Australian cricket fans are ‘obsessed’ with English cricket, I just remember the English have a group of grown men whose entire schtick is making up songs about opposition players 😂 now that’s obsession #theashes
@backdownfromno1 @Zeff_Cuevas @BlueJays@Dodgers But under the current rules if he thinks it’s lodged he’s not meant to touch it, otherwise it’s live ball.
