SKYs Catch

Boundary cushions were not moved by SKY or any other Indian fielder.  If they had done, it would hv been caught on camera. 

Most probably the cushions were at the same position when Ind batted as well. 

So, it's same for both teams. 

 

Moreover, there are times when the boundary line is invisible, especially on grounds with lush green outfields (viz: NZ, Eng, SA).

It is the rope which decides the outcome, not the boundary line.

Then its incompetence by ICC, cushions should be same place as the line. The rope is under the cushions AFAIK

i dont care about the the toblerone being out of position, that is unfortunate but can happen. i don't even care if the foot marginally touched, we know even technology can lead to different conclusions from the same footage. what disappointed me most was kettleborough omitting to check or zoom in from a better angle.

in the 90s people could lean against the booundary billboards in Aus and take catches... that was legal

Shaun Pollock says the catch was clean. If the cushion were moved during the course of the game , ICC needs to clarify the reason.

isn't there some requirement to declare a parody account. that's not the real kettleborough surely! (who was 3rd umpire for the catch)

The cushion was moved before the game, not during. See posts above.

I am again repeating for all. Boundary ropes and cushions are pushed in and out based on the position of pitch. This match was centre pitch and last match in same ground was a pitch to the right. So rightfully the cushion and rope was pushed further to ensure dimensions are fine. The white line you see is the remnants of the last match rope impressions.

I was only repeating what he is saying. He thinks it was moved back during course of the game

Similar incidents have happened multiple times before especially with Pak players: https://www.wisden.com/series/icc-mens-cricket-world-cup-2023-24/cricket-news/explained-why-imam-ul-haq-kusal-mendis-catch-legal-fielder-falling-original-boundary-marking-cwc-2023

 

In the above case also, ICC confirmed that the boundary had been moved for the entirety of the match. So it could be similar in the Ind SA final.

 

Also, SKY can only judge catch based on where the boundary cushion is for him. He took the catch at hip height, it wasn't at head height. So if the boundary cushion was a few cm in, he would have adjusted accordingly taking it few cm above near his head.

True.

This is World Cup 2023 Pak vs SL match in Hyderabad. Imam took Mendis's catch. Many Indian fans were pissed on this claiming conspiracy that Pakistani fielders are pushing boundary ropes.

The only way to reduce controversies in terms of touching the cushion padding is having zing cushions which will light up if you touch it. But it ll be damm expensive to have that as it ll have to be a kilometre long.

This bothered me more than the catch being clean or not.

IMO catch was clean, there was nothing to suggest that he touched the boundary line. The small whiff that you refer to seemed like grass scraping off and not contact, because the boundary line didn't move one millimeter.

 

But how did the boundary line itself move before the catch was taken? I noticed this real time too.. Nothing to suggest the fielder did anything, but this shady stuff will always keep pooks busy.

 

Well, don't be bothered...

Yup. And all these Indian fans saying it wasn't a big deal, I wonder how they would feel if the shoe was in the other foot.

Boss, read the rest of this thread. There is enough evidence that the cushions were moved before the match. People are clutching at straws here.
