Richardson's denied hat-trick gives cricket.com.au an umpiring debate

Fifteen uploads mix Sheffield Shield drama, Cape Town Test podcasts and Mitchell Starc's golf-course detour.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Did Jhye Richardson deserve a hat-trick here?

Nathan McSweeney edges behind. Jason Sangha follows him next ball, caught by Hilton Cartwright at first slip. Then Jhye Richardson hits Jake Lehmann's pad, Western Australia appeals, and the umpire says no.

That last delivery supplies the question in cricket.com.au's most watched new upload, "Did Jhye Richardson deserve a hat-trick here?" The replay leaves a commentator convinced it would have hit off stump. Viewers are less unanimous: some see a clear dismissal, others see the ball drifting past off, and several settle on a marginal call. Roughly 46,000 views later, the appeal has a much bigger discussion attached to it.

Richardson also occupies the channel's next-busiest spot with a separate highlights package of the same spell. Alongside those clips, the Unplayable Podcast has been following Australia's deciding Test against South Africa at Newlands. Josh Schonafinger and Louis Cameron's day-three recap credits Josh Inglis, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon with putting Australia in a dominant position.

There was room away from the pitch, too. "Uncovered: Starc and Aussies hit the links in South Africa 🏌️‍♂️" follows the men's team around St Francis Links, swapping bowling spells for golf swings.

The channel added nearly ten million views over seven days while its subscriber total stayed unchanged. Its current daily viewing pace is a little below usual. In the neighboring cricket channels, New Zealand Cricket is having a particularly busy spell, while the England & Wales Cricket Board is running below its usual daily pace. For cricket.com.au, the freshest talking point remains a wicket that never went into Richardson's figures.
