Why did Stokes review when he knew the catch wasn't taken.

Memories flood back of that Herschelle Gibbs drop vs Australia in '99....
I think thats a fair/right call, but then what's the difference with that and dragging catches along the turf which everyone was moaning about being called unfairly?
England going out with a whimper here.
Agree he shouldn't be losing the review.
Potential game losing moment. But the rules are also unclear. If instead of it getting thrown due to the hit on the thigh. If he just completes the complete swing motion of his hand and throws it away then it would be a clear out. ICC needs to come with clear objective rules in terms of x seconds the ball has to be in the hand without touching the ground for it to be a catch.
he smacked the ball out of his hand on his leg going to celebrate
It smacked his leg 'cos he was coming down from jumping - it was just an accident.
In both instances the correct call was made
Why? He didn't catch the ball?
That's gutting, but right decision
Australia are just an insanely lucky cricket team. That has probably never happened to stokes before
What an idiot
Only aussies were complaining, that was a drop and this was a drop both different levels of stupid but stupid drops none the less.
Wouldn't that be a catch equivalent of umpires call?
There isn't amoung any right minded observers. In neither case where the ball and body under control at the same time.
No real luck involved here dude. Very poor fielding, not to mention if Australia held on to their catches this game would already be Australia's
I thought he threw it away thinking it came off the pad and couldn't be out.
Reviewing a catch you didn't take. Within the spirit of the game?
He didnt throw it, it whacked off his knee as he was landing from the jump
yeah you're right, i missed when the ball came out. it was on the downward
Oh come on. This is one of the best fielders ever who took a real good catch. It just is a freak incident
He was in the process of throwing it back up in the air in celebration though was he not?
Umpire's call only works for umpires, this is more akin to reviewing an edge where it is clear you have edged the ball.
What I'm not sure about it why England don't think they should lose a review? The catch was given not out, we reviewed and it was not out?
Call it what you want that is just bad cricket. You should not drop that and he did.
The review system allows for stupid/pointless reviews. He’s only harming his own team.
I think his arm was just swinging back down as it naturally would when you don't have your balance.
He actually would have been better of just not trying to land on his feet - thats where he messed up.
It’s really true. This is exactly what happened to Gibbs. Another gun fielder but completely freakish
They’re probably arguing the review was to see whether it hit glove or pad.
Maybe maybe not I'd say its inconclusive, I thought it came out as his arm was going down more than coming up, either way probably the series lost right there
That was poor from Stokes. Could turn out to be real costly.
Looked to me like he was swinging his arm so he could throw the ball up in the air, the instant he landed.
I wonder if that needs to be coached out of cricket? Always seemed a bit mad to celebrate catches in a way that might end up with the catch ruled out. Even if the risk is tiny. Just get the fecking thing under control and count to five before you let go of it.
actually Stokes' arm was on the up, but it was a reaction to trying to get balance...maybe some premature celebration. So stupid.
It was a windmill
It was a windmill
And that, Ladies and Gents, is all but the end of this match and series.
