2nd ASHES TEST: @ Lords Jun 28 - Jul 2nd, 2023

As a neutral Kiwi it comes down to common sense for me. The catch was cleanly taken, Starc then used the ball for some balance. Would we prefer he face plants or tears a shoulder while holding the ball above his head in that instance?

The control of body law I'd clearly interpret as when the boundary rope comes into play. If he was using the ball to break his slide over the boundary rope then I'd agree it's not out.

Got a bad feeling poms will do to us what we did to them first test , win it with a wkt or two to spare

Be prepared for 1-1 folks..

Just saw the highlights. That's clearly a catch from Starc. He had well under control before it was dragged along the ground.
Guess we'll have to get him out a forth time.

Also England, if you don't want players to go off from concussion, quit bowling at the head. Thos extra 15 runs we scored with Lyon are looking kind of valuable.

Still a chance. Although after Bairstow its a long tail.

Getting those kind of bullshit decisions is bad juju for England.

What goes around comes around.

Situations such as yesterday make me thankful to see Jofra Archer not playing in this Ashes series.

Compared to plodders such as Robinson, Jofra's extra pace and bounce (combined with the slope from the Pavilion End at Lord's) would've caused the Aussies a lot of problems.

 

[Desert Qlder]

The English are really trying to be seen as the arseholes and wankers of this Ashes series.

Comes easy I suppose, lean into your strengths.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

More chance of them finding that OceanGate submarine than Australia winning at Lords.

 

[yobbo84]

The "control of your body" in that rule is meant for situations where for example you take a tumbling catch but use the ground to help stay in control of the ball... not for sliding on your knees after the world's most obvious catch

Absolute moronic decision

Duckett's an arsey merkin isnt he. I reckon england found this guy down at the local orphanage before the series.
