I like it when Isha looks at me, when Brett Lee is chatting

 

[jargan83]

India can't buy a 50/50 lbw.

It's like trying to get Miandad out lbw in Pakistan.

 

[mave]

Brett Lee dangerously close to calling for a declaration there

Shut up Tommy

 

[_snafu_]

200 up!!


Bowlers score over half the runs again.

We should declare. Get these buggers out for 28 and then get on the frothies to celebrate.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

too high, huge stride forward

Absolutely.

To give an LBW the umpire has to be certain it would hit the stumps. If he has doubt, it’s not out.

Starc at 6ft 12, lunging down the pitch, hit on the knee roll. There’s your doubt.

close on DRS

 

[jargan83]

Great leave Haze lol

 

[TIGER14]

lol. What a way to end the innings.

 

[_snafu_]

Well left...lol

 

[TIGER14]

The Big Show would be proud

 

[Tommy Smith]

Lol just clipping the bails as usual.

Does DRS get a commission every time this happens?

I have a different view of lbw. If a bowler is good enough to get the ball beyond the batsman's bat, and it strikes perfectly in line at a fair height, then it's f**king out. Bowler wins the battle.

It's like the Burns non-lbw earlier. The bowler landed a yorker on his toe directly in line with off stump. Out. Bowler won the battle.

If you're not giving that out because it might, just mighhht, slip past leg stump then you're doing it wrong as an umpire. Way too much advantage to the batsman.

The rules might say otherwise but that's just how I see the contest of cricket between bowler and batsman. I'm not asking for howlers; but the ones that "clip" a fair chunk of the stump should go more in the bowlers favour.

Otherwise let's just have two f**king stumps.

 

[hineyrulz]

69 run lead, niiiiiiiiice.

 

[TIGER14]

Nearly a double 36.
Should be a tough chase for India.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

The summit of 69.

 

[JJ]

69 run lead, niiiiiiiiice.

Warnie sniggering like Beavis and Butthead?

 

[Tommy Smith]

Lmao in the umpires defence they were both missing leg and off stump.

 

[Sphagnum]

The summit of 69.

which incidentally is how Kholi is spending most of his spare time back in India with his mate Dhoni.

 

[some11]

Not a defendable total. India will probably be maybe 4/5 down at worst.

 

[Sphagnum]

Lmao in the umpires defence they were both missing leg and off stump.

I love how macgrath goes to him at the end of the over and asks were they missing off or leg or were they too high? Give me something?

And old mate pulls the classic ‘no English’ on him.

 

[JJ]

Not out
