2nd Test: West Indies v Australia at Port of Spain Apr 15-19, 2012

so, according to this rule, if someone has been bowled out, you still need to appeal for it in order for it to be a wicket under the laws of cricket

no

only where there is doubt, like caught or LBW, if a player is bowled there is no doubt so no appeal is necessary

 

[TheParraboy]

:lol: can you ever use your powers for good???? Like a Parra win??

Oddly enough, have tipped Parra in every game except the Manly game #-o

:lol: You suck.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Sure...Warner didn't walk though. Plus no batsmen EVER walks for an LBW!

Ponting was so plumb, against NZ iirc, he walked :lol: can't say I'd ever seen that before though :lol:

I don't see how the appeal process is so bad. That's the point of umpires

Wish Pup would stop wasting his good form on starts. Would love for him to really go on with some of these starts. Glad we played 2 spinners tbh.

day 1 tea

Aust 3/132

pup to the rescue again, Sunshine could get a biggie here too

Groundhog day after the new ball has lost its shine, run rate very low. Not an ideal endorsment for test cricket. as intriguing and challenging as it is

As intriguing as these pitches may make the game,it makes it hard for me to stay awake..

Yeah unlike Watson who's conversion rate is outstanding :sarcasm:

 

[Green and Gold Machine]

If we can get anything over 300 tonight it puts us in a very good position.

 

[Hallatia]

Early wicket from WIndies, Wade gone for 11 off a great delivery from Roach. Australia 208/6

 

[Hallatia]

and WIndies took the new ball at the start of play today

 

[TheParraboy]

[aussies1st]

Dam what a slow day wake up to find we have scored 100 runs in 2 sessions.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Opening with Michael Beer. I might go to work early incase I fall back asleep

 

[aussies1st]

WI are in the shits on this pitch, Beer turning it, Hilfy swing/seaming it.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Ball keeping low as well.

Edit

Brathwaite is plumb for sure.

those digicel girls look mighty fine i must say

Pretty sure there was some DigiNip

 

[aussies1st]

Jeez that was a sick ball by Hilfy.

 

[Mr Angry]

Most madiens in a test?

 

[aussies1st]

Nice bowling Beer, good change up.

 

[Mr Angry]

The spinner gets the opener, nice.

I remember looking for maiden records last year and not finding much. I would attempt to compile some stats myself, but I just don't have the resources for that . This is why I need to work at Cricinfo. I just double checked (and got distracted by the book for about an hour) and the only maidens record in my Test Cricket Lists book is "Most Consecutive Maidens"

What I did discover whist looking through the book is that with a qualification of at least 100 test wickets, Brett Lee has the least economical career bowling figures
