Haha this is brilliant. Lyon throwing it to that Edwards fella every ball. Crowd getting into it, crowd boos when he pretends to give it to him.

lol@Wahab whinging. Our best batsman was dismissed yesterday off far, far less evidence than that
Lol 'far far less'.

I'm not sure how that works because if the blip on snicko was any smaller they would have had to view it under a microscope!

It was identical to Smith's.

WTF? Chappell. If the ball hits the rope its 4 if it doesn't it's whatever you run.

That is the f**king rule.

speaking of rules, the sub cannot field in a catching position yet Bird has taken 2 in slips which is definitely considered a catching position

has this rule changed ?

I remember when the snicko evidence to give a batsman out had to be a massive, sharp spike.

Now it seems as though the blip caused by the footsteps of an ant are enough.

3.Restrictions on role of substitutes

A substitute shall not be allowed to bat, bowl or act as wicket-keeper. Note also Law 1.3(b) (Captain).

Has lyon really bowled that well? Gramps and plastic spastic are making him sound like Jim Laker.

this is probabaly the best I have seen him bowl, generally I look at the dismissals

an offie is trying to get bowled, lbw or ct at teh wicket, he has one bowled and the rest ct in the outfield

last test he got 3 all ct at sq leg or silly sg leg, I think he has been fortunate to get those outfield catches

I think he's been OK but he hasn't dominated. The commentators are going on like he's single handedly brought Pakistan to their knees.
