WTF are Slats and Warne on about? That was clearly missing down leg

 

[The Charlatan]

Hate to keep harping on with cricket stories, but I'd be interested in people's thoughts on the following....

We're defending a modest total one day and coming in to the last over, the opposition need 3 or 4 runs, plenty of wickets in the shed... but anyway, first or 2nd ball of the over, batsmen pushed one towards point and they take off for a quick single... our fielder picks it up and throws at the non-strikers end, and the ball hits right on the edge of the concrete slab that the synthetic pitch is laid on and bounces back over towards a gap between cover/mid off, and the batsmen then go and take a 2nd run.... We were livid, telling them it was very un-sportsmanlike. They shrugged it off and duly won the game a couple of balls later... Wouldn't have changed the result (more than likely) but I thougth it was pretty low tbh

Meh I wouldn't have been too upset by it TBH. It's not as though the conditions changed for either team. The guy fielding should have aimed better.

 

[Incorrect]

No issues with that tbh. It's harsh but it's really no different to the ball taking a bad bounce on the infield for example.

So that was you!

Merkin!!!

Merkin!!!

Wouldn't have been me mate, getting anyone else in my sides lower order to run a second is like getting spin out of a Nathan Lyon delivery!

First time I have watched Wade for an extended period

He does indeed look pretty dire

That's why they aren't umpires!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Warne is special.

 

[Bazal]

Good grab Renshaw

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Good catch and the beard falls.

Huge but why was Hazelwood off for that nuffy Bird anyway???

 

[aussies1st]

Great stuff Haze

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Definitely zipping around a bit. Thank f**k we bowled first otherwise we would be 8/15.

Renshaw playing in his 1st test has already found his way into 1st slip, times have changed

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Didnt even have to fake a calf injury like watto to get in there either.

commentary going from strength to strength.... Warne to KP

"That nuffy" has a better test bowling average than Haze tbh. Granted it's over fewer tests, but still

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol giggles. We're going to check every ball while the bowler walks back to his mark.

What about spinners goose.

And didnt that nuffy go through the kiwis like dysentery earlier this year?

 

[Bazal]

Holy shit Wade caught it!

Good nut from Haze
