:lol: He nearly blew his load when they snuck through for the tieing run. This was the series when the Windies thought they had already won the series and the ACB made them play the 3rd so Viv and Lloyd spat it and didn't play and they still whooped us :lol:

:lol: They were a shit hot side..

I see the great man Kenny Macleay is playing in this replay..

Yeah love watching the stuff I grew up watching.

When the outfits were simple designs, each team had the same pattern and weren't a dogs breakfast like most modern ones. I do wonder what were they made of bacl then

Does SL have to face a minimum of 15 overs for a result? Dont think we will get another ball bowled here tonight

I might go over IanGs place and play a game of Uno or two

Just because there is a review system, the umpires are still trying to make the right calls. Or do you hink it affects their decisions?

Pretty sure Clarke will not review in a similar situation next time. Even if he's given out in a 50/50 decision, he'll know to leave it alone and only worry about howlers like when you know you've hit the ball first. It's a relatively new system, one review only, and they'll get much better at it with experience.

I agree otherwise that 50/50 or marginal decisions should be left with the umpires. And that's exactly how this system is designed to work.

The system is poorly designed, as it asks the players to make a judgement call on whether a decision is a howler or 50/50. That is manifestly not the players job.
