5th CB Series ODI: Fri 30 Jan Australia v South Africa @ WACA Perth

[aussies1st]

WTF were the captain and vice doing.

 

[scottyeel]

Warner run out off bowler.
crock of sh*t that rule.

 

[IanG]

Warner out. What a merkin of a way to get out. Backing up too far and via straight drive brushes the bowler's fingers.

 

[aussies1st]

All batters do that can't blame him.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Get rid of that fu*cking law!

Stupid
Stupid
Stupid

It is an absolutely disgraceful law :x

 

[JoeD]

Chapelli is blaming the backing up law change for the runout?!?

 

[African Monkey]

Yes he's unlucky but he's not the first.

 

[DragonPunk]

Horrible way to get out and now Australia are truly pushing sh*t up hill.

 

[JoeD]

Get rid of that fu*cking law!

Stupid
Stupid
Stupid

It is an absolutely disgraceful law :x

what law do you want changed? the runout law?

 

[El Diablo]

funny how the sheep f**kers arrive en masse when wickets fall

 

[JoeD]

you seem upset, is everything alright?

 

[ElectricEelMan]

what law do you want changed? the runout law?

Yep
I know it is legitimate
But there is absolutely no skill required in those dismissals
There is some sort of skill (or lack of skill) in all other dismissals
But not that one
Just dumb luck

We haven't done anything. People are saying that the law should be changed in regards to Warner's dismissal when really he's just unlucky but it's not as if he's the first to fall victim to the dismissal.

 

[El Diablo]

upset :lol:

i'm not from New Zealand so life couldn't be better

i wasn't born with a mental defect

 

[JoeD]

I've actually seen a couple of the kiwi bowlers play for that kind of dismissal, I can't remember who maybe Styris and Adams.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

upset :lol:

Don't worry
we get to destroy the Blackcaps from this Sunday

Blackcaps - Letting the opposition get back in form since 1929

 

[JoeD]

Maybe it was McMillan.

upset :lol:

thats great El, it really seemed like you were upset about something.

 

[Blaze]

Australia's lower order really doesn't look as intimidating as it used to. These two both need to dig in and try to score at 5 an over for the next 25 overs. That really don't want to be leaving themselves anymore than 90 runs to get in the last 10.

A Hussey brother match winning partnership would be pretty cool here. As I type, Michael gets the benefit of the doubt with a close LBW call. That pull shot gets him in trouble a lot...

EDIT: f**k the aussie/kiwi bashing is dire. Who comes onto the internet to bait strangers about childish sh*t like that? Post something constructive

 

[aussies1st]

The spinner has troubled him a lot more like it.

How does hit wicket , handled ball or timed out require any skill by the bowling team ??????

Its these laws that make cricket a great game, the non striker jumping the start has tipped the pendulum in favour of the batsman, so this helps to even it out...
