2nd Ashes Test: England v Australia, Lord's July 18-22.

[Doctor Feel]

I have no idea what's going on.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Any idiot could see the fingers wrapped under the ball.

3rd umpire is a complete idiot of the first order. Sick of sh1t going against us.

 

[lmach]

Warney is fuming. Let 'em know.

 

[TheStinger]

I still would like to know what kind of screen that the 3rd umpire has.

 

[NinjaBear]

Giesch - "It was the right call"

 

[Tony Harrison]

I hope the 3rd ump gets the sack. Absolutely no reason he should hold that position. But in the scheme of this game, who gives a flying .....?

 

[Plugger35]

Get a HD tv Warney, it bounces twice.

 

[Munga]

Warney letting rip and not letting go haha. Great to hear.

 

[headache1]

ok then...

get out the god damned pitch forks

****ing cheating sheep shaggers!

 

[Tulip]

Beware the might of the ££££££££££££££££££££

 

[wikinick257]

Benefit of the doubt to the poms

 

[Super Hans]

I hope someone in our team has the balls to speak up about this crap.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

if Root had of been caught by Haddin early on when he was on 10 or so, and Bell was now gone, we would be looking at batting before Tea, but noooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[JackFlash]

Cricket is now in serious trouble, it is out of control and the authorities have problems. It is either officiated by incompetence or it's corrupt. Cricket has become farcical and now unwatchable.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

It maybe would have saved the Aussies an extra 100 runs on top of whatever the flogging is going to end up.

 

[blaze036]

I'll laugh if Aleem Dar is the 3rd umpire ATM.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

I still would like to know what kind of screen that the 3rd umpire has.

One with a lot of dead pixels apparently.

 

[Zach Package]

Warne is one of the most prolific slippers ever, and he's exactly right.

if it takes turf on the half volley it'll stub the ends of the digits. if you get the fingers under it it kinda rolls up the hands into the top of the palm.

Clearly out IMO

 

[Jimthegreat]

Bounced

Good decision

Bounced on his fingers and into the palm, never touched the ground. Anyone would didn't see that has eyesight problems.

 

[eddiesmith]

I thought it looked like it went through his hands and touched the ground before he brought it up, anyway wasn't conclusive evidence to give it

Also whilst Smith went yep, caught it straight away, as he was walking to the huddle he looked a lot less sure, saying yeah I think so but not confident

 

[Belnakor]

Get a HD tv Warney, it bounces twice.

Plugger shouldn't you be off on a ledge somewhere crying about how the umps robbed the saints again?

 

[beez]

I'm a massive umpire apologist. I think, generally, they do a fantastic job and get unjust criticism for 2 or 3 incorrect decisions in a match. Contrary to most cricket fans, for the most part, I thought Dar and Dharmesena were fine at Trent Bridge. I appreciate that people are a bit dismayed at the moment because of the perceived lack of luck we've had in this Test series, but the 'cheat' calls really grind my gears. However...


EVERY ****ING UMPIRE IN THIS TEST SERIES CAN **** OFF FOR ALL I CARE. ABSOLUTE ****ING DISGRACE.

 

[TheStinger]

One with a lot of dead pixels apparently.

Probably black and white as well.

 

[CAS79]

protocol is out the window

For the next 8 and half test matches we do not walk, even if we hit it to fine leg.
we do not accept their word on a catch even if they took it above their head
We run for overthrows even if it rebounds off bat/body
Mankad is a legitimate form of dismissal.
