the umpire who gave the Nash decision is not the umpire who just gave Ramdin not out

just illustrating the principle of how umpires operate from different ends, like bowlers
― I want sprinkles (country matters), Thursday, 19 February 2009 20:00 (seventeen years ago)
and yeah, that Ramdin decision was definitely one a few umpires would have given
I know that, wasn't in the room when the Ramdin decision was made is all.

Should get Broad back on IMO. Still 30 overs to go.

Fred really deserves a wicket. He's injured and grimacing yet still bowling 90mph

dude, you need to cut down on speaking too soon, if i was in a harsh frame of mind i'd go back through this thread and collate every instance of you saying with absolute certainty "this will be a draw"
although maybe I'M speaking too soon now lol

they didn't really waste much time
― I want sprinkles (country matters), Thursday, 19 February 2009 22:04 (seventeen years ago)
it was the umpires' fault, there's a conspiracy
not enforcing the follow-on, holding out for a 500 lead, etc
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 19 February 2009 22:05 (seventeen years ago)
yeah, wtf with deciding on 500 before the 3rd innings even began
― I want sprinkles (country matters), Thursday, 19 February 2009 22:06 (seventeen years ago)
lead of 280-odd = slog a quick 150 and get back out there
Yeah, give them a rabbit to chase too - though it might've turned out a bit risky, WI batted well enough
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 19 February 2009 22:11 (seventeen years ago)
Not sure you can fault Strauss's decisions to much TBH. Just a very good batting performance by the Windies.

TOO much!
― zero learnt from nero (Neil S), Friday, 20 February 2009 10:14 (seventeen years ago)
Understand why Strauss didn't enforce the follow on, still think it was a dick move, impressed I haven't seen that much grief from the press except I never read the press.

Harmison dropped, half fit swann plays. Hope Sidebottom is fit. Can you see England taking 20 wickets in this match?
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 26 February 2009 15:22 (seventeen years ago)
Not sure about that one, tbh. Although I have a sneaking feeling that Sidebottom is due a haul.
― bitch hooligan, pussy ass nobrain dårk (country matters), Thursday, 26 February 2009 15:24 (seventeen years ago)
Strauss just dropped by Gayle @ slip. An over after he edges wide of the slip because Smith was standing too wide. Strauss is playing like his old self now but with more luck. That wont last forever. I hope he remembers those shots get him out and stops playing them! More newlook Strauss please!
