Gayle gets Strauss out C&B so the WI aren't punished after all.

I would walk in most circumstances, actually!
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:38 (seventeen years ago)
So will Shah run cook out or himself? Or will he get out on the boundary slogging?
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:38 (seventeen years ago)
Shah was lucky there
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:41 (seventeen years ago)
Shah out
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:42 (seventeen years ago)
(for good)
england falling to bits
lol chill out dude, this is gonna be a bit white-water, plenty of batsmen still in the hutch
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:45 (seventeen years ago)
like, Shah *had* to go for his shots, as do all the others. some will fall.
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:46 (seventeen years ago)
WI wont chase a total. Gayle might but the others wont. England have to and could easily be all out for 40 or 50
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:47 (seventeen years ago)
Shah didn't. You never HAVE to chase wide balls.
England have to and could easily be all out for 40 or 50
Sometimes I wonder whether you're watching the same sport as I am :P
You don't HAVE to chase wide balls, but I sense that quite a lot of balls delivered in this innings will be just that, so it kinda helps.
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:49 (seventeen years ago)
WI will feel that once they get KP out games over.
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:54 (seventeen years ago)
Cook reckons he didnt edge it so is referring
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:18 (seventeen years ago)
but the umpire must have conclusive proof to overturn in
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:19 (seventeen years ago)
so im guessing out
unless they get it wrong like with chanderpaul
i dont think he hit it btw. even with the replay
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:20 (seventeen years ago)
so i cant see why that was given out in the 1st place
This is all very silly.
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:20 (seventeen years ago)
given out
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:21 (seventeen years ago)
now we might score some quick runs!!
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:21 (seventeen years ago)
Makes you wonder why he reversed the decision to give Chanderpaul out. All this is doing is giving the WI a benefit.
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:22 (seventeen years ago)
Still a little peeved about that Chanderpaul decision tbh.
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:23 (seventeen years ago)
Dar told Harper that he only heard the sound of the ball hitting the glove, no nick. Harper insisted he did hear it so wont change his decision.HARPER IS A CHEAT!
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:23 (seventeen years ago)
oh here we go again
WI so confident in getting dodgy decisions theyre referring an lbw
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:24 (seventeen years ago)
Will harper insist he got it right again?
Aaaah don't know wha's goin' off aaht there, I tells thee
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:24 (seventeen years ago)
Lets see which umpire is corrupt this time! ;)
this has to be not out
and is
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:25 (seventeen years ago)
thank fuck they have none left
i dont think the referrals system is going to be used in the ashes series. Bound to be a gentlemans agreement.
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:26 (seventeen years ago)
^^^yes please
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:27 (seventeen years ago)
(unless it's a VERY basic referral system, along the lines of "was it a stinker")
still doesnt work. cook was still given out
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:28 (seventeen years ago)
A stinker = "clearly, blatantly errant"
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:29 (seventeen years ago)
But the referrals arent the problem. It's the incompetent men in the middle and up in the chair.Take tv out of it and you still have 2 morons in the middle getting it wrong.
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:29 (seventeen years ago)
I wish we had fred. we'd be 2-1 up
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:34 (seventeen years ago)
Chanderpaul wouldnt say if he had hit it or not(ie didnt try to say he didn't hit it) then he said the WI team was happy with the referrals as they had the major benefit of it.
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:45 (seventeen years ago)
Still doesn't change the fact that Harper is an arse
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:53 (seventeen years ago)
Look, just be grateful Billy Bowden's in South Africa, will ya? :P
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:53 (seventeen years ago)
Just seen the cook decision again. There's daylight there, he does not touch it. How could Harper have still given it out? Unbelievable.
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:55 (seventeen years ago)
I hope KP scores quick as anything tomorrow. get 170 in double quicktime so that WI only have to go at 2 an over so they cant just block, and hope a couple of wkts fall early then they get nervy and wkts fall at regular intervals. Sadly on this pitch its morely likely gayle will knock it off doublequick and get a 10 wkt win.
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:57 (seventeen years ago)
England can quite easily get a 200 lead before lunch. Set 'em about 210 to win, watch the sparks fly.
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:58 (seventeen years ago)
That would take some bold captaincy, not hitherto a feature of the series - but what's the alternative, declare at tea and hope for a miracle?
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 9 March 2009 22:01 (seventeen years ago)
That isn't an alternative. England won't be considering anything other than declaring around lunch-time.
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 22:03 (seventeen years ago)
210 and the WI wouldnt bother their arse
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 22:03 (seventeen years ago)
If gayle got out they would just bat out the day
