England 30-3 at close all out 90
What you think dar is gonna give?
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 19:58 (fifteen years ago) link
there has to be conclusive evidence the original decision is wrong. But he got it wrong last time with zero evidence. So who knows what he will give.
ahh its out.Now for the england collapse to look forward to ;)

moral victory claims lj

we should throw the bat about, if we lose 2 wickets then they need to reign it in and be more controlled. But with shah as likely to get out normal test cricket wise he may as well be told to play like a 20/20. Cook can stay firm at the other end while strauss and then shah go for it. If we only lose 1 wkt tonight KP can have a real slog tomorrow
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:04 (fifteen years ago) link
Open with Shah and KP :D

naw dont want kp ran out...
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:15 (fifteen years ago) link
i think strauss and cook will see off the swinging ball that you get with the new ball. 5 overs or so then crack on. And hopefully put away the bad ball if you get one. Strauss and KP are the main guys though. They both have to score big and quickly. Lose 1 or both and england wont get a good enough score quickly enough.

at the moment its not even about hitting sixes. If you can get some quick singles or run 3 instead of 2 etc and get a boundary every over the score could mount up to allow later batsmen to hit sixes every ball if they wish

wi referring a not out for catch behind
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:27 (fifteen years ago) link
i assume this cant be given out but who knows what dar decides.
he doesnt hear the noise btw
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:28 (fifteen years ago) link
he has to have conclusive evidence to overturn it
(he def hit it btw)
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:29 (fifteen years ago) link
but i still dont think you can overturn it with tv pictures. as the law is supposed to be
and not out
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:30 (fifteen years ago) link
dar could hear the noise but couldnt see a deflection. *sigh* they need hotspot.
also Strauss isn't a walker. Do you think that's cheating if you don't walk?
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:32 (fifteen years ago) link
Not walking is dubious but it isn't cheating IMO
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:32 (fifteen years ago) link
alec stewart at tea said umpires can only give out with their eyes, not a noise. So i wonder what he will say at the close of play. Because there was a huge noise. If he had been given out I dont think strauss woulda referred it.
So at least both sides are suffering from shit umpiring. Hopefully these 2 will never umpire test matches again

I have "not walked" in a club game. In fairness it was my first ball and the edge was down the leg-side so it felt a bit unfair. When I got a huge snick on it 5 runs later trying to mash it out of the park, and the keeper pulled off probably the best glovesman's catch I've ever seen at that level (top-right corner, flying through air etc), the bowler turned round and asked the umpire bitterly "how was THAT"...'twas all very droll.
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:34 (fifteen years ago) link
I knew you wouldnt walk
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:37 (fifteen years ago) link
strauss gone
― Jarlrmai, Monday, 9 March 2009 20:37 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
Shah was lucky there
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:41 (fifteen years ago) link
Shah out
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 20:42 (fifteen years ago) link
(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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
given out
― Pfunkboy in blood drenched rabbit suit jamming in the woods (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:21 (fifteen years ago) link
now we might score some quick runs!!
― they probably drink corporate water (country matters), Monday, 9 March 2009 21:21 (fifteen years ago) link
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 (fifteen years ago) link
Still a little peeved about that Chanderpaul decision tbh.
