That was plumb. I can't understand why Dar didn't give it out straight away.

by Henry Thu 11 Jul 2013, 15:41

Ridiculous. There was a clear deflection.

by Neil D Thu 11 Jul 2013, 15:42

It's all going a bit Pete Tong.

That was weird. The hotspot pics showed nothing but the live one looked like a deflection.

Dar's reaction clearly showed he thought there was a deflection.

Starc on a hat trick after tea.

Twenty minutes of nerves for KP.

by JGK Thu 11 Jul 2013, 15:44

Nothing on sniko either.

So, Root opening, great success so far... he'll be back to Yorkshire before the summer's out, and wait about 4 years for another shot at it, rather than steadily building his reputation in the middle order.

England heads have gone completely, anyway. Wouldn't rule out this finishing tonight!

2 1/2 hours?

by Brass Monkey Thu 11 Jul 2013, 15:45

Yeah, I agree beamer. I can see us folding like the quivering wrecks we are. Good times.

by Neil D Thu 11 Jul 2013, 15:45

On the plus side, I've got Starc in my fantasy team so at least I'll have some points today.

Hang on, I've got Trott as well. Minus points for ducks. Bollocks.

I thought the third umpire couldn't overrule the on-field umpire unless there was compelling evidence.

It looked like an inside edge, the side on hotspot was unavailable due to a technical problem, therefore how can he overrule the decision?

by Henry Thu 11 Jul 2013, 15:47

Why didn't Erasmus do the sensible thing and trust A) The best umpire in the world, and B) His own eyes? Ridiculous.

by Hass Thu 11 Jul 2013, 15:48

There was no deflection.

Some of you are just easily tricked by camera angles. We see the bat partially block out the ball just as it makes impact with the pad. The ball looks like it's moving off its line (because its force is pushing into the pad) but it's already well past the bat.

I'm away on Sunday, was worried about misses the denouement.

Seems like I was being too optimistic.

How will KP play the hat-trick ball then? Switch hit, lbw hitting middle half way up probably.

by Neil D Thu 11 Jul 2013, 15:49

Lets not sook about umpiring decisions, it's done and dusted now.

Set up nicely for a counter-attacking KP hundred.

Oooh. Speak for yourself, sailor.

Completely compos mentis, me.

Wubble.

Feet all over the place, and that trademark "Ooorrrr" when he's completely flummoxed by a delivery. 11-3.

by beamer Thu 11 Jul 2013, 15:50

If we lose this I think we should follow the Aussies' example and sack the coach before the next one. And not to replace him with Ashley Giles...

Never fear - I Ronald's here. To lead the fightback. By chipping one neatly into the bowler's hands, at nice catching height. 11-4.

You have just identified the flaw in your own line of argument.

Pilo will be licking his lips.

Relishing the chance, earlier than expected, to mastermind the last steps over the cliff.

by beamer Thu 11 Jul 2013, 15:54

4 in 4, Aussies going Napeshit.

Oh, it hasn't actually happened yet?

At least you me and Monkey (sounds like a film) can have a bit of an I told you so about how sh*t England are if they lose.
