Jonny watch

3.5 Has Ishant tipped the ball in follow-through to run Bairstow out? Yeah, poor YJB. This was more unlucky though and he resigns with a smile while walking back. Was a slow ball into the pitch to which Prabhsimran charged and cuffed with a cross-ish bat. It poured along the pitch, Ishant went low to the right and got just a fingertip to it. Smart replays with multiple angles confirms and it and YJB, diving back, couldn't make it in time. 42/2


Un-Australian not to laugh at this

Chortled.

Out of his crease, but not attempting a run. It’s a recurring theme.

whacked two fours and then sent one up the chimney for virat and maxi to raffle off a catch

wasnt getting run out last night

I’m waiting for the inevitable ‘hit wicket’ dismissal

3rd ball duck vs Second

a number 11esque waft across the line to a ball that should have been played with a straight bat to mid off

ball hit the top of off

1.4 cleans him up!! Hard length, bowled at 141.1kph. Slants into off stump and Bairstow, trying to impose himself, swipes across the line in ungainly fashion. Only swats away a few flies and hears the death rattle soon after. The move to share the new ball has worked a charm for Cummins, and this is just what SRH would have wanted! 2/1

Watching this game (only thing on) in a pub in Newquay, Cornwall.

Laugh, nearly pissed myself.

If you have time pop into the Tate Annexe Gallery in St Ives. Magnificent building overlooking the sea with lots of art made by local legends, eg Barbara Hepworth

Enjoy your travelling Skully, am about to embark upon more of this myself, taking some LSL this term.

Couldn’t have happened to a better bloke. What a wanker. Hope he survives long enough to come to Oz in 24-25; he’ll get a massive Bronx cheer every time he brings out the drinks.

Virat copped a rough pineapple last night

A slower ball beamer that dropped late ....He fended it back to the bowler thinking it was above waist high

The DRS tracker had it dipping 12cm under at the popping crease (Players were measured pre IPL...apparently)

He was batting out of his crease and the ball was well above his waist when he played it

Under the letter of the law and the drs tracking he was out

Under the spirit of the law and the initial purpose he should (IMHO) have been not out


....

He had a fair crack at the umps on his way off the field ....be interested if they reported him
