I thought you were talking about Skully, Taipan's, and Woody's argument until I read the Fox bit.....

It's not an argument. Woody is wrong. Cool

skully wrote:Here's the full rule.

1. Out LBW
The striker is out LBW in the circumstances set out below.
(a) The bowler delivers a ball, not being a No ball
and (b) the ball, if it is not intercepted full pitch, pitches in line between wicket and wicket or on the off side of the striker’s wicket
and (c) the ball not having previously touched his bat, the striker intercepts the ball, either full pitch or after pitching, with any part of his person
and (d) the point of impact, even if above the level of the bails,
either (i) is between wicket and wicket
or (ii) if the striker has made no genuine attempt to play the ball with his bat, is either between wicket and wicket or outside the line of the off stump.
and (e) but for the interception, the ball would have hit the wicket.

2. Interception of the ball
(a) In assessing points (c), (d) and (e) in 1 above, only the first interception is to be considered.
(b) In assessing point (e) in 1 above, it is to be assumed that the path of the ball before interception would have continued after interception, irrespective of whether the ball might have pitched subsequently or not.

Part (b) of Clause 1 renders Clause 2 moot in the case we are "discussing". Cool

I am doubting my stance now but what skully said is bollocks

That point just refers to the can't pitch outside leg thingy

Fark, patting him on the head. I'm going to kick him in the nuts if this continues.

Trott's highest overseas score outside Australia beating his 74 at Abu Dhabi against the Paksters.

Didn't he score some tons in England?

"Overseas" is defined by his team not his birthplace.

Highest England 5th wicket stand at Galle beating Hick & Stewart's 22 in February 2001.

by Paul Keating Thu 29 Mar 2012, 09:06

In the bag from here for Ingerland.

by Allan D Thu 29 Mar 2012, 09:16

Not yet - another 50 from this pair needed.

by Allan D Thu 29 Mar 2012, 09:21

Prior lets cat (and game) out of the bag. mybad

by skully Thu 29 Mar 2012, 09:36

Pretty fine effort by England so far. Excellent ton by Trott. Could this be a famous victory??

by DJ_Smerk Thu 29 Mar 2012, 09:46

This will be a really tense finish. How's Patel doing? Seems to be cock-blocking the ball away.

by DJ_Smerk Thu 29 Mar 2012, 09:50

God dammit. Patel gone.

by skully Thu 29 Mar 2012, 09:59

Massive wicket!! Randiv gets Trott!!

by DJ_Smerk Thu 29 Mar 2012, 09:59

Trott fails to carry England into Tea.

Swann will have to bash out some boundaries now. The grinders have left the building.

by skully Thu 29 Mar 2012, 09:59

Can the Broadaxe and the Duckling swing lustily to get Engulund home here?

by beamer Thu 29 Mar 2012, 10:02

Think they have to "give it some humpty" as Botham famously said, and leave the last two no more than 20 to get.

Every chance it will be over in half an hour now though.

by skully Thu 29 Mar 2012, 10:10

Sammy Straightbreak gets an impatient Swann. I haven't seen a bloke spin the ball less than Herath since KOK.

by Henry Thu 29 Mar 2012, 10:10

We're f*cked now. And i'm angry because when Trott and Prior were batting together, we were pissing it in. C*nts.

Sack everyone.

by Brass Monkey Thu 29 Mar 2012, 10:12

Patel's shit. Don't know what I was thinking. Foc him off.

Shame, but we've got moral victories flying everywhere like moral f*ckers.

by Henry Thu 29 Mar 2012, 10:18

Moral victories? F*ck off. We've got four test losses in a row, that's what we've got. It's embarrassing for England to be referred to as the World's best test team. Really embarrassing.
