people have their fingure on the trigger on the 10th wicket , but forget about over excitement / reviews etc

Good bye Plunket, that is you done. Go back to Yorkshire.
Bring in Finn now ffs! |
|
By:
i put in 3k @ 1.1 to match it and the countdown started , but they must have cancelled
 |
|
By:
great test match, i do love test cricket , and thats why
|
|
By:
oh man, what a win, even managed to cook and eat dinner with a glass or two of wine!
I love this game! |
|
By:
shudda put it in earlier, anticipating someone trying to hoover up
|

By:
i used to do that on the nfl.
often a field goal would be kicked last seconds, players celebrating and someone slamming in a fortune at 1.01. then turns out the other team called a timeout before he kicked it! |
|
By:
didn't even think of that Bob
I need some devious lessons! |

im usually miles behind now cos i only have sky on my laptop, but if youre watching it near enough live it can work a treat putting in a lay in these situations.

By:
yes bob , always worth knowing the rules , snipers get punished so often , u only need one to go ur way and ur laughing , i mean 3k @ 1.1 , thats crazy

By:
Cook's poor captaincy cost the match - clear as day. He should step down now - no excusues.
|
|
By:
two umpiring decisions in final over, both wrong
|
|
By:
you often need the 2nd new ball to bowl a team out , so i think cook was right in declaring overnight , 90 overs still not enough though , needed 91
 |
|
By:
Thats harsh Card even if true,
I think he has bigger problems with his batting and moving his front foot! |
|
By:
would have been far more than 90 overs if the umpire had got the 9th wicket decision right
|
|
By:
herath shouldnt have walked though jud , so theres just as much blame on him as there is the ump
|
|
By:
Joe Root man of the match? wtf!
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
he wouldn't have walked if the ump got the decision right
it was like he was trying to get England the win, seeing he missed a big inside edge too in the same over and gave lbw |
|
By:
umps make mistakes , thats why we have the review system , i bet herath will stay in the middle from now on until they drag him off, every time the umps fingure goes up

By:
2 blatant mistakes in the same over when the home team needs two wickets to win? pffffft
very very very fishy and fcuking outright wrong |
|
By:
the ludicrous decision by steve davis not to give the prior catch out cost england badly. probably cost them 20 or 30 overs
|

Highlights on Channel 5 now for those who missed it.

I don't understand why on the 5th day you carry on past 6.30pm to ensure 90 overs get bowled, but in days 1-4, 6.30pm is the cut off point and those overs not bowled are lost??? May as well play until 7pm to get the overs in if the light is fine!
and don't hear fines being dished out for slow over rate too often, but surely this should be clamped down on more heavily... Think it was 17 overs that weren't bowled over days 1-4, which could say ultimately cost England from winning the test! |
