Anglo-Saxon guilt at play - Eng only won the World Cup by some flukey jamminess, so it feels undeserved.

By:
5-0 Aus must be around 25s, some forumites going to be very rich by the end of this series!!

and yeah tbf I can
Really you didn't have a clue about the last dismissal. Everyone is an expert in the comfort of their armchair. Yes the Umpires have got some decisions wrong but many of them were very close and could have been called either way. Just because they got the decision wrong after slow motion tv replays does not mean they were poor decisions. But yes these two Umpires are not good enough at the moment but it does not mean you can do better. |

were Oz trying to save the game do you think Eng would have them at 106-7?

you are talking out of your fkin arse WD

By:
nobody in their right mind can say conclusively that ball hit bairstow's glove
it hit him on his wrist may have brushed the top of the glove, may not have umpire was guessing and you are talking bollox, again |

but you could tell it was definately not out and hit his arm or shoulder?
|
|
By:
it was definitely not out because you couldn't conclusively say it was out
that's how cricket works you need to educate yourself about the game before spouting crap on here |

probably johnny it looks a very difficult day 5 pitch to bat on
variable bounce and spinning |

he was given out on the field. The 3rd umpires job was not to decide whether it hit him but to show conclusive evidence that it DIDN't hit him. Its another story that he did a poor job at that too, as I think he should have used hawkeye. |

the c*nt needs to pull his socks up not his gloves
|

By:
There's been plenty of decisions that the umps got wrong that you can forgive them for because they looked out.
The problem is there's been far too many decisions given that were just completely 100% wrong |
|
By:
a pity England didnt have Archer and or Rashid to bowl at the tail on day 1
|
|
By:
wasn't really referring to the 3rd ump det
they have certain protocol to follow everybody knows where they stand with the "conclusive evidence to overturn" review process |
|
By:
|
|
By:
so by agreeing that nobody could say conclusively if it hit his armband or not, you are agreeing that the 3rd umpire was right in going with the on field decision?

Tom,
All I am saying is that football fans who don't even know the rules of football have a go at the referees every Saturday. I think in cricket by and large we have pretty good umpires. Sometimes they make mistakes. They are only human. Hysterical berating of them is not good and quite often the ones shouting the loudest have little knowledge of cricket or Umpiring or the Laws of cricket. People like that would be better served watching Association Football! |

By:
howe ever much he's guessing is in a different league to the Eng batters' guessing
|
|
By:
det
1 of the bizarre nuances of cricket that in this case the 3rd ump was 100% correct to uphold the incorrect on field call |
|
By:
i reckon the umpires have started to give things out knowing that a team has reviews left
not convinced Bairstow would have been given out pre reviews |

some real heated debate going on today on the forum!!
|
|
By:
because you can't be sure its hit his glove
|

By:
it was definitely not out because you couldn't conclusively say it was out
that's how cricket works you need to educate yourself about the game before spouting crap on here Come on Einstein. How does an Umpire give a decision when he couldn't conclusively say it was out. He gave him out conclusively! Out is Out! Concluded! |
|
By:
if its hit it, its brushed the top of the glove
equally may not have bairstow reviewed suggesting it missed his glove |
|
By:
What gets me is the umps always seem to get it wrong in a way that favours the team already on top.
If their brief was "if in doubt, err on the side of creating a more competitive game" we would have much less to complain about. |
|
By:
The standard of umpiring is pretty good generally which is why these 2 have caused so much forum rage!!
On that we agree! |
|
By:
nobody on here is regularly berating umpires or berating the general standard of umpiring
|
|
By:
bairstow reviewed suggesting it missed his glove
And still the third Umpire did not over turn it! Now you are getting angry at the Umpire for giving the correct decision! |
