Root, cook, Broady were not out just jimmy. Just seems daft to visit the most fashionable place in the city and start fucking about like that. I am sure it wasn’t malicious but just fucking stupid
Root, cook, Broady were not out just jimmy. Just seems daft to visit the most fashionable place in the city and start fucking about like that. I am sure it wasn’t malicious but just fucking stupidBut like last time we've managed to make a big issue out of nothing. Anderson said it was "not malicious" and a "bit of a non-event" yet Duckett has been kicked off the tour.
Why not just say its nothing, just a couple of players mucking about on a night off.
There seems to be a huge disconnect between the team & coaches and the ECB.
I was listening to a BBC podcast and somebody (ex player, may have been Mark Butcher)said something along the lines of that it wasn't a drink it was Ice cube/cubes. Maybe a cover up but certainly doesn't sound sinister as walking up to Anderson and tipping a pint over his head.
You can see nothing other than another wicket soon. We are really being pinned back and the bowling is really hostile.England are getting absolutely peppered here!
Stoneman is like a boxer on the ropes, dropped twice in as many overs and hammered on the side of the head by a sharp bouncer!
Roots wicket was soft a noting ball and caught down the leg side!
That's a terrible decision. It was given not out. Totally inconclusive on the replay, so has to remain not out surely?Stoneman bounced out given on review but it's hit his hand that's off the bat!? Wtf!!

Joe Root not at all happy!!
Yep, that's the other thing. That surely needed lots of replays over and over and his decision was far, far too quick.Why did the 3rd umpire rush through it! He just watched one replay of everything and went, yep that's out!
Joke of a decision!
Can umpires be demoted or taken out of their role for a while, as with football referees?Whole idea of the 3rd umpire is to stop poor decisions. Theyve made 2 howlers in this series already.

Yeah guess so. After Simon Tauffel finished he was the best umpire of the last decade Dar stepped in and was superb for a few years past year or so he's been poor, he's had a fair few this series when he was standing umpire over turned!
No excuses as a 3rd umpire to get it so som wrong!
It's ridiculous with all the technology at hand. The 3rd umpire was far too quick to reverse that and hardly took anytime at all to review it.It’s a shocker. Technically he was out but they certainly didn’t see that! Major assumptions made!

Yeah, Aussie TV station has a different angle showing it hit the gloved bat hand.Have they shown another angle where it does it the other glove?
I saw a couple of minutes after where they showed a couple of angles that still didn't show it hitting the front glove and hot spot which appeared to only show it hitting the back glove.

Still doesn't excuse shoddy 3rd umpiremanship
It was the slightly knick but DRS didn't pick this up, it was from Aussie TV and this is the issue. He made the decision on a whim rather than the data infront of him. If there was no technology you could say fair enough but if you are using the tech to ensure it is correct then you surely have to go by what it is telling you!?Fair play for getting it right, but there is no way like you say he could of from the original angle! Didn't even show on hotspot.
Malan playing very confidently at the moment, if anyone is getting a tonne it has to be him. I don't think he has one in international cricket does he?? Bairstow is steady at the moment, would be good if they can reach a 150+ partnership.Two things need to happen now for England. One batsman needs to get a century and England have to get to 330 minimum.
Now steadied the ship very well.
250/4. New ball will be interesting. Due in 6 overs
From 250/4 though you would think you need to be looking to 360 plus wouldn't you?
Was erring on the side of caution, but yeah, from here we should be able to get to 400.400+
This pair need to see us through to the close and see off the first 15 overs of the new ball tomorrow
