I remember he got 50 odd batting at 11. He's no fucken Chris Martin that's for sure.

I suspect he might be the best current international no. 11.

I take it the batsman doesn't get the benefit of the doubt anymore?

Holy moley, another crappy DRS.

Dhoni lightning hands. But bugger me that's a tough decision to be gien out on

Damo

Woah. Steady on.

I think there was something behind the line there.

Not against India

Ooh. The offside view looked borderline out. Thought the leg side view looked in.

No Quarter

Yup, surprised he gave that. Lucky break for India.

Hopefully Munro has played some hockey too.

Fucken useless umpire can't even see a foot on the ground! Might as well just put a camera there
Wiilamson appeal

No Quarter

Munro is batting for his life.

Bones

@Siam huh? Don't think the 3rd ump was because of Williamson appeal was it?

Also, why the hell is it now out when the bails light up? The rule says 'dislodged' -- it used to be that both ends had to lift before you were 'out' ... has somethign changed?

I feel like a bloody grumpy old man tonight (edit: but it becomes important with such fine margins)

Bones

@nzzp I thought someone said on here a wee while ago that the lights only come on if both ends of a bail are off?

Yeah, that was me. This article appears to confirm it:

"The bails are powered by hidden low voltage batteries. They each contain a microprocessor that detects when contact between the bails and the stumps has been broken. The bails are illuminated within 1/1000th of a second. "They can be vibrated, knocked, rained upon, but will only flash when both ends are completely dislodged from the stumps,"

Fucken hell how wide was that?

Siam

@Bones there was a totally unnecessary tv referral for an attempted stumping on Williamson

It was no more than a standard club game decision, but upstairs he goes, displaying complete incompetence

No Quarter

5 overs to go. Recalling the last game through a drunken haze this is where we lost it, really important we finish strong.

Can anyone explain why Seddon Park is so small when it's a dedicated cricket ground?

It's annoying we have small dual purpose grounds but why on Earth is Seddon Park so small?
