Moomintroll Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 YJB at it again, has there ever been a Test Team where the 4,5,6 have been so much better than the Top order? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When India had Tendulkar, Ganguly and Laxman? OK you had Dravid at 3 but I’m struggling to think of many decent openers they had in that period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, but as you already said they had The Wall at 3 so they had a better opener than their openers coming in first drop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moomintroll Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Fair play to Virat Kohli as well, I am one of his biggest critics but he applauded the Century unlike most of his team mates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Back Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Potts is seething. Don’t blame him. There’s no way he’s caught that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clockwork Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Inconclusive on the Shreyas catch to dismiss Potts, the ball seem to ‘pop’ for me, as the fielder fumbled an attempt to scoop it up, suggesting that it hit the ground first, Shreyas then snatching it with a second bite. Not suggesting that it was a deliberate attempt to claim the catch when the fielder knew the ball had been grounded, but the benefit of doubt has to go to the batsmen surely? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third umpire has to give the benefit of doubt to the soft signal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The on-field Umpire was in doubt judging by the time he took to indicate his ‘soft signal’ and also clearly consulted his colleague at Square Leg. Should have called ‘not out’ then referred upstairs. The third Umpire would also have declared uncertain, and upheld the decision. Fair call. Not that it’s going to make much difference in the grand scheme of things in this game! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umpire should be 100% certain to give a soft signal of out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 England need 378 to win, it can be done but won't be easy. Need the top 3 batsmen to contribute something as there looks to be plenty in the pitch. 281 is the previous highest successful chase at Edgbaston. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 And England in a bit of trouble now, losing 3 wickets for 2 runs, with Lees and Root causing Lees to be run out after Pope had gone first ball after tea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
