die hard doonhamer Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 The Starc “catch” was about as clearly grassed as you’ll see. It really wasn’t a controversial call. The one Smith took the other day was clearly grassed as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Sri Lanka absolutely battering Zimbabwe could be useful from a NRR point of view. If we can beat Zimbabwe we might be able to afford a defeat to the Netherlands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 21 hours ago, Fuctifano said: Given the NRR situation we could do with Sri Lanka beating Zimbabwe tomorrow. We absolutely have to beat Zimbabwe in the last game but if SL win tomorrow we might be able to get away with a loss to Netherlands depending on run rate and their result vs Oman. If Zimbabwe win it opens up the scenario where we win both games but go out on net run rate. Was actually shouting in the last few overs for them to finish it off quickly but presume Munsey getting out spooked them a bit in case there was a total collapse. I assumed we were playing Netherlands next but it's Zimbabwe. As said, SL are giving them a bit of a doing at the moment so if they don't collapse or slow down then that can only help us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Sky commentators striking a very different tone to TMS here. A lot of last night's "rules are rules" comments suddenly dating themselves very quickly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I feel like they should be giving a warning if they're going to attempt a run out for that. Poor from the Aussies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Bridge Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 As a keeper, Bairstow should know better. I did that to the Stirling captain a few years ago and he squared up to me. He started gardening as the ball was still on the way to me from a feilder's throw. That guy was a w**k. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a dead ball though. 20.1.2 The ball shall be considered to be dead when it is clear to the bowler’s end umpire that the fielding side and both batters at the wicket have ceased to regard it as in play. Carey threw the ball at the stumps almost as soon as he had it in his hands, so he certainly didn't seem to have ceased to regard it as in play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, however, clear that the batsmen did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
