Moomintroll Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 28 minutes ago, Mark Connolly said: Since they keep going on about the World Test Championship, given the Final seems to be a one-off Test, what happens if it's a draw? If it is a draw or tie, the Championship will be shared. Put your money on it being a particularly rainy week as that will be a suitable ending to the adhoc shambles it has always been. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomintroll Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Really needed that wicket there, magnificent innings from Rohit Sharma. Might be chance of getting a couple of cheap wickets with the new ball due in 7 overs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyBear Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 What was going on there. Obviously hit his glove but 3rd umpire didnt look at it at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Having a home umpire working well, didn't even look at the thing England wanted to look at, and it should have been out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Orton Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I'm not sure what is worse, the dreadful Indian commentary or the awful umpiring team. Surprised they didn't give kohli not out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Third umpire to come in and somehow give that "not out" now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s pretty disgraceful umpiring. He should be out, and the umpires surely know it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 At least he didn't add to the score. Get pant and india likely to go cheaply 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Is it Butcher that's on commentary at the moment? The Indian lads seem as desperate to misunderstand him as the 3rd Umpire does to misunderstand Root. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomintroll Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 The Board of Cricket Control in the International Cricket Council will see no issue with it. World cricket outdoes even the arse cheeks control of the SFA & SPFL in their craven submission to whatever India wants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having the incompetence argument at all, it is cheating on a level alongside Fred Goodall or Shakoor Rana, it should not be happening in this day and age but will be swept under the carpet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 That's a shocker for the third ump. Pant is the textbook definition of 'good for the game'. You know he'll hole out eventually, question is whether he's got ten, or one hundred and ten. I think 350/400 might be a good 1st innings score if the pitch keeps grenading like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomintroll Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Bit of a guilty conscience with that original decision there, rightly overturned. Would think the time is right to give Ben Stokes a couple of overs with the new ball as he always seems to do something to affect the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Also, what's the point in having biosecure bubbles if you then have the crowd throwing the ball back? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 "Third umpire to director- onfield decision is out, any chance you can show literally anything we can use to overturn it?"* *Rugby thread regulars will notice this is a variation on my "Is there any reason to give a penalty against Glasgow?" joke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
