Would have said that even if it was Curtly Ambrose. Though yes now that you mention it, I dont think he deserved that wicket. Sidescreen and him are about level in terms of wickets taken today.TEC just doesn't like Finn taking wickets. They boost the average of a bowler he doesn't remotely rate.
Yep enforce it. You play test cricket to win test matches, worry about the form of your batsman later.
So if a batsman didn't pick up a delivery, it hits his bat and loops back to the bowler for an easy catch he shouldn't appeal that either?
Not any more. Akmal gone. Didn't see Finn's first spell, but this 2nd one has been impressive. Well bowled lad.
No, not really they're likely to fail anyway, and even if they do get some runs it's months before the next test match, which'll be in totally different conditions anyway.
Fairly silly argument your making here. Yes it's raw luck but it's an absolutely legitimate ball and hence an absolutely fair wicket.
Yeah, agree. Mainly said it because my mate before was saying he wouldn't choose to enforce it.
74/9. This is going alright.
Disheartening? I couldn't be happier.
Yes from the neutral's POV it is certainly England who need this win more.
If running someone out when he steps out of the crease during your delivery stride is considered 'against the spirit of the game' (as KApil Dev did with Peter Kirsten in 93/94) one would think that this would be too no?
74 all out. Another one for Swanneh. Finishes with a 4fer. What a bowler.
