*Official* Match 8 - Australia v New Zealand

[Nate]

The umpiring this tournament has been shocking. No way was that ever out. Can't remember when I've seen umpiring so terrible over an 8-10 game stretch.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Oh man, I just saw the Kiwi middle order's shots. Some awful awful stuff.

 

[Burgey]

Never looked out.

If you get out lbw as often as Watto does, you're bound to review more than most players.

 

[benchmark00]

Lack of speed gun annoying.

Back in the game.

Bennet looking surprisingly good here. Expected him to leak runs through leg, but they haven't quite got hold of him.

I do think the overall standard of umpiring has dropped in recent years. Certainly the current English umps aren't as good as the ones that were the top umps 10-15 years ago.

Would have reviewed that.

Edit: Oh, inside edge. Good decision not to.

 

[Prad100w]

Any idea why Jacob oram is not playing? injured?

It's got to be dead plumb to be worth reviewing. That's the kind which (ignoring the big inside edge) would've been shown to be clipping the top, not enough to overturn.

Come on it is Oram, 2 games in a week is far too much for his body.

Nah, he was finally caught breaking into the selector's office trying to sneak his name onto the team list.

 

[_Ed_]

Awesome fielding by NcCullum.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Fielding's in the Mccullum blood. Shocking over though.

 

[Prad100w]

lol. He is so fragile.

 

[Howsie]

Poor, poor, poor, poor over.

 

[Prince EWS]

Damnit; changed the channel just before a golden opportunity to see Lamish get smashed.

 

[Prad100w]

Thanks NZ Cricket team. I am done watching your match. You are Hopeless.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

See if switching over to Ireland/Bang makes something happen. Did the first time.

EDIT: Hah, made a wicket fall in their game anyway.
