*Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

[Coronis]

Yeahhhhhhhhh!

 

[NUFAN]

TNF getting decent coverage just there.

 

[weeman27bob]

Pffft. Out by a country mile.

 

[Furball]

This is out.

And IMO the batsman should lose the benefit of the doubt once he leaves the crease.

Bull**** call, his foot was in the air.

 

[Burgey]

Agar to go on and make 8.

 

[Bahnz]

Cowardly umpiring.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

right decision

 

[Uppercut]

Wrong call for mine. No real doubt there.

 

[Maximas]

benefit of the doubt
England 2
Aus 1

Stop complaining ****s

 

[Tangles]

Double figures

 

[Pothas]

Yeah, compare that one to Bell against India.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

This is out.

Why does he lose the botd?

 

[Coronis]

Nice shot. His foot was not in the air, it remained in contact with the pitch.

 

[Furball]

Seriously that's absolute rubbish.

Batsman's left his crease; no clear evidence he's got back in, should be out.

 

[Dan]

This is out.

Bull**** call, his foot was in the air.

Why? Genuinely curious.

EDIT: Just saw your most recent post, I understand.

 

[adub]

Of course it was the right call. Black sole and toe of his boot is hard to see in the shadow, but no way you can say there was nothing behind the line.

 

[Flem274*]

finn for a cheapy

 

[Spikey]

Wrong call for mine. No real doubt there.

yeah that's the thing. there's no doubt whatsoever for me that the foot wasn't behind the line when the bails went off. this isn't a case of having to figure out whether the foot is in the air or not

 

[Furball]

Why does he lose the botd?

Because once he leaves his crease then he should be presumed out unless there's clear evidence he's got back.

 

[King Pietersen]

Here come some more banged in half way down pies from Finn.
