*Official* Second Test at Lord's

[Burgey]

England using their reviews poorly it's a waste of a review it's only for howlers etc etc

 

[BeeGee]

Hit pad first. Good start for the Aussies.

 

[Zinzan]

****ing useless ****s. I go to make ****ing breakfast and they lose 2 wickets in 8 balls on a bloody road.

Looks like more than useful bowling conditions for mine. There's a fair bit of swing.

 

[Crazy Sam]

Was not out imo...

 

[Howe_zat]

Wouldn't have liked to have made that call. Is there a rule for what happens when it's exactly bat and pad at the same time?

 

[Uppercut]

Pad first for me, but very hard to say either way.

Yeah it's a real 50-50. Root unlucky to be given by the umpire but can't overturn that.

Insane how many of these we're getting this series.

 

[Mike5181]

Yeah, fair decision. Hit the pad first.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Offside camera does look pad first, but my reaction elsewhere was bat first.

Whether there was enough evidence to overturn though...

Swann does the same one to left handers all the time. Marcus North would have been kicking his tv screen if that wasn't given out.

 

[Top_Cat]

Top Cat tasting.

Happy to taste Harris, tbh,

 

[Ruckus]

harris bowling beautifully. love this man

 

[Cabinet96]

Whether there was enough evidence to overturn though...

Yeah, I agree.

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, ever so marginally pad first. Great call by the umpire.

 

[Uppercut]

Wouldn't have liked to have made that call. Is there a rule for what happens when it's exactly bat and pad at the same time?

I don't know if that's physically possible but until DRS it was just a benefit-of-doubt to batsman thing.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Curious to see how Penisen goes. He's due-ish.

Edit: tasting

 

[Cricket Brain]

Even if it didn't hit pad before bat, it is definitely pad and bat at the same time. As umpire's call was out, it has to stay with the original decision. Not close to enough evidence to overturn it

 

[wpdavid]

This is why people like Flintoff and Botham have been such prize idiots banging on about 5-0. Anyone who's seen England play over the last 2 years knows the batting is a massive weakness whoever we're playing against. And has already been said, two down after half an hour on a complete road is a joke.

EDIT
Make that 3 down. Useless *****. We'll be lucky to make 150.

 

[ajdude]

yesssssss

 

[vic_orthdox]

Harris

 

[adub]

Off side hot spot clearly shows a spot on the pad well in front of the bat. Good call by the ump vindicated by the DRS.

And Harris is a GOD!

 

[stephen]

Woohoo!

Dominos!
