because it's not completely different logic? In both cases the batsman is trying to use their body to defend the stumps. Umpires hate that **** because it makes their job hard.

but that's not why umpires hate batsmen padding up in particular to the extent that even marginal lbws are fired

My favourite part, the losing supporter crowd shots.

Not in the Smith example ffs.

 

[Spikey]

I want to know if Spikey put money on Watson top scoring.

i dont gamble, and tbf, i didn't explicitly say watson would top score, just that smith would probably get out before Watson

don't boo him you ****s

You are drunk. It's wanker or old person. No and/or either. Old people just being old. Calling an old person a wanker is just disrespectful.

well said Dundalis

I don't think Wahab understands how sledging works

The batsman is using his bat to defend the stumps. Oh poor umpires, if it pitches in line and hitting, give him out.

he's not doing it with the intention of his legs blocking the stumps in case he misses the ball though, he's doing it because he wants people to bowl to his strengths.

Yeah but he's intentionally moving into that position, which leaves him cleanly in front of the stumps. Ergo, he's intentionally moving in front of the stumps, which blocks the bowler's target, a strategy which isn't going to be view favourably by umpires.

I'm pretty sure Wahab wanted to know how Watson's mum was doing.

Thanks Dundalis, good posting.

"Wait until you play in Pakist-... oh".

 

[Gnske]

Just desserts for trying to pick on the little guy.

you say this like there's an actual intelligent strategy to it

 

[Son Of Coco]

Because you're intentionally putting your body between the ball and the stumps.

When you take a stride forward to drive through the off you're intentionally putting your body between the ball and the stumps.

 

[Zinzan]

That was a fair shot.

35k for a qf is pretty mediocre btw

and if he hits the ball with his bat, he won't be given out! What a miracle!
