*Official* 2nd Test at Lord's

[OverratedSanity]

Why is it "unfortunate" if you yourself believe the catch wasn't clean? So dumb.

 

[Johnners]

The way Buttler's hanging his bat out there he'll give up another chance soon enough.

 

[Spikey]

funnily enough, it needed a classic rad haddin dive

 

[social]

Sorry but that is absolute rubbish

Clearly straight into the fingers but as he was going across and down, part of the ball touched the ground after he had it under control

Nonsense

Nonsense

Read the rules, ball cannot touch ground at any point. Fingers under ball is a myth which needs to die.

 

[social]

Get your arse to Specsavers.

Brilliant catch

Any other decision is PR crap

Did the ball bounce before the glove?

No

Did he drop it?

No

Where is the problem?

Nonsense

Ball touched ground. End of story. You're not allowed to grass it. Saying he's "in control" mid-dive is laughable.

 

[91Jmay]

Ball also bounced out of his glove before settling back in so he literally cannot have been in control.

Grasping at straws

Great catch, dodgy decision

 

[Flem274*]

as soon as it got nah'd by the ump i knew social would get grumpy

No

No

The fact the ball was grassed is the reason. Still you sit there in your own bubble as usual and moan for the next few hours about something nobody else agrees with.

 

[Gnske]

Root would have caught that

What the **** were you watching?

Clean as a whistle

 

[duffer]

Now that's a drop.

 

[fredfertang]

Reassuring to know Smith can make mistakes

 

[OverratedSanity]

Lol no spidercam to blame here. What a spud.

 

[Tangles]

Aw ffs

 

[Johnners]

tpc ffs

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That was a catch, he had it then grassed it but he had it in his hand so it counts.

Well Social will say so anyway.

 

[91Jmay]

Great catch from Smith. Umpires PR decision rule it out again
