lol **** umpire's call. if it's hitting the stumps it's hitting the stumps


yes i know i'm not the first person to say this

Massive wicket. Not a bad score but should have got past 300. Kind of fancy Warne's suggestion now.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Now Jimmy and Finn should throw the bat here, 3-4 overs at them tonight might see a wicket.

 

[Furball]

biggest devil's advocate lol not even worth discussing it

I wouldn't do it but I don't think it's a terrible idea.

Might end up being a moot point if Jimmeh goes quickly.

I somehow recall the same thing happening in FC cricket in West Indies or something but it backfired

Wait it wasn't an FC game, it was a Test match.

Australia nearly lost too, that would've been funny

Trust it to be Michael "I'll declare on 299 not out if it's in the best interests of the team" Clarke

Was it last year in Sheffield Shield, maybe the year before. There was a declaration when still trailing second innings of the match because the bowling conditions were so good? I'm sure the deficit was still 50-100 or something. Skittled the opposition out sharpish and won the match.

Could be misremembering details.

5th Match: Tasmania v Queensland at Hobart, Nov 6-9, 2015 | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo

There it is. Deficit of 109.

I'd be very interested in seeing data on this because unless England declare now I don't see the point im bowling tbh. Jimmeh always seems to need a couple of overs to settle into a rhythm, could easily see Pakistan being 8/0 at close.

 

[Furball]

Haha remember when Jimmeh used to be a dour, defensive tail-ender?

As opposed to Steve "I'll declare when Voges is approaching 300 because it's funny" Smith.

He wants a bowl.

Alright Peter Moores

 

[Daemon]

that's two class shots from Finn now

 

[Pothas]

This is way more fun than England bowling.

 

[Furball]

This actually reminds me of KP.

 

[MW1304]

Inch us to 300 you buggers.

Edit: ****.

 

[Furball]

He's reviewed this because you might as well.

 

[Furball]

Umpire's call

 

[grecian]

Ah well, we'll see if that's a good score by about this time tomorrow, undecided myself.

 

[Daemon]

How was that umpires call for hitting the wicket? It was hitting dead centre
