Okay declaration talk with four wickets in hand is dumb.

Okay declaration talk with four wickets in hand is dumb.

Not to mention there's only 10 overs left in the days play.

 

[TheJediBrah]

I don't think it's the lights, I think it's the new ball. It seems to do things regardless of the time of day. Arguably Khawaja and Renshaw seeing off the majority of the early overs is why we're ahead. We only lost 2 while they lost 4.

The lights make it a lot harder to see. And seem like it's doing more.

missing

hitting

 

[Starfighter]

That's why you don't put the tail enders on strike you tools.

 

[hazsa19]

Pitched outside leg surely

 

[Spark]

Well if that hasn't pitched outside that's out.

 

[TheJediBrah]

umpires call on pitch

 

[Spark]

umpires call on pitch

No such thing

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Starc is so pony at batting these days.

 

[morgieb]

Wow that's a bit of an unlucky overturn. Was only barely pitching outside leg.

 

[mackembhoy]

Ehhh how's that not umpires call?

 

[StephenZA]

Close... but ok.

 

[Spark]

Starc is so pony at batting these days.

He just stands there and randomly waves the bat at the line of the ball, basically

 

[Blocky]

Won't be long for Starc though - anything on his pads and he's mud.

 

[TheJediBrah]

No such thing

just realised how stupid that was

You don't need the umpire to predict where it pitched

 

[morgieb]

Ehhh how's that not umpires call?

Doesn't exist on where it pitched. Which is odd given that umpires call exists on impact....

 

[Spark]

Ehhh how's that not umpires call?

Again, there is no such thing as umpire's call on where it pitched, presumably because that's something you can tell with 100% confidence.

 

[Spark]

just realised how stupid that was

You don't need the umpire to predict where it pitched

Right yeah and there's no bloke in a room picking a point of impact between frames too. You just work out where it pitched.

 

[mackembhoy]

Oh are we playing with 50 percent rather than 25 percent in this series too.

So it's not just the BCCI that are ****wits.
