1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[BSM]

oof

 

[morgieb]

Oh wow, that's horribly unlucky. It actually moved too!

 

[trundler]

That's clipped the stump, darn.

 

[Starfighter]

I think that is such an obvious case of letting the DRS doing the work from the umpire.

Yet Burns is still bloody in.

No luck going our way really.

 

[Spark]

oh hell yeah!!!! bump my thread baby bump it

these weren't zing bails though

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Could tell straight away as Root went to review instantly.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

That's almost a farce. (tee hee)

 

[Red]

If that had brushed his pad, could they review for lbw?

[Starfighter]

Could tell straight away as Root went to review instantly.

It sounded wrong really.

 

[ImpatientLime]

ah yes pattinson with the comedy check the bails act

 

[StephenZA]

If that had brushed his pad, could they review for lbw?

They would automatically check... during original DRS review.

 

[Spark]

It sounded wrong really.

Yeah, for some reason my immediate instinct was "that's hit the stump". It was a kind of weird, elongated noise.

 

[morgieb]

If that had brushed his pad, could they review for lbw?

Would be adjudged as outside the line though.

 

[Red]

Burns has the weirdest stance. So weird

 

[trundler]

That has to be it for these bails. IDC if it's confirmation bias now.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

It sounded wrong really.

Don't think anybody thought it hit the stump though. That was bizarre.

 

[Red]

Yeah, for some reason my immediate instinct was "that's hit the stump". It was a kind of weird, elongated noise.

I thought it was out so I guess I’m as good as an international umpire?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Burns has the weirdest stance. So weird

Makes Chanderpaul look good.

 

[Starfighter]

Don't think anybody thought it hit the stump though. That was bizarre.

I had a suspicion, but didn't want to write it because that would be presumptuous even for me.
