1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[The Battlers Prince]

That lob just shows how nervous Moeen is over his position, how he’s bowling, have he knows he’s up against the wall, a deer in headlights

 

[TheJediBrah]

I know you can't get stumped on a no ball, but what separates a run out from a stumping there? If bairstow had whipped the bails off

It would have been a stumping. It's only a run out if your actively looking to run between the wickets.

moeen really not helping his team here. there's turn in this, i wouldn't be surprised if lyon tore through england.

Tio’s in Surry Hills. Can recommend. Went there after the flicks at the golden age. Was fun. Happy hour 5-6 - $5 tequila ****tails/ shots and chasers. Did them all. And got up and could walk, so there that for the miracle of the day

 

[TheJediBrah]

Haha I'm happy that bowlers who aren't chuckers but have a bit of a chucky delivery once every fifty balls are never called.

That may or may not to be to protect my record for Glenhaven. Shh.

No complaints here either, if they bowl like Moeen. Bring him on from both ends.

The act of taking a run, which he wasn't.

 

[Flem274*]

that's about ten metres down leg broad

 

[Starfighter]

It was close. I reckon that's closer.

Edit: Other way round idiot.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Stop hitting across the line ffs

 

[TheJediBrah]

Broad's angle way too big here. He's not getting an lbw on the legs like that

 

[TheJediBrah]

I really don't like the Broad v Head match up. Head is not going to come out on top.

True, but I'd liked to extend to right through to bowlers who averaged 8 in park cricket and got free coaching from John Davison out of it when he was a nobody. Please.

nah i was reviewing the 2nd too.

 

[mr_mister]

The act of taking a run, which he wasn't.

So if he dances down and smashes it to short leg who quickly chucks it back onto the stumps, despite never intending to run is that also run out

 

[Burgey]

**** they’ve kept Ali on. Thought he was only doing an end change for sure.

 

[TheJediBrah]

You averaged 8? Fair play

 

[the big bambino]

i'll admit i'm posting the truth as dickishly as possible, because i am a knob and the west islanders sometimes need a reality check (case in point - all the moaning about siddle being in the team because he's old and slow and then he goes and bowls respectably and arguably better than atg next malcolm marshall 160kph pattinson and cummins - thoroughly predictable outcome given you set yourselves up for it tbh), but that doesn't change the fact i am 100% right, as usual.

and before pattinson or cummins takes 5fer next dig, which they are quite capable of doing because they are world class, it doesn't validate the over the top whining. you'd think siddle averaged 50 with the ball going by all the punishing pre-game chat. hazlewood's form is muck and starc is a specialist 2nd new ball bowler to subcontinental scrubs, as you all complain in every match thread ever until a foreigner points it out. in england you don't need to bowl 140 clicks like you do in australia, siddle is a perfectly fine horse for the course.

Look. When you have Haze and Starc you don't pick Siddle. Ever. Except should Siddle take a bag in the 2nd innings then like a broken down watch you are coincidentally right.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Lyon is going to be a real handful tomorrow

 

[Lillian Thomson]

So if he dances down and smashes it to short leg who quickly chucks it back onto the stumps, despite never intending to run is that also run out

Yes. That's nothing to do with differentiating between a stumping and a run out by the keeper.

 

[Burgey]

Lyon is going to be a real handful tomorrow

Only if he’s not defending 80 odd, which could happen
