4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

[Burgey]

How good would the viewing be from that glass pedestrian bridge between those two stands in the background? It’s a quirky ground these days, OT. I used to hate the red LEGO block but actually quite like the varied stands round the ground now.

Real prima donna that kid. Also speaks volumes of Root as leader that a rookie in his third game has the nerve to express visible reluctance when told by his captain to come around the wicket.

This is going to be an up and down nightmare on day 5

 

[NUFAN]

Heh, considering what just happened, reminded me of this gem (by you yourself, as it turns out)

It was deliberate but I had forgotten that thread haha.

I don’t think Jofra exactly needs a crash course in self regard

 

[91Jmay]

Looked high

 

[Burgey]

Outside the line. Review it

Edit: or not

 

[Spark]

That I think is worth more of a review

 

[trundler]

That's just plumb

 

[Jarquis]

Bloody hate that.

Love the pair for Warner though.

At least he eventually turned around on this one...

 

[stephen]

Harris almost shouldn't be allowed to review. He'll get out soon enough even if it's overturned.

 

[Spark]

Outside the line. Review it

I thought this too but lol no

 

[Son Of Coco]

That's a good review. Best outcome for the batsman would have been umpire's call, so out anyway.

 

[Spark]

Yeah idk why I thought that was outside the line at first

 

[stephen]

That's just plumb

Nah. It's the kind of lbw that wouldn't have been given before drs but is given all the time now.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Broad to take out Smith early doors for a change

 

[trundler]

Looked like it would've been umpire's call.

Anyway, the 2 men are out there now and I'd love to see Smith go hard.

 

[trundler]

Nah. It's the kind of lbw that wouldn't have been given before drs but is given all the time now.

I thought the Leach lbw was plumb too. I expect precision.

 

[91Jmay]

Nah. It's the kind of lbw that wouldn't have been given before drs but is given all the time now.

Yep, been clear since DRS has come in how bad we've collectively judged height in the past.

 

[Spark]

wow this pitch is most definitely acting up
