*Official* West Indies Tour of England 2020

[Arachnodouche]

There couldn't be a stronger case for neutral umpires. Literally the most biased umpiring I've ever seen outside of Pakistan.

Bias is too strong a word imo. You simply don't get away with that sort of thing in this day and age.

Now that's plumb.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah... he may have gone by the two noises thing...

 

[honestbharani]

I don't think any of these decisions except maybe the Burns decision was terrible -- although you would expect the Archer one to be given most times -- but it is weird.

Yeah, to me the weird part is they seem to be going with the direction of England when in doubt. I feel they should have been consistent in favoring the batting side when in doubt. That just makes the game simpler, even if they make mistakes.

 

[honestbharani]

Hope at 3 is a good call.

 

[wpdavid]

We needed that one, and let's see if we can follow it up. But surely Anderson's spell is almost over.

 

[honestbharani]

Anderson showing why he is that good once again. I can see many bowlers who would have given up after those early close calls. He kept at it. HIs mental strength and discipline as a bowler are amazing and makes him stand out from the others.

I mean the sample size here is tiny.

95mph from Wood apparently

 

[Magrat Garlick]

put the kettle on kettleborough he's finished

 

[honestbharani]

I mean the sample size here is tiny.

Yeah and I am not even saying they are biased. Its just that they end up going with the decision that benefits England each time. That is all. I mean, its not one of the 5, but the first over leave of Burns off Roach was more out than either of the Anderson overturned ones.

 

[trundler]

Wood is faster than Archer. Gabriel too

 

[Lillian Thomson]

It’s possible that the umpires were influenced into thinking those LBW’s were hitting by the ones they didn’t give earlier. Any claims of bias is nonsense, there’s just no point.

 

[Bijed]

If accusations of bias start flying around he could certainly find himself in hot water

 

[Pothas]

Good feeling about Stokes here

 

[Uppercut]

Kinda lucky the decisions were as bad as they were, imagine if they gave England 5 straight umpire’s calls.

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Wood is faster than Archer. Gabriel too

Just needs to get some sideways movement now

 

[trundler]

Holder may need to blow off some steam

 

[trundler]

Must say it is pleasing to see Jimmy in the wickets column

 

[Magrat Garlick]

hanging out in howezers discord if anyone wants to watch ftr
