Who was that custard arm fielder?

What's the margin of error for umpires tracking the ball live though? Because that's the only thing that matters here surely.

i think there are other, non-"raw percentage of correct decisions" factors involved in whether you should overrule the human umpire every single time. there has to be some level of continuity in the game between everything below test level and at test level.

Who is slower pujara ot ashwin

bowling ash bowling ash bowling ash yes ash yes ash bowling ash yes bowling ash yes ashhhh bowling ashhhhh

 

[Burgey]

TPC batting like a man who’s just signed a Swisse vitamins deal atm.

Aus need to have these two still there when they pass the deficit or they’re gone imho

 

[Daemon]

Who is slower pujara ot ashwin

Ashwin, but Pujara more likely to blow a kneecap while doing it

That was one of the saddest throws from the outfield Ive ever seen. A 7 year old girl would've been embarassed.

Ashwin would definitely accidentally sh*t himself while running full tilt after a ball.

They should be named and shamed.

Nothing makes me think lesser of cricket players more than hearing their braindead chatter behind the stumps. For some reason, you think that their chatter and sledges would be so much better than what you could come up with at the pub. But it’s so much worse. I guess it’s good they’re good at putting bat to ball because I wouldn’t trust them to replace a lightbulb.

Sangakarra a notable exception.

 

[Gob]

Nz ruined marto and later ruined TPC

And the commentators chime in with their great insight:

“If India could get another breakthrough here, like Smith or Wade.” Those are the only two options Jesus Christ why am I losing IQ points listening to this.

 

[Burgey]

At least Smith looking to score here. Huge difference esp with a lefty at the other end

Feed him Wade you frothing midget.

Yeah it’s genuinely noticeable that the chat gets worse the higher the grade you play. The stuff in the park is usually better than in higher grade cricket, which seems better than that at FC level (in Aus anyway).

Weirdly though, I don’t mind Wade chirping back at Pant here from an individual pov. Might keep him focused

Wade has said that verbal chat with the opposition helps fire him up as a batsman, right?
