put a couple of decades in him, allow the game to move on, he'll get there

"he was good when he started" will be said for decades to come

bro . . . again, that wasn't the issue. That the umpire decided the stumps were broken was not in question, the question was why he decided that without checking diligently at all and hence that's what the rant was about.

I get that you don't like the style of the commentary, which personally I find strange but that's your opinion. It wasn't bad commentating and you can't just assume he missed the umpire's statements purely because you didn't like the way he questioned the decision.

Again, they were completely caught off-guard by the umpire moving into the final stages of giving him out. it's a very sensible assumption that they missed the umpire's statement!

They (and most viewers I dare say) were caught off-guard because the umpire moved on without checking properly. What the umpire said was not relevant.

ponting as a commentator with his pujara boohooing etc sounds like the next ian chappell in waiting tbh. you should all jump off his train now.

If only he was Ian Smith or a Danny Morrison

 

[Spikey]

Seems pretty relevant if an umpire makes a decision during an umpiring decision

 

[Senile Sentry]

No one here knows or cares who that is tbh

And Ponting was being questioned why Sams was traded by Delhi to RCB

 

[Senile Sentry]

Finally a good match - topsy-turvy and back from the brink partnership getting Heat across.

Labu getting out with sufficient time to spare helped them

Not watching the Ponting coverage, but I understand he’s infested by IPL stench so it figures he’d know what it’s all about

 

[Spikey]

Thunder will be kicking themselves but unlike previous seasons, I'm not sure there's much to dig into here. The teams were in very similar positions, but they lost wickets in the overs between 10 and 15 and the Heat didn't. it's tempting to say well they bowled rubbish, and they did, but rubbish often takes wickets. One more wicket would have changed things and they didn't get it.

So your issue is that Ponting didn't acknowledge the umpire's statement at the time

This could be Heazlett's career just about done after this debacle

Rather not. He seems to have just played his best innings. One of the best innings in BBal 10.

it's what he was saying the entire time man

 

[Spikey]

well well well look who's here

ajdude, go back to being a full time poster, ****

It started because you said he missed it. Which I'm not sure he did at all. He didn't directly acknowledge it but that doesn't mean he missed it. Personally I don't care that he didn't repeat the statement because viewers heard it anyway. Clearly you have an issue with it though.

turns out a pointless argument about literally nothing is what draws me out

Yeha probably the stench has engulfed the whole of bbl so not surprising it is non identifiable. Of course sceptics can have their heads in the sand pretending it has not.

 

[TheJediBrah]

nah if that's all he said I wouldn't have even commented. That's just his opinion and he's entitled to it.

boy, if you think this is pointless, wait until you read the Head vs Wade arguments
