well i thought i heard a noise but no idea wtf it was

 

[morgieb]

Weird, umpired so well before that but missed that.

Wonder where the noise came from.

Imam seems to be going for it tbf. Haven't had that many chances either.

Cheating Aussies pressuring umpires into giving that out.

England would pick 400 wicket Lyon but I don't think he gets this far if he started his career with them. They're horribe at managing spinners and would prefer one who could bat or spin it away from the righties.

Lyon gets into the West Indies team and maybe SL/Pak/Ireland. SA, India, BD, Afgh, NZ definitely not picking him (NZ don't even pick spinners whove taken 10 in an innings in their most recent test...)

I don't think Pak are going to go for this. Boring pragmatic draw on the cards, just like the first Test. That's not to say they can't do it. They just won't risk it. Might be some excitement if there is a wobble to reverse swing again.

 

[trundler]

Aggressive running. I like it.

All chases are straightforward. Score runs without getting out.

 

[morgieb]

Surely that's not a run out.

 

[Spark]

that would have been very funny

 

[Spikey]

I think Marnus may become the first player to ever get knocked out by the umpire

Not too sure about the boring draw.
This time tomorrow could be quite exciting, all 4 results could well and truly be alive.

Pakistan can still get folded within 50 overs. But if not, you can see it at the same venue tomorrow same time.

 

[GotSpin]

Have the rules changed for run ours?

 

[morgieb]

Have the rules changed for run ours?

I think so. Not sure the bails were off before he got back to the ground either.

Once you're grounded in the crease at all, anything after that doesn't matter.

 

[Spark]

That'll do for Swepson for now I think. Flat short rubbish; plenty there on offer but not if you bowl like that.

 

[morgieb]

Pitch does seem to be doing a bit but Swepson doesn't seem good enough to exploit it.

Though it could be a 0/100 turns 200 style chase, Pakistan will take this start.

When was this change made? Was such a stupid rule.
