Could have thrown it to the other fielder though

 

[Athlai]

Incredible control

 

[TheJediBrah]

Cameraman doing a decent job of finding the talent tonight

Must be South African.

Should look to make the Irish Woakes go the distance here. Isn't a good death bowler at all.

 

[TheJediBrah]

This Irish keeper clapping every wide is not working for him

 

[TheJediBrah]

wtf is Nathan Hauritz doing there

edit: "Ireland spinning coach apparently". I know they're minnows but surely not that desperate

Yeah given Ireland pick seven bowlers I reckon he should probably only have the one spell with the new ball tbh.

 

[ataraxia]

Great fielding from McCarthy there

See also Michael Holding's career commentating in the UK.

I never noticed that because he was too busy talking about himself.

I got the news yesterday he's coming down here for the tests. Looks like another summer watching with no sound.

 

[ataraxia]

That one was so close to landing off the cut pitch lol

oh and 6

 

[Starfighter]

Wow this is a shocker.

Am I the only one who's noticed that keepers clap it's usually a wide?

 

[Gob]

Well played arun

 

[Spark]

no ball, surely? that looked chest high

 

[Prince EWS]

Worse than (3)'s over IMO. Putrid.

All I remember about Holding is him whinging constantly and expressively about how bad the West Indies are now

Mercy rule.

Trying to put the umps off

I don't get why they do it if anything it would make the umpire annoyed

If that's the reason I've never, ever seen it work.
