[slowfinger]

The big triple.

A wicket
Review burned
Injury

the only triple Shane Watson will be familiar with.

** edit: change "injury" for "walking back to the pavillion looking like a lemon"

 

[CartyDurham]

Is it time to put 8 on the boundary ?

maybe in two wickets time

 

[GIMH]

Plot twist, England bowl the Windies out tonight

I remember some people saying we were headed for certain defeat during the Windies first dig last wicket partnership

Me I hate those periods with England

moan enough and a win follows

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Flat wicket and we have lost 6 wickets in 10 overs

 

[King Kane]

I would be happy to walk off if I was Sinclair,

I wouldn't want to stay out there facing Wood sending down 150 kph heat seeking missiles.

 

[mackembhoy]

I don't think that's hit the glove

The wristband did ripple when they rolled the replay forward.

But initially I thought it was one of them foreshortening issues you get with the potential bump balls on catches and it made it look like it hit the gloves wristband when it hadn't.

I don't think the third umpire saw that ripple as he made the decision immediately. I do like it when the third umpire uses common sense and doesn't go through a million replays. But that wasn't as clear cut immediately for me.

Yeah, it was obvious to see that ball hitting the grazing that part of the glove. I was hoping there was another angle.

 

[kevinw]

It probably boiled down to the on field decision. Had it not been given it probably won't have been overturned.

 

[GIMH]

Wood bowling beautifully, **** off @Shady Slim

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Wood still looking good for another over after this one. 4 in this spell now even with the quick change around with Bash at the other end too.

 

[slowfinger]

Just been watching some old Swann footage on youtube. I was a decent offspinner too at one stage, and the one thing I always say, is get the batsman on the blood front foot. Anything on the back foot is a wasted delivery.

 

[King Kane]

Heat seeking missiles from Wood at one end and now Bashir is bowling hand grenades at the other end.

Well unless you're Saeed Ajmal when England toured in 2012.

 

[CartyDurham]

I’m distracted as I’ve got the leader in the golf

 

[CartyDurham]

How on earth did Ponting get out to that dross ?

 

[slowfinger]

Well unless you're Saeed Ajmal when England toured in 2012.

well that worked out well for him didn't it

 

[CartyDurham]

About 35 mins left , think it’s going onto the morning now

Nick Faldo?
