***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

A no ball due to the keeper, that's a new one.

Couldn't see anything wrong with his keeping.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

No ball for the keeper in front of the stumps by an inch at best

now that’s a new one

Joel Wilson is the epitome of professionalism in his arena, truly a master of the cricketing arts.

England don’t lose the review because it’s a no-ball, odd rule

 

[GIMH]

It actually happened during the ODI World Cup

 

[CartyDurham]

Was umpires call as I posted

I wonder if that no ball decision has ever been called before in a test match ?

I’ve never read , seen or heard of that law about the keeper

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I’ve never seen or heard that before in 40 plus years of watching the game

It's a legit way of calling no-ball, not as rare as the '3 men behind square on the leg side' rare.

It’s fair enough but I’ve never seen it before , unique in a test match in England in my opinion

Wood 1-23

Always been the case since DRS came in I believe.

SL are effectively 4-4

I'm hoping S.L can somehow get a lead of 150 or so to at least keep England honest in the chase.
So much is pending on these two to somehow get there.

 

[CartyDurham]

I’m going to check that law in my big book of cricket page 985 paragraph 6 , line 7

well done Joel Wilson for digging that gem out

Indeed, setting a challenging target for England in the fourth innings would intensify the competition.

The rules of the game worked perfectly there with the various decisions. All the right decisions were reached and more importantly they made sense. No one should have any complaints

 

[CartyDurham]

Comment there by Nasser stating Gaffney had given Smith a quiet warning pre that happening

looks very tight though when he has his gloves grounded

would not have been out anyway the appeal

None from me but I’ve never seen it before

be interesting if third umpires are watching every ball of a spinners over , at each end for no balls

Last guy who did that was Pant (?) in the IPL or one of the JamODIs recently.

Cheers. It’s woke me up a bit after the dull bouncer theory came in

I have seen a lot worse than Jamie Smith's keeping faux pas, where was Wilson then?
