Like a charmNice work, you've taken him out too. We should've started this 6 overs ago.
I don't think that's ever happened in professional cricket.From 3.5 till 6th over Australia hit 14 boundaries in a row ..
That must be some kind of record ..
66 off 2.2 Overs ! :o
Got to feel for Scotland. That was a beat downI don't think that's ever happened in professional cricket.
The old ticker would have preferred Aus to do this to them in the West Indies lol, they really made us worry that dayGot to feel for Scotland. That was a beat down
There are mirrors everywhere these days unfortunatelyWhy is Travis so angry
Interesting one from Inglis there who pulled away from a delivery after it had seemingly left the bowler's hand (the one delivered by Watt from well behind the crease).
I'm not sure why it's not given out really.
Pretty much most of the opinion says it should have been out.
did the umpire give it out?Pretty much most of the opinion says it should have been out.
Inglis / Australia are, if nothing else, guilty of not doing their homework. Watt often does this, they should have been expecting it from time to time.
In the video Inglis appears to be ready, then someone posted a still when he looked down again and then walked away. He appears to be ready, but then takes clearly isn't ready for the ball that Watt delivers.
Any umpire will tell you the ball is in play once the bowler starts his run up. Thought the Aussies played by the rules.
Nope, called it dead ball. It wasn't going to change the result, but I'm struggling to see how it's not out when Inglis is clearly looking set and at the bowler at the point of delivery.did the umpire give it out?
I'm 50/50 on it. It's a legal tactic as far as I know, but the law does state that the umpire should call it a dead ball if the batsman is not ready. Which is kind of subjective. The batsman sets up mentally, and with trigger movements and backlift to prepare for the ball coming from around the crease, not a couple of metres behind it. So there's an argument that if the batsman says they're not ready (ie pulls away) before the point where the bowler would have been at the bowling crease it should be a no-ball.Pretty much most of the opinion says it should have been out.

As I said above, just because the batsman is looking up doesn't mean they're readyNope, called it dead ball. It wasn't going to change the result, but I'm struggling to see how it's not out when Inglis is clearly looking set and at the bowler at the point of delivery.
