    LOL - I'll have to rifle through the stats book and compare it to the great 1-fors. :p

    Oh, let's be honest - many of us just can't stand the man - I know I can't. :) And Lara's magical. I'd have Lara over Kallis in a match like this anyday.

    I didn't think my comment was particularly harsh - I was recommending he get Man of the Series, and I only said he didn't do a whole lot in the second game (not batting and taking 1/56).

    Oops, I thought the MOM call was the MOS announcement (in my defence, I was fighting with my son for the remote control. :)). Still think Watson should have got it though.

    Yes, Watson. They just announced it. Didn't think much of him before the series. I now have a far more open mind about his potential. Didn't do a whole lot the second game, but he's been extremely involved in the other two matches.

    True - but it would have been interesting if he could have "not planned on sticking around" a little longer out there. :) BTW, mate, I've been meaning to ask you - did you go by the same name at the ABC forums? I used to post there occasionally, but don't remember the name. Unless you didn't...

    It's a pity Freddie went when he did, because they were starting to mount a little challenge there.

    ***Official*** Super Series

    Well, I reckon you could be a little more sure if you're going to talk about people completely misinterpreting how the technology is to be used, I think. Particularly if you're judging it on how Dar "seems to be" operating it, and all the decisions don't necessarily follow the pattern you...

    Does anybody know the attendance figure for today?

    ***Official*** Super Series

    Well, the comment I made on that decision was not entirely out of the realm of facetiousness - "if for no other reason then for diplomacy's sake". It was just an acknowledgement of Hair and Murali's history. But is this orientation on the part of the umpires "in your judgement", or is there...

    Oh well, must just be Malcolm Speed and me then. 8-)
  12. Slow Love™

    ***Official*** Super Series

    Yes - my understanding was that they refer to the third umpire to ask specific questions, such as "was it in line?" or "was it going over the top?". They can't simply ask "was it out?". I'm not sure how that leads to me completely misinterpreting how the technology is being used though. What...

    At least Kallis didn't soak up as many balls this time. Honestly, we can defend this concept as much as we like (and I will), but it can't be denied that this contest has been pretty lousy.

    ***Official*** Super Series

    I thought it might have been going over the top myself, but I agree that Hair should have referrred it - if not for any other reason, then for diplomacy's sake, considering the protagonists. :)

    Very well done from Watson and Hussey there - I really thought a score of 270 or under was going to be likely. 293 is a pretty damn good though.

    ***Official*** Super Series

    LOL - that sucks.
  17. Slow Love™

    ***Official*** Super Series

    How have the referrals been today? I missed most of the first part of the innings. I saw one off Martyn for a caught decision (off the forearm) that went pretty well, and I heard the commentators mention one they thought that went well from Hair on an earlier LBW (I don't know whether it was...

    It was indeed very tight - I couldn't see any part of the foot behind the line when he delivered it, myself. But a very big call when it's that close.
  19. Slow Love™

    ***Official*** Super Series

    No-ball!

    ***Official*** Super Series

    No love lost between Murali and Hair when that LBW was turned down, was there? Looks like a good 50 coming up for Watson, here. Hussey hasn't missed a bit lately and has looked the part.
