41st Match - England v New Zealand

[The Hutt Rec]

Take Williamson out of the semi and you lose all interest/ratings for the game. I don't think the ICC would do it.

Woakes <3

 

[Meridio]

Yes


Henry Nicholls sleeper hit of the summer.

Or Henry Nicholls sleeping for his second hit of the summer.

 

[BSM]

That didn't look out imo

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Worth a review, I'd have thought ... but do you keep the review if it's umpire's call in that situation? I've lost track of the rules. I know it is if it's umpire's call hitting when given not out.

 

[Moss]

Kane might as well open the batting. Nicholls replacing Munro justified but nothing to show for it in two games.

 

[Spintolose]

The Woaksrah!

 

[Uppercut]

I actually don't mind the wicket slowing up. It evens things up. Also, forces the batsmen to use their feet to create some momentum.

Yeah it probably does even things up a bit tbf.

It’s more that I think they over-egged how much it had slowed. Was more that Bairstow and Roy got well set against shite new ball bowling and then batted very well.

Yeah it hardly looked plumb, you do keep the review if it's umpires call. Thought they could have chanced a second look.

So according to Cricinfo, Williamson may be out next match due to over rates lol.

WTF. We must protest in front of ICC headquarters or something.

 

[Meridio]

I'm really, really surprised he didn't review that. It looked high right from the start.

 

[Groundking]

Missing! What a gift.

 

[The Hutt Rec]

Awful decision from Ravi.

 

[Spintolose]

Snooze you lose Nicky boi.

 

[Burgey]

Genuine advert for not putting the acid back on the players for a review.

 

[wrongun]

Wow....what a moron for not reviewing that...at worst it wouldve been an umpires decision. Guptill are you blind?

 

[BSM]

Yeah feel for NZ there. Weirdly I think Nicholls had made up his mind that he was out when it was given. By the time Guptil went to talk to him he was already taking his gloves off.

 

[aussie tragic]

When Root had his anxiety nose bleed I wondered what that would do to the over rate...and before when Smith had only slapped his pads and bat 26 times instead of the mandatory 50, thus stopping the bowler in mid stride...

...why should fielding captains cop all the blame for slow over rates

 

[Burgey]

What a moron for giving it.

I don’t blame a bloke who’s not established in the side not reviewing it in the first over when it’s do or die. Sure you can say he should have, it the umpire should have got the ****ing decision right. It was horrendous. The umpire is bloke who’s blind, never mind Guptill.

 

[Borges]

Doesn't matter; play a central role in winning the semifinal and all this would be forgotten.
