6th Match - England v Pakistan

[h_hurricane]

SA were at a similar point yesterday. Lets see if England fare better.

That would have been plumb pre drs

nah. If anything, umpires give more borderline calls now. Back pre-DRS you'd barely get any 50/50 LBW decisions go the way of the bowler.

That looked out live to us, but that's because the front on view doesn't actually show us how far ahead the batsman got. There is a reason why the old adage 'get a big stride in' exists.


Why on Earth isn't there a slip for Wahab lmao

 

[trundler]

Nail the ****er in front when he moves across

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wahab's been great. Lots of jammy runs from England today.

 

[h_hurricane]

The slip fielder bisected the ball between both the boundary riders lol.

 

[trundler]

10 off the over. Get Amir on. Get the edge.

 

[cnerd123]

Wahab and Shadab are bowling well, just need a bit of luck. Would help to keep a slip in place.

Yeah you're right. The stride forward is under rated when it comes to assessing decisions with the naked eye. I remember the 90's when so many matches were lost to terrible decisions. Kudos to the umpire for this one. Erasmus is one of the best.

 

[weldone]

Was 29.1 a boundary? Cricinfo showing a dot but commentary says four!

Edit: They've corrected now.

 

[trundler]

No Erasmus ****ed us over and I'll be burning his effigy later

 

[wrongun]

Jos has that 2015 ABD vibe to him.

 

[cnerd123]

Yea okay England are favourites now

[Malcolm]

Now it's 60-40 in favor of England.

Im on the east coast in Canada now, matches start 5 am its a pain in the ass. I have to actually come into work early at about 7.15 so I can catch most of the 1st innings and all of the 2nd.

root asking the people near the sightscreen to get their titties out
