***Official*** Australia in England (The Ashes)

Whoever is hiring the sniper to top Dar, get him to take a pot shot at jones as well, please. :}

And thank you again, Geraint

 

[Simon]

I take it that he's no longer on your Christmas card list, then?

both these umpires should be fined their match fees for bringing the game into disrepute...

 

[Demolition Man]

ouch cricinfo is opening up on jones.

"This has been some incredibly inept and clumsy glovework from
Geraint Jones in the last half hour"

 

[Scaly piscine]

Anyway the lbw shout was plumb in the first place...

Agreed.

 

[luckyeddie]

Totally and utterly irrelevant.

If we stop accepting the decisions of ther umpires, we are no worse than Geordies.

Aus supporters shouldnt get too ****y about Jones' ineptness, were being beaten by a team with no keeper and no spinner.

11 on 9 and were still being thrashed.

 

[biased indian]

Looks like Katich will lose some of his match fee as well, can't say I blame him though.

no he should loose some u r a not allowed to do that especally the out burts he had with a spectator on his way back

It was, but Katich's wasn't, that's just thw way it goes. :}

Maybe if jones could not bat, but he can.

Yes it was. I was worried when it hit but I think it was Tony who quickly said "not out" so I figured it must have hit the bat or something.

Well it goes to show how these decisions even out

11 vs 11 if u include bucknor and aleem dar for england...

 

[PommieMacGill]

Katich's reaction made me laugh, I mean come on like nobody else ever gets a bad decision.

And as for Geraint Jones, he needs to be dropped I'm afraid. Get Chris Read in, I'd happily trade Jones' runs for Read's glovework. Read is a decent bat too.

I wouldn't get too ****y, your lot play Durham in the next few weeks. Whatever 'no worse than Geordies' is supposed to mean...

All we have is one spinner, so its more like 1 on 9.

four and a half hours in the most important test he will ever play to cop that, it was more the situation combined with the decision than the **** poor way to get out...

 

[Adamc]

Meh. Given the circumstances surrounding the dismissal and the match I don't really blame him. It's bad enough having working very hard to save a Test match only to be done in by a poor decision, even worse when you're ridiculed by the spectators despite your hard work. I'm not saying that it's the fault of the umpire or the spectators - the umpire called it as best he could, and spectators are jerks wherever you go - just saying I can understand his frustration. He'll probably be fined, and rightly so, but I don't think that was the first thing on his mind when he got out.

 

[Jamee999]

Hmm, some poor decisions, one either way, and some s**t glovework from Joooones.

Hmm.
