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

You can not be serious.

All I can say is that if that had been an English batsman, this forum would have been hot with indignant convicts berating the umpires yet again, so shut up before you even start.

Let me guess, that Flintoff one was a let-off too?

Hardly. There's a difference between a ball pitching in line and hitting leg and one pitching outside and going over the top. Anyway it wasn't a moan. Hence the

Even you must have seen it as a fair shout for Hoggard's? And the amount of turd that's been spouted about dodgy decision recently (not necessarily by you) on here, I think things are evening up.

Both me and Neil triggered him and I still would've with all the replays.

Yeah, I thought the Hoggard one was out at first glance, but I was just walking into the room and I didn't see the replay. Richie said it was missing leg.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

That one was gone I thought.

Maybe going over the top though.

 

[PY]

Hmm I''d have given that one too.

Bit high though.

Richie was forced to change to "well i can understand why the umpire didn't give it"

Even the best commentators are being made to look a bit silly by not waiting for the replays in this game. The amount of rubbish that they produced about the ball that dismissed Pietersen, until they were finally forced to admit that he just missed a straight one was fantastic!

 

[Slow Love™]

The one just now? I thought it might have just gone by off-stump, too.

You could just see the edge of Hayden's off stump to the right of the pad so I thought line was fine but he did get a MASSIVE step in so fair game.

Yes, weren't they at one point comparing the Gatting ball? It was verging on surreal.

 

[Slow Love™]

Hayden looking a little dodgy at the moment- losing his concentration a little and showing his frustration.

 

[Pedro Delgado]

The first ball of the day, I said "gone!!". Not easy though, a bit of doubt for Billy.

Gary Pratt on again, Gilo must be potty training or something.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Pratt on again. I wonder what injury Giles has?

 

[The Baconator]

And off they go.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Hmm, the crowd cheering the rain. Not a good sign for English cricket that.

 

[Pedro Delgado]

Hmmmmm, here is the rain. My offering to Herne has worked.

Blessed Be.

 

[PY]

About as bad a sign as 2-1 England is for Australian cricket.

Gilo just went off to get an umbrella
