The commentary of miniscule edges when ultra edge shows an edge is horrendous mind.

Probably got better sound available in the comms box than the middle. We regularly hear ghost sounds good watching on tele than those in the middle.

 

[BazBall21]

In real time didn't see or hear any indication of that edge at all tbh

Yeah it was freakish. Nobody suspected it.

 

[BazBall21]

You feel that edge sums up what's gonna be a long day for England.

yeah I'd say that was just one that has been a regulation play and miss at all levels of cricket for as long as cricket has existed, except now we have ultra edge

 

[King Kane]

Not a bad session after getting sent it to bat with only 2 wickets down, a bit lucky not to be 3 down though with England not reviewing that thin edge.

 

[Bahnz]

Dunno if the weather will change much because the pitch will be dead by then.

Hasn't done much in the air and IIRC doesn't tend to swing much in Chch.

Swings plenty at Christchurch. Boult always got plenty of hoop.

did they show snicko on the Latham dismissal. felt the sound came after the ball pass the bat.

Yep it synchs up perfect. Definitely a little touch.

We've got a GP biopic here in the UK.

Been climbing LOTR mountains with his lass and him parents gushing over him so far.

 

[Bahnz]

England's bowlers might need to ask to borrow GP's crampons after lunch.

 

[hendrix]

Swings plenty at Christchurch. Boult always got plenty of hoop.

All right we'll see. We'll still be batting on day 3 so will see what Woakes and co can do compared to Boult.

 

[Flem274*]

Finn Allen can really bosh a six.

Kane Williamson can really caress a three.

We've all had to caress a three once.

 

[smellcricketintheair]

GP easily one of the best all rounders in tests last 12 months.. indeed time for a 30 min biopic

 

[thierry henry]

So are UK viewers getting our coverage, including the commentary stylings of Sumo Stevenson?

 

[straw man]

GP stands for General Practitioner for a reason, truly a Renaiisance all-rounder for the modern era

surely we cant be blessing them with all Stevensons cricketing knowledge

 

[thierry henry]

Stevenson talking about bowling a normal seam up delivery as though it's a canny strategic return to cricketing tradition

 

[smellcricketintheair]

That should wake Kane up from being rusty .

 

[Prince EWS]

That should wake Kane up from being rusty .

Bang him on a curb, get him rusty. Stick him in a rain barrel, get him rusty.

 

[Immenso]

Only been watching since lunch, am quite surprised at how visually brown the pitch is,
