*Official* Fifth Test (The Oval, London) 27-31 July

Seriously just catch it first and celebrate after. It's not a race to show off.

 

[Gnske]

Look the ginger is about to punch someone else out

 

[Spikey]

For all the umpires know, they were reviewing a LBW

 

[loterry1994]

Wait did they have to DRS that? Surely that should be an umpire review?

no the umpire didn’t think he hit it.

 

[Spark]

What a truly bizarre moment to end the series on if that turns out to be it

 

[ripper868]

Send him off for dissent Joel

 

[Gnske]

Joel's integrity shouldn't be actively questioned like this. Disgusting

 

[GIMH]

Yeah I really don't see why we lose the review? Legitimacy of catches are never DRS reviews?

 

[Spark]

no the umpire didn’t think he hit it.

Lmao I should have known - that would have required the umpires to be competent and clearly that wouldn't have felt right

 

[Prince EWS]

"Gimme back my review, my diarrhea moment had nothing to do with the glove!"

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

 

[morgieb]

What a dramatic session. The Woakes spell blew the game open, but then a very handy partnership between these two.

146 runs needed, 7 wickets in hand is absurdly well placed for a match. Second (third?) new ball will decide the game I think.

 

[Gnske]

I've always said Nitin Menon was the wisest of all the umpires btw

 

[loterry1994]

That’s why stokes was reluctant to review cause he knew he dropped it but knew there was a Nick

 

[Skipper Pup]

Yeah I really don't see why we lose the review? Legitimacy of catches are never DRS reviews?

Cry me a river. Big cry baby.

 

[silentstriker]

Stokes. That is all.

Also Anderson has been dog**** tier here.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

I’m in ****ing Split. Had proper reception. In Dubrovnik yesterday. Today it’s trash.

I bunged on a stomach bug to get out of a shore trip so I could get back here and ****ing watch this ****ing **** and the ****ing ****s have **** ****ing internet. It’s ****ing **** and I hate the ****ing place and I hate Croatia* and they can all get ****ed

*actually a very nice joint.

is that you Ben? You suddenly sound upset for some reason...

 

[Molehill]

They're not debating the catch, they're debating the review. Australia didn't have to review the Starc catch because he claimed it first. Should Stokes do the same?

 

[Burgey]

Seriously just catch it first and celebrate after. It's not a race to show off.

Stokes’ whole captaincy regime has been and is a race to show off

 

[woodleigh]

Whingeball

 

[Son Of Coco]

Have you seen these umps?

Stokes: "**** I've dropped that!".

Umpire: "Not out"

Stokes: "...we'll have a look at that thanks".
