*Official* First Test at Lord's

[benchmark00]

Kumar to get Prior bowled with an in-swinger.

 

[Uppercut]

And meanwhile, back over at Ishantland...

Clearly has too much pace for this level.

 

[silentstriker]

Bizarre non-referral from Morgan, no additional evidence on the replays to suggest he nicked off. A review may well have reversed the umpire's decision. Morgan must have been convinced he got a very slight edge on it.

Or he thought he was given LBW which is non reviewable...

 

[Spark]

Want to see hawk eye on that Morgan dismissal lol.

Actually closer than I thought (still not very close)

 

[weldone]

Guess morgan has not played the 100's of bowlers like PK in the county scene.

Maybe Morgan has played too much against Goughy

 

[Cevno]

Just to illustrate my earlier point,the hotspot did only show a spot on the pad for the Morgan dismissal.was it not out too?

 

[Jarquis]

Vaughan saying Morgan didn't refer as he thought he was lbw.

 

[silentstriker]

Cevno raging against the machine....

 

[weldone]

Very very important partnership this, for both teams...

It looks like it was not out yes

 

[Tom Halsey]

Nah those weren't that full. Hence why they were able to move a mile.

I was under the impression that the fuller you bowled, the more the ball had a chance to swing? Genuine query, I hadn’t ever heard that idea questioned before.

Besides, the ball that just got Morgan out definitely wasn’t full, as it was going well over the stumps. It was still ‘edged’. Wasn’t watching the Bell one overly closely, though I wasn’t under the impression it was very full.

 

[Woodster]

Or he thought he was given LBW which is non reviewable...

Yes that's possible, but surely it would have been worth clarifying the mode of dismissal with the umpire before walking off.

 

[Spark]

That's odd. Do people reckon he would have gotten away with it? I'm not so sure tbh (no snicko)

 

[vcs]

Lol, a few Indian batsmen are going to have a tough time getting set against Anderson and co. in such conditions..

 

[silentstriker]

All of them will tbh. Sachin is andersons bunny even when he wasnt good.

 

[Woodster]

That's odd. Do people reckon he would have gotten away with it? I'm not so sure tbh (no snicko)

Can't say with any certainty what the third umpire would have advised, but I think there was enough evidence to overturn the decision, and snicko now strengthens that suggestion.

 

[Jono]

Wow at that ball

 

[Cevno]

KP did tbh. Wonder how much batsmans reactions shape people's perceptions.

Seriously, no he didn't. I'm not sure why you're hammering on about this but everyone else in this thread is in agreement that he missed that comfortably.

KP fairly obviously didn't hit it, nothing to do with his reaction.
