*Official* First Test at Swalec Stadium, Cardiff

[tooextracool]

Looked dead there

Hawkeye says just pitched in line unlucky for the bowler

That was too close to call IMO, it just about pitched in line, no umpire could tell that for sure given that half a ball landed in line with the stumps.

 

[Briony]

hmm...Hilfenhaus gets another plumb turned down

Doctrove should have accompanied Hair into retirement.

 

[King Pietersen]

Quality fielding from Siddle 400 up for England, nice over for England. Encouragement for our spinners, and a few boundaries. Nice.

That Hilfenhaus decision wasn't out either, pitched outside. Looked to be pitching outside leg on first view aswell.

 

[chalky]

400 3 consecutive boundries from Swann

 

[Jono]

Hauritz getting spanked by Swann! FFS

 

[Craig]

Now if that is not showboating by the no.10, then I don't know what is.

 

[pasag]

Lol at Hauritz.

Very nice batting from Swann.

 

[tooextracool]

Swann playing twenty 20 cricket here.

 

[R_D]

400 runs up..... i'd say this is quite entertaining cricket.
Good to see England tailenders come out and play attacking cricket.

 

[Nate]

Haha, if the deck keeps this up, can see us getting rolled for under 200, with the tail getting most of those.

Bowl Norf from teh other end Punter.

Yeah I agree difficult decision and benefit of doubt to batsman.

 

[Craig]

Partnership of 47 off 32 balls.

 

[Top_Cat]

Now if that is not showboating by the no.10, then I don't know what is.

He's not really a number 10, though. Has 4 FC tons with a highest of 180-odd. Hardly a bunny.

 

[BoyBrumby]

16 off the over. Swann putting Nathan Laker's bowling into perspective.

 

[superkingdave]

turns out if was a correct decision by Billy

 

[Stapel]

If the ball only just pitched inline..., was it such a bad decision to give it Not Out?

Oh dear, Hauritz get some treatment here.... 16 of the over!

 

[tooextracool]

Doctrove should have accompanied Hair into retirement.

Err it took bloody 3 replays and a hawkeye to be able to confirm that that pitched in line. If an umpire could have figured that out, hed have to be the best umpire in the history of the sport.

I take it you ignore the replays...

 

[Langeveldt]

Jeez, where is Bryce McGain when you need him

 

[Craig]

Well he is batting at 10 in this innings, so that is why I called him that.
