*Official* Match 40 - Australia v Pakistan

[Burgey]

It's about time that resulted in the wicket-taking delivery being called a no-ball imo. Would cut out that sort of crap in an instant.

Congrats on the single most ridiculous post in the WC subforum, stiff competition notwithstanding.

 

[Neil Pickup]

I'd have given that in an instant were I the umpire, particularly given how little distance there was left to travel to the stumps... and I'd've been right.

Difficult to accept how "not out" and "out" can both be correct decisions when leg stump would have been lying on the turf had Kamran not got in the way...

 

[Spark]

Yeah not really a huge amount of doubt in my mind that that was crashing into the stumps.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Would've given it, myself. Fractions of an inch in it.

Solid call from the ump tho.

Johnson on. This'll be fun either way.

Quality post mate. I'd love to know how previous generations managed not to indulge in that sort of crap, or how they avoid in most other sports come to to that.

 

[tooextracool]

Yeah, Watson would be my call. Make the most of the new ball swing.

That would be too smart to be an Australian decision. Expect Watson to come on several overs after Johnson, even though I would have tossed him the new ball

There is no cricketer I hate as much as mitchell ****ybollocks johnson

 

[Tendulkar_200*]

Punter is always aggressive with the review, takes it at first opportunity, love it.

 

[Noble One]

What a surprise, a wasted referral.

Wasted? It was barely a finger-nail from being out. No point leaving referrals for later in the match. That LBW shout was very close and highly important in the outcome of this match.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Mitchell has the "spray" attachment fitted today then.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Tait and Johnson doing well i see.

Game could be gone for Australia if they don't sort it quickly.

 

[vcs]

Khatmal may have **** technique but he sure can play some dreamy punches through the offside.

 

[tooextracool]

Tait and Johnson are two of the least skilled bowlers I've seen in my lifetime. Two guys who if they didnt have the ability to bowl 90+ would not even be good enough to play in my back yard.

 

[pup11]

Its just frustrating to see Binga bowl his heart out from one end only for likes of Johnson and Tait to undo all his good work.

Well you've come down in the last shower if you think previous generations didn't indulge in it. And you plainly watch **** all sport too, if you think it's limited to cricket.

Want to take goals off blokes in football for ridiculous celebrations of goals? Just a rank stupid post mate.

And if Ambrose was 5' 2" and not 6'8", he could bowl first change

 

[pup11]

Bring on Watto....

Bit different, not like they go up to the goalkeeper and give him hell is it?

Bit unfair, problem is they are either awesome or awful with nothing inbetween. Having 2 erratic guys like that is a bit of a luxury.

 

[TumTum]

If there is any chance of winning this match, the spinners have to perform imo.
