Appeal so that they don't give it a wide. Oldest trick in the book.

 

[straw man]

got to ****ing joking - 4th wide Taufel has stolen from us

 

[_Ed_]

I think he's short here.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

aaaand my "entirely legitimate method of watching this licensed sporting event" is down. **** this.

 

[Bahnz]

Awful Taufel. Well played Jimmeh.

he's sick of you lot crying about trevor chappell

 

[Cabinet96]

Oh **** sake Kies.

 

[_Ed_]

148 it is. Better than it looked like it might be! And we have Franklin to thank for it.

 

[straw man]

So 148. Would be roughly 158 but for umpiring.

We're going to need to bowl really well.

 

[Mike5181]

**** umpiring cost us close to ten runs there.

 

[straw man]

clearly retired mentally some time before actual retirement

 

[Hurricane]

148 - will take that indeed.

Kane got out just in time.

 

[Howsie]

This Saffa keeper England poached ain't much chop behind the stumps is he, seems to make mistakes in just about every game I manage to watch.

Edit. Probably 15-20 short. Could be enough if McCullum actually shows up with the ball.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

To be fair, you can't blame the umpires for enforcing the rules as they are which accounted for the majority of those lost runs. should weed stupid rules like this out before a ball is bowled.

2 wides he missed stand out.

Reminds me of Aussie umpiring in the 1980s. Except there would also be a filthy lbw decision.

Yeah, if you are going to have a stupid dead ball rule like that then at the very least the next ball should be a free hit. That'd put a stop to it pretty quick.

 

[GGG]

See McCullum back to his norm of not scoring in big games.

 

[straw man]

Anyway, brilliant 50 by Franklin. Really batted well and showed why he should be batting at 5 or 6.

Yeah, but I'm not going to go crying over 2 runs. It's a ****ty job.

 

[Bahnz]

Yeah, but I'm not going to go crying over 2 runs. It's a ****ty job.

I'm more pissed off by the loss of two extra deliveries tbh.
