***Official*** Super Series

What a stupid idea this replay for LBWs thing is. What does that replay tell us except "it might not have been out"?

 

[Demolition Man]

Well hawkeye agrees, too high.

simply a waste of tme hopefully it isn't seen used after this series...

I think that the LBW referrals can be useful for judging whether the ball pitched outside leg and whether it hit the batsman in line. The umpires should make the decision of height and whether the ball would go on to his the stumps.

It could tell us that is is out, within a reasonable doubt. Could show whether there was a nick, where it pitched or where it hit. I also think it doesn't take up much time at all, but you could give the third umpire a short time limit to make the decision.

 

[Blaze]

Martyn is trying to get himself out it seems.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Yes but you don't sub on mcgrath for his batting.

Using a specialist as a sub is useless, unless you can rig the toss.

Err, no...

You pick say Hussey as a sub, and four or five bowling options in the main team.

If you win the toss, you bowl. After the 10 overs is done from a specialist bowler, bring on Hussey. If you lose the toss and you get sent in, you just bat with the team you have unless you suffer a collapse, in which case you sub off someone like Bracken for Hussey, and rely on part timers like Clarke and Symonds to bowl a few more overs for you.

Yeah , ok but without an opening bowler the team would be under serious pressure in the field and had they collapsed as you said, well It would not look good for them. If you dont have a collpase Hussey is not used.

 

[Demolition Man]

IMHO I think the super-sub idea puts more empahsis on luck. The toss is all the luck that cricket needs, we don't need a super-sub system.

 

[Blaze]

Great bowling from Murali. First Ponting and then Symonds.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

That has to be gone.

 

[Blaze]

And now Vettori gets Martyn. Martyn never looked comfortable against the spin.

 

[Blaze]

I can't believe Dar refered that and not the lbw appeal from Ntini on Ponting.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Nice stuff from Hussey and Watson here.

 

[Craig]

Was watching it but I kept falling asleep during the first 20 or so overs.

Must be Dead Rubber Syndrome.

 

[Craig]

What Flintoff has done to himself now?

4.2 overs he has bowled, so I assume he has injured himself.

 

[Zinzan]

Another class act from Vettori .....

10 overs 1-34

 

[cameeel]

Great 10 overs from Muralithian, 2-37

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Really impressed with Watson here. We knew Hussey could do this, but this might well be the best innings of Watson's ODI career here, especially if he can last the 50.

 

[Zinzan]
