*Official* Third Test (Headingley, Leeds) 6–10 July

[KungFu_Kallis]

Why has umpire's call for impact not been done away with again?

Because coat hangers aren't that expensive

 

[BigBeefy]

Bairstow confidence looked low I thought throughout his innings.

 

[Croadymeister]

Que shot of Bairstow at the tennis eating a sundae Constanza-like.

He will be able to go next week

 

[91Jmay]

It's because impact has to be manually chosen as a specific frame by an operator and there can be uncertainty if the actual impact was between frames and there's been interaction between the pad and ball.

Yeah, if they get it wrong it massively diverts the ball to different angle. I've always agreed with Stokes that the Lyon not out decision @ Headingly in That Test was no way ripping like DRS said it was. It missed it clipping his front pad changing the directory.

His confidence was shot by that missed stumping at Edgbaston,unfortunately England were ruthless enough to take gloves away

 

[Starfighter]

Not seeing why Boland is persisting around the wicket to Stokes.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Some embarrassingly lazy running there from Mo.

 

[Kraken]

Murph on. This will be good

 

[Croadymeister]

So we need to get 158 in order for us to be in same situation as Headingley 2019

I have this problem with tight offside calls and VAR. But that's for another day

 

[Croadymeister]

Murph on. This will be good

Yeah probably go through us with ease,after all we give you wickets like Christmas presents

 

[91Jmay]

I have this problem with tight offside calls and VAR. But that's for another day

Yeah, how do they know when it leaves the foot etc etc

 

[G. S. Kohli]

Bairstow confidence looked low I thought throughout his innings.

Once you loose Momentum of whats happen in the past,anyone under pressure on doing good, i wish ECB rested him to get Heal well for next 2 test.

Johnny is not same as we know him.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Least we saved the follow on yesterday

Got to get within 50 minimum.

 

[91Jmay]

He's got an irritating action.

 

[AVA]

Umpires call for impact doesn't rely on anything beyond first contact though is what I assume the point was. You can still have impact occur between frames etc though, so it does make some sense to have a margin of error factored into the call.

 

[RightArmMystery]

How much turn is Harry Potter expecting? Majority of that over started outside leg.

 

[Spark]

I have this problem with tight offside calls and VAR. But that's for another day

Yeah 100%, ridiculous that they can rule offside by 0.1mm when that uncertainty exists

 

[GIMH]

Least we saved the follow on yesterday

Got to get within 50 minimum.

Big ask but agree. Hopefully Woakes brings his A-game

Yeah, that is right it's just the ICC constantly say it is purely about umpires still being the Pharaoh of the game. It's a bit conspiratorial of me, but as soon as you admit there is margin for error you open yourself up to criticism so just leveraging crickets inherent pomposity is an easier sell.
