CRICKET WTC and Ashes Tour of England

Isn't part of the "spirit of the game" accepting the umpires decision?

And this is where the entire whinge should end. The Umpires ruled him to be out. The End.

 

[Big Del]

No.

But in his defence, the square leg umpire was walking, and the umpire was giving the bowler his hat so I can see how you'd think it's been done.

Check the vision at 1 .06 of this video .
Greene is half way down the pitch . Marnus still in position at bat pad .

So whoever told you Green was collecting his hat and the square leg was on the move is a one eyed Pom .

You can clearly see the umpire unclipping Green's hat and moving looking down. At no time did I say Green was collecting his hat- you made that up.

I said the umpire was giving him his hat. What else was he doing unclipping it? Going to throw it in the crowd?

Quit splitting hairs ...

I quoted you ,

the square leg umpire was walking, and the umpire was giving the bowler his hat .

They are the words I quoted from your post .

How can he give him his hat if he is still at the end of his follow through ?
He may have been preparing to give him his hat . Subconsciously unclipping the cap from his belt . But Green was at the other end of the pitch . Marnus was still in his position Carey had already released the ball . Umpire made a mistake . If he had called over , the 3rd umpire wouldn`t give it out .

I also dispute the square leg was on the move .

Seems like opinion is well and truly behind Carey and Australia, even among England greats. Thankfully it's a short turn around and it gets started again tonight.

Still think the biggest thing to come out of Lords was the short ball tactic. Is it a blip on the radar or a new way forward.

We know he didn't call over; the discussion was what visual cues led Bairstow to this position.

I said if he was walking down the pitch sees the umpire unclipping Green's cap and the umpire is moving then I can sort of see.

Should he have turned around and kept his bat in the crease and asked over? yep. No one is disputing that.

I think the overhead conditions are having a big part which is always the way in England. When on day one and it was cloudy England didn't make use of the best bowling conditions.

Both Tests when it's been cloudy it's been hard to bat and good for bowling. But it seems too not last for long.

Need some cloud for longer. Less fine weather to bring the bowlers in.

Bairstow didnt even turn around to check if Carey had caught the ball... he ducks and then starts walking forward.

It also looks like the ball is out of Carey's hands before he scratches at his crease.

It's laziness and complacency of Bairstow

 

[Sproj]

Big news - Green out!

So Australia have Green and Lyon out injured as well as resting Hazlewood and Murphy, Marsh (haha) and Boland in.

 

[BroncsFan]

Poms have won the toss and are bowling.

I haven't seen the pitch yet, but Cummins apparently would've bowled as well... guessing it's green as fuuuuuuck

 

[Sproj]

England look a lot better balanced too, this could be tough for Australia but they've done really well so far.

 

[Fitzy]

Cam Green has done **** all this series so can’t really lose much there. Not that I love Marsh but can’t do much worse really

I haven’t seen the pitch so I can’t comment on Boland but you know it’s Scott Boland, when has he ever let us down?

Murphy is the obvious and only choice, great back up imo.

 

[Fernando]

England gonna get the better of the conditions again

 

[Waynesaurus]

*sigh*......bloody Warner

 

[Fitzy]

Time for Marnus to be of value this series.

 

[Waynesaurus]

The pitch is looking not so bad actually.
