Sri Lanka v England (2nd test) 22nd/26th Jan

[Steak Pie]

Can't help but feel this match rests on Jonny, Joe and Joss.

THE J-FORCE or something

Five players in the England side with first names which begin with J. All different names.

This is the kind of quality stats and analysis we're missing.

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Looks a lot closer this one. Maybe a touch too high

 

[zebediah]

Don't think so

 

[Bears Beets]

Looks a lot closer this one

Too high I reckon

 

[zebediah]

So so lucky

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Jesus that’s close

 

[Bears Beets]

Gerrin umpires call lad

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Lucky there

 

[TopCat]

ooof. Close

 

[viccarlton]

Poor umpiring, surely he should be giving that out?

 

[zebediah]

Interesting that hawkeye had that looping back down a little, I was just following the line up.

 

[Bears Beets]

Getting closer to that moose cup

Unless you're sure you give the benefit to the batsman, I thought it was higher real time than what Hawkeye showed.

Poor umpiring, surely he should be giving that out?

If it close enough to be bail height its hardly a terrible decision from 22 yards.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Poor umpiring, surely he should be giving that out?

Not really hence why it was umpires call. If he is in doubt then he should give benefit to batsman

The ball tracking surprised me as I thought it was high and going down leg.

Point taken but as Sangakkara has just said this umpires call is dubious isn’t it, you can have two different decisions for the same delivery?

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

England are the first team to take 10 wickets with seam in one innings and 10 wickets with spin in the other innings of a Test.

 

[zebediah]

Is anyone else a little suspicious of DRS with spin bowling?
Not convinced it is quite perfect yet, bang on with fast bowling though.
