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

[rentaghost]

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?

I heard his argument as well. Its not a perfect system but does get rid of the howler which was its intention.

 

[Bears Beets]

It’s clearly off the lower arm above the wristband and glove, how many replays do you need?

 

[mackembhoy]

That's a difficult one

Agreed not out. Too much doubt, on hotspot there might have been a bit of white on that glove.

 

[Rufus T Firefly]

Micky Arthur self combusting?

Appealing every ball now

Surprised we got that one

They havent had much luck like

Agreed. If you remove UC then you might as well just have DRS make every decision - it's one of the quirks of the game, that a decision hinges on the opinion of one person

sick of that twat behind the stumps.

Or alternatively, remove UC and the umpires give 'not out' to every appeal and let DRS make the decision

 

[dixonsafc]

These appeals are ridiculous even by Sri Lankas standards

 

[TopCat]

f***ing appeals man

 

[Bears Beets]

FFS, it was clearly not out

 

[TopCat]

These appeals are ridiculous even by Sri Lankas standards

Was it last summer where we reviewed for lbw and it was a perfect forward defensive shot? Even Buttler was laughing at it

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

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.

In other news... Nelson triumphs at Trafalgar.

Aye I think it was against the Aussies

Yeah in the ashes, i think. Middle of the bat.

Or remove retaining your review if it’s umpires call.

Haven’t been watching, just seen the card (another 50 for Bairstow, making a lot of people look stupid). How is it going?

Bairstow just out LBW for valiant half century (29)
