Of course it is, umpire had one look, gave a perfectly reasonable decision based of that one look, yet for that gets called a cheat!

No need for that whatsoever ,thought cricket as a sport and fans were not as paranoid as football, but reading these threads lately I may be wrong.

Umpiring mostly in the India series has been below par though and even been questioned by ex players on occasions

mostly the third umpire to be honest and they have have made some very questionable decisions and umpires call has Mosley been bias to the home team.

however on that occasion he had to be given

Either way based on that delivery and that one look, to call that umpire a cheat, is simply bullshit, irrespective of what has happened previously

It’s very understandable why people
Are pissed off though

like I said it had to be given but I can see both points why people jump on decisions

umpires and referees are remembered more for the bad than the good usually.

This is really poor batting. Pitch is flat and the balls only gonna do something for a couple of overs. Throwing this away

Tbh, the way we have gone about batting in the early overs of ODI’s in the last 5 years has been simply brilliant and not only that very successful and very entertaining, if the odd time we fall flat and look silly trying this approach, I will take that for the bigger picture of the brilliant team we have become.

“Get out of the way the other fielder”

What? He’s nowhere near? Absolutely no excuses.


Aye.

“They only know one way” though.

Of all the games we’ve played over the last five years this one was such that 100-1 after 20 overs would’ve been more than enough to break the back of it.

Im sick of hearing how they play tbh from mogs. Their bowling attack is shit, they only have one decent bowler, just ignore him and hit the other 40 overs out of the park. Especially the 10 overs of spin they’ll have to bowl at some point

The way we have done about batting has brought good success, but we’ve lost quite a few games still. The champions trophy being a key one for instance. We need to be smarter about batting at times
That shot from stokes is perfect, 4 down the ground with no risk whatsoever

There is a difference between been pissed off and calling somebody very unfairly a cheat for a perfectly reasonable decision.

Personally I want them to do exactly what they have been doing and continue to do so.

I am 50 and without a shadow of a doubt, this is not only the best England 50 over team I have ever seen in my lifetime but also the most entertaining one by a country mile.

In white ball cricket you will always lose some games, but England’s current approach is brilliant imo, and would not change a thing!

Even though we should win even more games than we do? Astonishing tbh

That’s just your opinion, think we very successful and win loads of games.

Should we win even more? That’s just your opinion.

First game of this series for a start. Champions trophy semi final is another. Malans just shown we can score at a great rate whilst not being reckless 24-7

Today likely to be another...
