5th test the oval

[SAFC11]

Just watched the run out again. Yes Bairstow hits the wicket before he has the ball under control but the bail isn’t dislodged. If that had been a bowled ball and the ball had popped up and settled back it would have been not out. So, surely it’s only out when the bails are off ie when Bairstow has the ball in his gloves. In other words he should be given out.

One half of the bail was up so he had to remove the full thing

 

[brandon]

It’s just feels massive that missed run out

We’d be batting now.

 

[Ghfd]

For crying out loud

yet another huge piece of Aussie Jam

sickening though correct

 

[Hulkenburger]

Feels like nothings going our way at the minute.

 

[Monument View]

Missing

 

[SAFC11]

Looked well down leg, suprise umpire gave it considering how long he took

 

[Ghfd]

More smith jam

 

[EchoMan]

A lead of 50 would be good going

Not going to happen unfortunately

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Not going to happen unfortunately

England like one innings test matches anyway

 

[brandon]

Going to be a one innings game here in effect, Aussies will get parity - maybe even a lead.

Although it’s just been pointed out to me that if he had gathered it cleanly and then dislodged the bails he would have been in

Going to be a one innings game here in effect, Aussies will get parity - maybe even a lead.

Would have took that this morning tbf

 

[Voice of fair play]

Been a top class bowling effort this mind, spinner out but seamers giving their all and no shortage of quality bowling.

Keep it up great stuff

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

I've had to turn the sound down on Sky. Fed up listening to the Steve Smith wankfest.

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

How lucky scum!

 

[SAFC11]

That's fortunate

 

[Bears Beets]

Only the mags are luckier than this lot

 

[Mr Redknapp]

3 Wickets is plenty with Smith still there tbf. But still keep going.. The game isn't decided after this innings.

 

[EchoMan]

Need to break this partnership.

I think Nasser is shagging him.

It's what England have been doing anyway tbf mate, bowl first keep it even after the 1st Inns then chase in the 4th.
