I wonder if when the square leg umpire missed the obvious stumping they decided the light was dodgy as it wasn't long after that they went off. Looked to me he couldn't see the line

It was out. We were in line with it
They are coming back on in 6 minutes. 14 overs to play. Absolutely remarkable
Campbell not happy when speaking to the umpires.

These pair of twats would be chased off the field in my league and I play in Division 11 in the Warwickshire league.

Pair of cheating fuck wits. I’m raging.

Hanging would be a bit drastic though.

but a phonetic victory as rather meaningless unless you win the championship. Am I right that you've never win the county championship in your 150 year history? Nothing to gloat about have you really?
Read phyrric for phonetic

Yeah they were and I had a few strong words with them afterwards. :lol:
Edit - Well just back at where we are staying in Somerset. Have to say that last 13 overs was absolutely farcical. Firstly taking them off for bad light, truth be told I felt it was no darker than an hour earlier. However majority went home and the feeling was no further play and the light most definitely was fading, it was getting darker. For them to them to come back out was very surprising as it was clearly a lot darker than earlier and it kept getting darker. Losing 3 wickets I expected. End of play both umpires held back walking off, I managed to have a word with one of them who told me it was lighter when they came back on... I had to laugh and just said "no chance". His response to me raised a few eyebrows and shock from others in the vicinity of the dugouts area. Absolute farcical conditions and it's spoilt what would have been a canny day tomorrow. Just the 320 miles to drive home tomorrow. I keep saying this but the standard of umpiring is appalling and it's showing no signs of improvement. The response the umpire gave me tonight is genuinely concerning especially for all players if they deem those conditions to be safe to play red ball cricket.
