4th Ashes Test - Old Trafford

[JohnSmithUK]

They would just review it? Would be interesting to see if he had walked if Aussies had no reviews left.

No reviews left, then make the umpire make the decision.

 

[toosb]

Sorry but can't believe he walked. whats he playing at.

Ultimately, you can't criticise the lad for honesty but it's a further indication we are too nice. Can you imagine Ponting or Waugh walking at Melbourne?

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

For the record I'd leave it to the man in charge to make a decision. I'd never just walk

 

[chopsfc007]

Not cheating just let the umpire make the decision.

Depends how you view it people would be furious if an Aussie didn't walk and umpire didn't give it

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Been a poor series from us. We’ve prioritised white ball over red and that’s showing

Happened with Broad didn't it?

 

[Voice of fair play]

How sad is it,that our player was clearly out and did the right thing walking.

Yet loads of here criticise him for it!

Let’s face it, the Aussies bowling has been very good in general throughout the series, they’ve got some incredible bowlers but we’ve been such a soft touch at times.

Things need shaking up quite a lot. New coach in, new captain, drop Roy and Bairstow for me and a couple others perhaps.

We thought we had a good batting line-up. In reality we don't have. Not enough Test standard batsman and for years Broad and Anderson have dig us out of trouble.

Yeah the averages are low put these lads in one day game and I’d be confident they would take on anyone. In the test format not so sure.

Bowlers have been good for years up with the best. If we had Anderson in with him broad and archer as the change bowler I would have had more confidence. I even think jimmy would have caused smith trouble.

Time to give a few of the lads who play county cricket a go. Have two complete different teams the limited overs team and the test team.

I also think the modern day player prefers the shorter game.

I personally wouldn't like mate. I expect the umpires to make the decisions me, if he hasn't given it let the Aussies review.

Very sporting like but I wouldn't have done it.

At the umpire, not the player, and now you have reviews to overturn any howlers.

Was class when Broad took a git chunk out the ball a few years ago and stayed in.

Nice guys don't often win.

Buttler should be ahead of Bairstow

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Same as in snooker calling fouls on themselves, shows character.

You never walk like, ever, its not the right thing to do at all.

You are only out when the umpire gives you out.

 

[steve buscemi eyes]

Buttler should be ahead of Bairstow

Aye good point, Butler’s average this series has been utterly laughable.

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

75 overs to go

bet there aren't.

 

[toosb]

I don't think it's our main issue, that's for sure.

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

Aye good point, Butler’s average this series has been utterly laughable.

drop him and roy and briny them back for the one dayers. Bairstow is a decent keeper but he is on for his batting aand that has been reaspnably poor as well
