4th test Manchester

Our use of reviews has been spot on this match

We were talking about opening the batting in test cricket hence the worse openers in test cricket

And their opening stats in FC cricket are very relevant to that

 

[Aidan11]

Boooooo the umpires.

 

[LJP1786]

The umps have made some major shockers in this match so far. So poor that.

From my shit memory I think stokes has done well with them. Don’t know the stats on it mind.

 

[Voice of fair play]

Are these the worst openers in history or what?

Not even close in fact miles away, Duckett really good start to his rest career

 

[Raker]

f***ing shot Mo!!

 

[Aidan11]

Mo batting like a no 3.

Football really need to learn from cricket in how to get video replays down quickly and conclusively. With VAR we'd be looking at it for 5 minutes and still be none the wiser.

Roy doesn't even open in domestic cricket in 4 day cricket, it's not relevant the point was openers worse at test level than Crawley

Ump call isnt a bad decision like, Green was out

Nah it was a shit call. Midgys ball hair clippped the bails.

Umpires call makes the stumps much bigger it's why they have it in place. As much as I hate it when you fall on the other side of the decision

Cos if you gave everything that clipped the stumps in any part out. You'd not really need an on-field umpire.

The technology isn't 100 percent accurate hence the umpires call part in place.

Moeen

Roy also hasn’t had half the chance as Crawley at test level to judge. But yes let’s make conclusions on 5 games

Totally different tbf. In cricket it's either hitting or missing the stumps. In football it's just down to someone's opinion when it comes to fouls

Jesus done Flintoff like a kipper with that picture on the 3000 200 graphic

Problem is that cricket LBW decisions can be done like that as it’s a quantitative decision. You’re either in line or not, etc..

The one good thing they need to learn from is the fact cricket acknowledge the error in the system and hence the use of umpires call. Football pretends that their offside decisions have no error whatsoever associated and hence make wrong calls time and again. If they had a linesman’s call type band attached to the decision I’d be much more in favour

I completely agree with needing to improve but the rules in cricket and near enough concrete, no opinion or hairsplitting once it’s sent for a review, it’s out or not.

And in cricket we can be waiting ages for things like inconclusive catches.

You keep changing the argument
