4th test Manchester

[EchoMan]

Well I for one am pleased Root did the right thing

 

[Leon Solent]

Clear bounce.

 

[Hyltons finest]

Not out imo

 

[sonson]

Bullshit that. If it was the Aussies they’d have celebrated it as a catch and the umpire wouldn’t have overturned it. Because Root is more honest and genuinely doesn’t know the umpire has shit the bed. Prick.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Root himself wasn't convinced. You can't expect that given after making a brew ha of what the Aussies did to Bairstow.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

How close was that?

 

[Ghfd]

Was a great ball though and Smith was clueless

 

[FatCat2402]

Replays are inconclusive in so many of those borderline decisions

 

[Medulla]

Never out in a million years

 

[Raker]

Bullshit that. If it was the Aussies they’d have celebrated it as a catch and the umpire wouldn’t have overturned it. Because Root is more honest and genuinely doesn’t know the umpire has shit the bed. Prick.

I think it’s fair to say you aren’t thinking about this with a level head

 

[EchoMan]

Always difficult but on the side view I felt it just touched the turf

if root had been a foot closer though

Good point well made Carty

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Root was too honest. I bet Smith would have hoyed that straight into the air

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Aussies would’ve cheated there. Good to see we’re finding the edge though. Need another 3.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

This is world class bowling from Woakes

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

The rule needs to be simplified tho, any part of the ball touches the ground and it isn’t a catch.

 

[LJP1786]

Root was too honest. I bet Smith would have hoyed that atraight into the air

He did at Lords (I think)!

Close but Root probably telling you it wasn’t quite out.

 

[brandon]

Great argument mate.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Not out for me

 

[Deleted member 41188]

Root was too honest. I bet Smith would have hoyed that straight into the air

His lack of immediate appeal did nowt for his case did it

 

[brandon]

I think it’s fair to say you aren’t thinking about this with a level head

Why not? If that’s an Aussie you know for a f*cking fact they’re claiming that catch.
