No, you specifically said he could get out from the 6th ball bowled if he faced less than 6 balls. You are talking shite as usual

If the only thing you can find to enjoy yourself at the cricket on a cracking morning like this is running around with a beer snake then cricket isn’t the sport for you

to be fair mate, it's one stand. there's plenty of other areas of the ground that are ape/pint snake free.

You know exactly what I mean, he's always going to have to face some balls

There's a school of thought that, at international level, a tailender should be capable of holding his own with a bat. Even so, a batsman who has played himself in should look to protect the fresh batsman from the strike until they've got their eye in. Especially so if you are nine wickets down. Lawrence cost us 20-30 runs because he's too much of a wimp to tell Broad and Anderson to stay off strike.

He survived 5 if Lawrence was farming the strike he might have faced one ball and got out anyway

Said there’s no way it can be given not out, that there’s no where his fingers could be other than under the ball.

Also talking about how the umpire giving a soft signal from 40 yards away is a load of shite and they can say what they reckon but the third umpire shouldn’t be swayed by the on field decision.
