India v England series

[zebediah]

Just don't see how that nick off the side of the leg made the ball jump over the stump?

 

[Scunny Dan]

One of these Indian comms suggesting it looked high. Can't quite believe my ears!

 

[Jack Torrance]

What’s a good score on this pitch? Haven’t been watching

 

[Pepe]

I get the distinct impression that the Umpire’s are prepared to give the initial decision out and be prepared to get it wrong (where it is marginal) to bring in the Umpire’s call.

It didn’t look out, the ball has had a nice plateau between his pad and the stumps.

 

[mackembhoy]

I don't like umpires call.

It's hit the stumps its out.

 

[mikemanc]

Technology says out but dont think id be giving it out as the on field umpire

Both openers seem gone mentally against spin

Nah, a difficult one to give when it clips the pad and goes over the stumps. I can see that it would happen but I'd be unsure as the ump.

 

[Concordsafc]

Umpires call Should be scrapped because if it hits the stumps then it should be given our doesn’t matter if it hits plumb or
Clips it the batsman would be out.

 

[Salem Street South]

I’m glad we went with Jimmy of the seamers but Stokes has to be fully fit for me to justify this line up.

Given how little he’s bowled so far in the series it feels like a gamble to me.

pitch looks fine to me.

350 minimum I reckon

Agreed I’d umpire isn’t 100% sure they should review it themselves.

 

[scotch]

Dont think we can criticise the on field umpires too much this series as technology has backed them up.
What we can say is theyve seemed a little eager to give the English batsman out since the 2nd test

Ah well looks like we’re gonna be short unless we get a big partnership

 

[mikemanc]

The way Siraj is bowling makes our line up look a mistake

 

[Salem Street South]

Bairstow looked out to me, don’t think there can be any complaints other than India seem to have got just about all the umpires call all series

 

[scotch]

Think its more 450 minimum

 

[zebediah]

I think the team we picked last match would be perfect for this pitch, while the team we've picked this match would have been perfect for the last match.

 

[Salem Street South]

Can’t believe we’ve gone in a bowler short here, basically need Stokes to go big with the bat and then bowl long spells. Madness

 

[mackembhoy]

The way Siraj is bowling makes our line up look a mistake

But we're are 82/4 and this is a more traditional Indian pitch.

So we need 500 and Pope has been shit. With Ben not much better

But it's mad having a batting keeper 8 and a number 5 at 7(who batted 3 two test ago)

 

[Salem Street South]

Think its more 450 minimum

Somewhere between the two probably

Not arguing about the need for a score and our poor form but if we score 500 with this bowling line up they'll score 700. We've got to back whichever batsmen we pick but Jimmy and Stokes as our quicks looks like we're short. I'd love this to be bumped in a couple of days time.

The technology has a degree of inaccuracy in it and matches would last three days if you didn’t have umpire’s call.
