GET IN JONNY LAD

 

[SAFC11]

Well batted Jonny, deserved it based on last two innings

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

Good knock Bairstow.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

No one averages more than Bairstow at a better strike rate in ODI history

 

[TravellingMackem]

Really well deserved and really well played Jonny

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Gerrin Jonny lad, played well last game without reward

It’s the revival of that T20 stat sky used to use, combination of average and strike rate

 

[Bears Beets]

If anyone fancies us having a collapse, India are 5/1

It’s a reasonable one in the case I think

Given he’s near the top of all time averages

 

[Jack Torrance]

Bairstow best opener in this format in the world? Rohit is obviously brilliant but Bairstow scores quicker

Good job a team can have two openers. They both deserve to be up there. Sharma generally goes bigger, but Bairstow faster. He’s very underrated I still feel in this format in particular.

I’d like him to open in T20 as well. Don’t think he’s keen batting at 4

 

[TheRey]

Bairstow is a magnificent white ball player

Played very very well, aside from his idiotic running Roy out moment.

Has the Indian attack been more toothless than ours?

The only wicket coming from a mix up between the batsmen. None of them have looked dangerous at all. Kumar hard to get away but that's been it really.

 

[Salem Street South]

Just shows how valuable he still could be in the middle order in the Test side imo

Yea I’d have him opening too. I’d also have stokes opening though so my teams just a pipe dream for T20

That’s the problem though, the marginal decision isn’t defined for the third umpire. That would normally have stayed with the onfield decision, but that doesn’t exist in the run out situation. You can’t say conclusively that it is out, there’s a possibility some marginal part of the curvature of the bat is just beyond the line which makes it difficult to call. It’s just impossible to call with the available technology.

I take your point about the mid frames, but since they don’t exist you can’t make a decision on assumptions like that - the bails could also have broken at the exact second the frame was taken, of course, however unlikely that may be.

See avatar. You can conclusively say it was out, but the point is this isn't a court of law. The third umpire gives his best decision - and that is clearly out even if you think there's some scintilla of doubt.

Don’t think it’s been any better for sure. Think it shows how hard it is setting a total and even moreso when you play old fashioned cricket like they did. They caused a lot of their own wickets by the way they build instead of playing shots early when it’s easier to bat

I get what you’re saying, but the bat isn’t quite that shape and does have a curve to it which introduces the doubt.

In general using the third umpire it is the court of law principle rather than a balance of judgement, and even amongst the professionals on TV they couldn’t decide whether the batsman getting the benefit of the doubt is a thing or not. Whole thing needs clarifying
