Second Test - England v West Indies (Old Trafford)

[TopCat]

More crap umpiring?

 

[zebediah]

Why the fuck was that not reviewed

It flicked the glove, but the deviation came off the elbow.

My stream on hesgol has disappeared

Back on again mate usually comes back after a few mins if goes off

 

[Boo]

Oh bugger. I thought it was just forearm, prior to the ultra-edge view.

TBF if it was that crap it should have been an easy review.

I think it was the shoulder of the bat. Should have reviewed but there’s no umpire’s call with those types of decisions which could be why he chose not to.

 

[Boo]

Oh bugger. But I thought it was forearm only, before the ultra-edge view.

 

[Salem Street South]

Anyone know can we request the extra half hour if a results possible? Or is that not available on the last day?

 

[Boo]

Looks like the Robert Croft School of Spin, here. The 'straight-un', the 'one that goes straight on', the 'right un'.

No, not on the 5th day. It'd be a bit unfair if you could get extra time on the last day.

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

Really need 1 more before tea if we are going to do it.

Bess is shite

He isn't but he's not had his best game. I think they might bring Leach in for the final test

 

[The Ghost of Arca]

This is exactly when we need a spinner to do what a spinner should do on a last day pitch. He has to do more here

 

[Salem Street South]

No, not on the 5th day. It'd be a bit unfair if you could get extra time on the last day.

Cheers, thought so. Yeah that’s true but when weather’s taken time out of the game I don’t think it’s all that unfair to get another 30 mins, to get a result.

Outside

 

[Boo]

Ooh, Bess is starting to show something.

 

[Doberman]

I think Bumble has lost the plot.

They've added overs onto yesterday + today, and they can still play up until 7pm. But there won't be extra time to get a result.
