2019 4th Ashes Test 2019 Old Trafford

Is Stokes in next?

 

[Austoraisetheurn]

Alright. Lets go to work and get these 8 wickets.

 

[010203]

Are England playing for the draw? Do they think they can win?

If they have a draw mindset that's advantage Aussies

I don't think they're good enough to bat 98 overs and get a draw.

 

[A Pom]

Is Stokes in next?

Yes.

 

[Dez!]

Hazlewood getting nibble.

Warney shut up.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

What's with the bronx cheers?

 

[Cold Sober]

How many words come out of Warnies mouth in one over, from his first to now , he's out of control.
My two favorite cricketers of all time are Chappelli and Warnie yet they would have to be the biggest dribblers of shit God ever put breath into.

 

[HBF]

Evening everyone

Good luck quoting that law.

The on field umpires aren't governed by the DRS regulations, they're governed by the ICC playing conditions and the laws of the game which state if a ball would've hit the wickets then it should be out. That doesn't change at all for them dependent on DRS regulations. If they fail to apply that correctly then they've made a wrong decision.

You're just plain wrong as the Decision Review System is within the ICC playing conditions you mentioned... here's the laws if you want to look them up for yourself:

here's the pertinent parts in that PDF.

3.4.5.3 (Impact) "Umpire’s Call
Some part of the ball was inside the Impact Zone, but the centre of the ball was outside the Impact Zone, with the further sub-category of ‘Umpire’s Call (off side)’ where the centre of the ball was to the off side of the Impact Zone and the bowler’s end umpire communicates to the third umpire that"

3.4.6.3 (Wicket) "Umpire’s Call
The ball was hitting the wicket, but the centre of the ball was not inside the Wicket Zone"

5.11 "Umpire’s Call is the concept within the DRS under which the on-field decision of the bowler’s end umpire shall stand, which shall apply under the specific circumstances set out in paragraphs 3.4.5 and 3.4.6 of Appendix D, where the ball"

England's version of catman there on the balcony

 

[HBF]

Bloody hell there are weirdo's in the UK

 

[Coasters7]

Yeah don’t want this going to the last session. They’ll pull out all the time wasting BS

 

[Austoraisetheurn]

Australia just has to play the % game.

The results will come.

 

[010203]

Roy will do well to still be in at drinks.

I don't know if the cricket approach is similar, but the recent changes to come through the Tennis Australia Coaching Development is a tendency to coach for instant success and not for long term technical soundness. I'd rather my students have a strong technical grounding first, before working on getting more balls into the court.
It's a bit of the 'everyone must have success' culture creeping into sports coaching

Sounds like your approach is a good one and more like how South African batting coaches work with their kids.

In cricket kids usually want to use their bottom hand and slog. While there are some really good Australian coaches - like Michael Slater's coach Warren Smith from Wagga - who work very hard on defence with kids from an early age - the central program is just let them slog and have fun. The cream will rise to the top. Lots of first grade bats in Australia have never been coached. That is not the case in South Africa.

Australia has obviously had a lot of success for many years but right now there are some very ordinary defensive techniques in that side except for Labuschagne and Smith.

So where's the bit that overrules the law saying if the ball is hitting the stumps the umpire should be giving it out (plus the other conditions of course).

 

[ams4crows]

Not sure if Roy has the patience to just block all day

 

[BG32]

No way Jason Roy can block and leave all day

 

[HBF]

This.
Just do the basics well

 

[Dez!]

Both Denly and Roy looking shithouse.

Down leg.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Stick your ****ing finger up you twat!

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

If that was Australia batting, the umpire would have no hesitation in raising the finger.

 

[Neese]

I have normal channel nine on Foxtel and they’ve had the ashes on it for the last 4 days so I’ve been able to watch it.

But today they aren’t showing the 5th on normal channel nine and Foxtel doesn’t have gem

I'm on Foxtel though through my iq2

 

[Big Cox 88]

Umps aren't going to lift their fingers for LBW all day.

 

[ams4crows]

That appeal was pretty desperate....
