How is Bumrah a flog? One of the nicest and down to earth guys ever. He’s no Siraj who runs down the wicket like he has his head cut off

I didn't call him a flog. I called Kohlli a flog. I said Bumrah get's special treatment.

 

[Saint12]

Kohli seems to have whiteline fever....seems a really nice bloke off the field.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

His 150 in the ashes was one of the worst innings of greater than 10 ever. Reminded me of Viv Richards getting 208 at the MCG and being dropped 8 times on the way. At least in Richards case he was hitting it so hard the catches were bursting through. Crawley's inside edges, edges through the slips etc just kept happening.

That innings reminded me of the 12th man song about Parore lol

Oh I see don’t agree on that but I see the point now

 

[grumbleguts]

Because someone has appealed and asked for a review. Why else?

It would only be automatically out if it is umpires call on DRS. Not saying it is right, just seems that you were suggesting that any leave striking the pads would be automatically out, unless I read it wrong.

‘When some kiwi prick hits a four off a snick, that’s Parore…’

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Very defensive field for Head. Thought they’d fight fire with fire with Bumrah on

Just change Kiwi to Pom and Parore to Crawley and you have that innings

Special treatment in what way? The blokes a champion bowler, so no idea in what way he gets special treatment.

And boy isn't Steve Smith an ugly batsmen to watch at the moment....

 

[JimmyBC]

Couldn't give two hoots how ugly Smith is batting just stay there all day m8

 

[grumbleguts]

Oh I see don’t agree on that but I see the point now

You don't agree that a person who bends his arm greater than 45 degrees and isn't called isn't getting special treatment? OK. Push your arm against a wall and hyperextend it and see of you can bend it (hyperextended) beyond 5 degrees. And that's against a wall with something pushing back. He gets special treatment.

You are reading it wrong. That's what others are suggesting. A ball from Akash in the last over is a perfect scenario. Head got his foot to the ball that was missing off stump by about a foot. He decided not to play and allowed it to strike his pad knowing it was missing the stumps. What some people suggest, for some unknown reason, is if a player decides not to play a shot, it should be automatically out. That's NOT what the LBW rule says.

 

[CakeEater]

Question when will joe the Cameraman tell 6 and out that they cant play guitar and cant sing.

 

[Cmarsh]

Friendly reminder to the commenters that Alex Carey never actually played a senior AFL game.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Ahh yes, the pull out when something 100m away has happened.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

You get Richard Chee Quee out of your damn mouth.

Never thought I would ever write this, but at least Davey Warner watches what’s happening and tells us about it. Couldn’t give a flying fig about Lee’s boy band.

Pretty sure that is what no one has suggested. All I said was that I would like no umpires call when not playing a shot. So if it’s clipping and you haven’t played a shot that it would be out and the batsman has forfeited the benefit of the doubt. In the same way that not playing a shot forfeits the rule for impact outside off. It’s not a rule that’s ever going to change so it matters little but perhaps read what has actually been suggested.

Yes, he was captain of the Reserves team.

Niche reference there TPA, i thought you were going to name Bad Mcnamara for a second

I was going to give it a crack but at my age that is a recipe for snapping it in half.

lol, special needs treatment, in terms of how he gets treated by you.

 

[k31th]

beautifully controlled over the 1st slip's head from Travis

 

[Outtatym]

The obsession with the band from fox is weird
