5th Ashes Test England v Australia July 27-31 1930hrs @ The Oval

[DapperDon]

Because after this the will forget about it, Ive never heard them cover the W league ever

The fake faux interest is annoying as hell

Just don't watch, it's easy for a simpleton like yourself.

Jimmy is off maybe he's injured as well

 

[Neese]

Which England bowler is off now for a rest?

Anderson. More ****ing substitute fielders.

 

[bird_man]

Because you have all these people who give 0 *s about football suddenly caring about football

Whoah, people getting caught up in the excitement of a massive event in the country

Where's the old man yells at cloud meme?

"4.5 Ball lost or becoming unfit for play

If, during play, the ball cannot be found or recovered or the umpires agree that it has become unfit for play through normal use, the umpires shall replace it with a ball which has had wear comparable with that which the previous ball had received before the need for its replacement. When the ball is replaced, the umpire shall inform the batters and the fielding captain."

 

[ibd77]

Even the English blokes acknowledge it's a brand spanker now aswell

Good, they can have it for 80 overs now.

 

[DapperDon]

LBWs are always speculative by the bowling side but are made by a team decision.

Batsmen who instantly review when hit on the back pad in front of middle or smashed the cover off it and been caught behind are selfish.

But it’s not like it’s a one off, Watto has been a running gag for years on doing the same thing, yet saying anything against Khawaja burning reviews gets condemnation? He’s reviewed his last 4 dismissals and all have been lost reviews. Only ones he hasn’t reviewed were when he holed out or had his stumps uprooted…

Ok so it's different because England.

Thanks eddie

I swear all you do is complain in every single thread

 

[Joffaboy]

I am as biased as any Aussie, but I have seen a ball change like this occur quite a few times.
Maybe the conditions are a bit warmer today as well, which helps it swing.

Almost hope it is 2-2 so I can see this

Mate they'll change it again 5 overs now

The number of Ashes Nasser and Atherton both won:

lol

Rightly so. 2 duds

 

[Moonwatcher]

Why couldn't Pope be playing

 

[Peter Bixley]

The number of Ashes Nasser and Atherton both won:

lol

I'd rather they'd won some than some of these turds fielding at the Oval currently.

 

[ABAB]

The ball was given to them shiny on 1 side, just like the one it replaced yesterday.

I said more shiner so how is that "comparable" (are you looking through your bias eyes), isn't the umpire meant to pick the same condition for the replacement ball?

 

[King Elvis]

The whole ball change tactic is one of many examples why England preaching about the Spirit of Cricket is the funniest thing.

They are the ultimate hypocrites and either they know it and don't care, or they are just too stupid to see it.

Either way, I'm not interested in listening to English lectures about the Spirit of Cricket.

Biggest hypocritical flog of a team I can remember.

Cannot wait for them to go to India and get embarrassed by Jadeja and Ashwin, and listen to their bullshit excuses and tell us the results don't matter anyway.

Bairstow loves carrying on like a pork chop doesn’t he

And eating pork chops.

 

[Belnakor]

Anderson. More ******* substitute fielders.

Completely pulling the piss. I thought there was a change to playing conditions after 2005 but evidentially not.

 

[The King!]

 

[dumb]

Couldn't just get on top in the game and stay there, no

hold me

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hasn’t swung for 3 balls surely a new ball is due

You’re a legit twat mate

What are the rules?

 

[A Pom]

Yes, just a coincidence one didn't move for hours and this one is going sideways

I'm not sure I recall the same complaints when Australia got a ball change at Headingley and saw a massive increase in swing...

A ball that is out of shape/almost out of shape will swing less than a perfect sphere.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Genuinely thought Chris Martin had gone bald then

Just look at their history and it's pretty easy to see how they can carry on that way. It's a sense of entitlement that they should be able to do as they please, take what they want, and everybody else should bow down to them.
