showing both sides now haha A Pom... what's your argument now?

Blatantly showing the other side of the old ball was very shiny with all the markings intact. I'm not sure this proves the point you think it does...

 

[Anzacpaul]

Commentators openly laughing about it. A Pom still arguing about the "rough side"?

 

[Santana]

You just have to cry enough to get a newer ball. That's all guys

 

[Tassieboy]

19 extras. We will need every single one.

 

[11kgm]

The ball is suddenly swinging

Must be the good bowlers

 

[Westend]

umm reckon the light might come into play here

 

[hoopla]

I think that last photo of the two ball is clear that there was a massive difference. If the replacement ball was really the same age, then it must have come from a first innings on a green pitch.

 

[Plugger35]

Can't blame Bairstow for that, he needed to be 10 feet tall to stop that.

 

[tigs2010]

Will take the extra run but 4 byes would have been funnier

 

[10Dulkar]

I'd love to 88kph fully fit never mind bowling 88mph with a bruised heel

[LukeParkerno1]

Bruised heel apparently

So they say

 

[Tassieboy]

Game, set…

 

[k31th]

Are we crashing the site or is it just me?

BigFooty is struggling bigtime.

and of course Labs is out

 

[The Tilt]

The rule should be that you get the ball in a worse condition that's most similar to the one you're replacing.

 

[RookiePick]

Labu. You plonker

 

[Balls In]

Massive deviation off the seam

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I can't explain something you've made up in your head. You'll need a psychiatrist for that.

You’re a genuine plonker.

 

[chickenonachain]

What about the seam.......

That’s right one is white and the other one is brown

 

[ams4crows]

Work through the new ball and the umps just give them a new one

Farcical

Certainly did not look like a ball that had been bowled 30 odd overs before hand.....

 

[11kgm]

The 5 wides was a good thing? How

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Far out Alan typifies his tour

 

[AJ_2000]

Rubbish keeping Byestow. Carey would have stopped that

 

[jackn]

It's the 3rd and 4th quadrant of the ball that they're not showing. Ball change was totally fair. Honestly the amount of people replying to him is ridiculous. You're not going to win an argument with someone that biased or thick.

Marnus... What's the actual weather forecast btw?
