Robbored Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Can anyone explain why if a ball pitches outside leg it can’t be given out LBW? Ive never understood the rationale behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Pink ball test wicket given 'average' rating pink ball contributed but it was a shambles of a pitch that seam bowlers couldn't bowl on if they'd needed to due to craters so quickly. Bare in mind excessive spin early in the game gets a 'poor' rating and you have 'below average' between that. Of course they were never going to give the pitch a poor rating given the new stadium so it didn't face sanctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) For banter Somerset should contact the ECB and ask to have our points deduction removed if that's 'average' as our pitch was better than that with no time to prepare it Edited March 15, 2021 by Lrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was to stop negative bowling IF you needed to really slow the run rate down(Olden days Test Matches) they would bowl around the wicket aiming just outside leg stump and stick7/8 fielders on the leg side 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England won the series 4-1 and the Aussies were not best pleased and fired off telegraphs to the MCC about the Bodyline tactics.......it’s fascinating story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 It's not just the hitting when Buttler gets going, it's the pacing of the innings that sets him apart. No panic, just keep things ticking over and picking the bad balls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 I'm coming round to the idea of playing Joe Root in the T20 WC as a front line spinner and batting down the order, would rather him than Moeen Ali if we need a 2nd spinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hmmm. I am not at all convinced that SKY was out there. I suspect there would be major complaints had that been an England batsman given out following an on-field 'soft' call of out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean its no different than LBW and umpires call when you see a big chunk of the ball inline but not all of it and the ball cannoning into middle stump. Its about trying to keep as much of the decision making on the pitch. If everything went to the third umpire you may as well just remove standing umpires and allow players to refer LBW shouts straight to hawkeye and wides to be called by third umpire with a buzzer.

As the commentary guys were saying that boundary catches are not helped much by zooming in as that can obscure the picture which is pretty much what happened with the Malan catch. One angle looked out the other as if the ball had touched the grass. Bumble was spot on when he said the third umpire should review that type of catch in real time.
