tin Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) That’s a quality ball from Cummins, but this game was lost by the way we batted in our first innings. That’s the difference between us chasing 170 and 370. Mind you, even 170 looks unattainable now. Edited July 1, 2023 by tin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got tickets for days one and two at Old Trafford. My second daughter is due 10 days after that jolly boys’ outing. Can’t believe I’ve fought so hard to go. It’ll be an easy decision not to with the series lost. Edited July 1, 2023 by tin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - the craic is still the craic and it’s a great day out. But it’s painful when we are getting out arsed handed to us on a plate and there’s lots of Aussies around you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to have split opinion a bit so wondering if there will be a rule clarification but as far as I’m concerned it’s out. Some fielders throw the ball in the air 0.5 seconds after they catch it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 (edited) You can’t ground the ball, at least that’s what I was taught as a boy. You must have something under the ball, simple as that. If I’d done that playing club cricket, I’d signal it as not out in the same way I would signal a six if I took a catch and stepped over the rope.

You can ground the ball after you are deemed to have been in control of it. He had something under the ball when he caught it. I’m not gonna die on this hill though. It’s a bit subjective. 4 minutes ago, RoystonFoote'snephew said: I agree. It was out for me and more so than the catch Smith took to dismiss Root in the 1st innings. I agree.

It’s only deemed a catch once you’re in complete control of your body which he clearly wasn’t so not out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m guessing there will be clarification. Perfectly happy to accept if I’m wrong. I’ve seen similar things given as out which is why I’m guessing the Aussies didn’t even consider it as not out. Certainly splitting opinion on WhatsApp groups! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
