Yes, if they were a certain distance down the pitch then they shouldn't be given out. Went out of window with DRS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was never a need to change and chase runs. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, and I loved him as a player. But he was someone who could/would drop anchor and you don't think of him has a dasher . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was - it’s a shocker in my opinion, 3m to travel and has hit him on the roll and he’s given out. I’m not having that.

The more i look at it the worse it gets, he was bowling at 85mph, there is no way that balls hitting the stumps and i won’t be convinced otherwise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love him as a bowler when he first came in to the side. When he bowled 83-84. Bowling 77-78 is little threat. In terms of him as a person, he sent those tweets when he was 19 but other than that I’ve no idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just not a threat, unless it’s the first weekend of May in England! That trim aswell… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they aren’t near to the best English fast bowler of all time and wouldn’t expect them to be. Jimmy wasn’t all that hot at some of their ages either though 2 minutes ago, bearded_red said: He’s 30 now. Blimey.

Port Said Red Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 Hopefully we will come back fresh and clean up the tail quickly in the morning, then crack on with the bat. Doesn't have to be a big score, from what I am reading I can't imagine they will want to chase 300/325 on days 4 and 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
