Super Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 1 minute ago, Lanterne Rouge said: One of those that will be replayed over and over again. The commentator just referred to David Warner as one of Australia`s biggest weapons. Can`t disagree with that in fairness. Early days but will take some beating that catch this tournament.

Port Said Red Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 39 minutes ago, PHILINFRANCE said: Australia 5/1 chasing 201. David Warner has just been bowled, but try and have a look at his dismissal if you didn't see it live - off his bat, then his pad and then off the back of his bat before hitting the stumps. A "not your day" dismissal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted October 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Loving this! The bonus as well is that their nett run rate will take a pounding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just seen it, the weird thing is he never looked like he wasn't going to catch it. Both hands too, incredible judgment. It never ceases to amaze me what human beings are capable of, it will take a huge leap in technology to get a robot to do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game`s in Perth too and all the others are Melbourne/Sydney/Brisbane so most England fans are presumably basing themselves on the East Coast and are giving this one a miss?

I was only listening on TMS and it sounded an absolute farce. Yes , was crazy The rain wasn’t just drizzle but fair play the Zimbabweans didn’t make a fuss and got on with it. One of their seamers slipped badly on his follow through and badly injured his thigh . De Kocks demolition was something else mind The Zimbabweans then resorted to only using spin as (understandably) they didn’t want any more bowlers injured in what is only their first game of the World Cup Fielding and moving on the wet surface alone was a risk to injury What was also bizarre was that with the match almost won by SA and the rain beating down heavy , The Zimbabwe bowler turned to the Umpire with arms outstretched appearing to say ‘This is ridiculous’ At that point the Umpires decide to have a chat , and then take the players from the field In essence (Imho) yes it’s the World Cup and you want to try and have a result game , but it simply wasn’t fair on the Zimbabweans and , more importantly , there had been one injury and there was a constant danger of others Thats says everything really - that’s not on , and IMHO the Umpires pushed the line too far , in terms of safety and fairness, albeit trying to get a result game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn`t matter if they lost all their wickets Bizarre! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point late on ,after they’d gone off , and back on , in the rain , they were then all stood out in the pouring rain waiting for the latest recalculations before they could restart !
