Did Butt and Asif bet on Broad making a century or something?

Welshred · « **Reply #7081 on:** June 11, 2021, 11:45:03 am »

300 up

Welshred · « **Reply #7082 on:** June 11, 2021, 11:49:35 am »

This looks close

voodoo ray · « **Reply #7083 on:** June 11, 2021, 11:49:52 am »

well I thought it sounded like jimmy hit that but clearly not, and that's the end. 303

Welshred · « **Reply #7084 on:** June 11, 2021, 11:50:25 am »

Out, England all out for 303

Welshred · « **Reply #7085 on:** June 11, 2021, 11:51:00 am »

Lots of cloud cover, expecting England to swing this

Legs · « **Reply #7086 on:** June 11, 2021, 11:56:22 am »

303 is a par score so its game on.

We did ok this morning to get up to this score you always want more but 300 in England you are always in the game.

But not early on, as NZ found

Latham gone, absolutely plumb in front. Broad with a celebappeal

Yorkykopite · « **Reply #7089 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:35:21 pm »

Broad has drawn level with Courtney Walsh. Gargantuan effort.

He’s only a couple of ducks behind Walsh as well.

Welshred · « **Reply #7091 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:41:52 pm »

He's ahead of him now, Conway gone!

Welshred · « **Reply #7092 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:42:33 pm »

Soft signal not out?

Welshred · « **Reply #7093 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:43:00 pm »

Fingers 100% underneath that

Kekule · « **Reply #7094 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:43:39 pm »

Ought to be out, that.

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #7095 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:43:44 pm »

Looked blatantly in his fingers to me.

Welshred · « **Reply #7096 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:43:56 pm »

That is a fucking staggering decision, that's out

Robinred · « **Reply #7097 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:44:04 pm »

That’s a poor decision imho.

Legs · « **Reply #7098 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:44:12 pm »

100% out

Kekule · « **Reply #7099 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:44:28 pm »

That’s ridiculous.

koptommy93 · « **Reply #7100 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:44:37 pm »

He got his fingers underneath it, should be out.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #7101 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:45:57 pm »

that's out.

and this 'soft signal' nonsense needs to go. there's nothing wrong with the umpire just saying they don't know.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #7102 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:53:25 pm »

Yeah, in real time, and even in slow motion that looked out. When they pause and zoom in it becomes more difficult to tell but I’d say that was out.

Agree that sort signals need to be binned.

Kekule · « **Reply #7103 on:** June 11, 2021, 12:59:22 pm »

Hussain questioning whether it’s important that bowlers look where they are bowling in the delivery stride as a split screen of Broad and Anderson shows Anderson looking at the ground and Broad barely looking forward at the point of release.

They’ve got over 1100 Test wickets between them Nas. I think that’s reasonable evidence to suggest that it’s not.

When they tried to rectify Jimmy's action so that he kept looking at the wicket he went to pot for 12 months.

Regulation slip catch put down by root.

Stone didn’t deserve that. He’s bowled a couple of beauties.

Joseph-Immanuel Queen · « **Reply #7106 on:** June 11, 2021, 01:53:54 pm »

Oh Joe. So frustrating!

Ball is starting to do bits now

Robinred · « **Reply #7108 on:** June 11, 2021, 02:32:45 pm »

Kiwis having the rub of the green with that Conway decision; Root’s dropping that dolly exacerbates things.

Annoying.

It's physically impossible not to lean forward and listen closely to every word Michael Holding says:

We’re getting the run around from New Zealand A in English conditions.

Can we say our score is under par yet?

This is England A and a half, and NZ are probably the one country not phased by our conditions in slight mitigation.

Sky put the batting averages of this New Zealand side up earlier - it's still an extremely good team. They've got some great strength in depth at the moment, which we're really lacking.

Welshred · « **Reply #7114 on:** June 11, 2021, 04:11:58 pm »

They're literally playing us as a warm up for the World Test Championship, why are people still thinking they're not a good team? They've been consistently good for at least 4 years now.

We have/had to get used to this ball which, to be fair, is great. Just keeps going. I don't think many teams are as diligent as NZ at looking after the ball either. It swings in slightly different conditions than we are used to, in different phases as well.

Trump's tiny tiny hands · « **Reply #7116 on:** June 11, 2021, 04:14:11 pm »

Well that was unexpected. Conway just gave his wicket away.
