The Cricket Thread

Thought the most likely outcome was a draw with a small chance of England win....a few wickets ago! Really struggling for runs now.

 

Windies must be favourites now .

 

Windies chasing 200. Wicket looks dead, they shouldn’t have too much trouble. Still questioning to be answered about the England top order, and the bowling selection.

 

Target for Windies is 200. Kind of score to make it interesting.

 

Doubt it’ll be too difficult for them. Clearly England were suckered jnto believing that rumour that the Windies can’t bat. Unlike most of the England team .....

 

Campbell retires hurt.

 

And there goes Braithwaite.

 

7/2.

 

Erm...

 

Archer causing WI all sorts of problems.

 

That’s why I don’t gamble, Tom!

 

3 down!

 

27-3 + a man retired hurt .

 

Oh, so close to a 4th wicket.

 

That looked very close to at least 50% of the ball hitting. They need the equivalent of the GLT graphic, showing exactly how close it was to being a goal/wicket.

 

Regardless, I don't give WI much chance of getting to 200. That ball turned a mile.

 

My stepdaughter came round for a coffee in the garden and I missed all the fun!

 

LBW technology has degrees of error, so depends on umpire’s call. If he’d given it out, it would have been out. Doesn’t help to know how close the decision was...them’s the rules and everyone plays by them.

 

When did they change the rules regarding runners?

 

01/10/2011 if this is right .

or if you prefer .
