[ajdude]

yeah that missed by a bee's dick, shouldn't lose a review really

 

[Spikey]

seriously what the **** is healy going on about with 50/50's has he not been listening the past 3 years

 

[Prince EWS]

Wait, so does that mean that Asad Rauf gave it not out on the basis of it hitting him outside the line?

Nup, doesn't work like that unfortunately.

 

[Jono]

Hope Alviro top scores this series just for PEWS

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Nup, doesn't work like that unfortunately.

Then it is ****ing stupid.

If Rauf thought it hit him inside the line, then umpire's call means it hit him inside the line.

 

[Jayzamann]

Hope that some of these calls go Australias way during their innings.

Y'know, on day 3.

 

[Viscount Tom]

I hope he bans you just for saying you want Virus to score runs tbh.

Surely if Rauf's only issue was whether it hit him on the toe or the bat first, he should be given out? Does the system work that way?

Jees. That's outdated thinking even by the icc's standard. The right decision was made in the end.

Yeah this is a good point.

(you were due one)

 

[Burgey]

Never mind that. I said bacon infused bourbon ffs!

Jesus, no work this arvo.

Bacon. And. Bourbon.

FMD best thing ever.

So tempting.

**** doesn't need anyone cheering him on, he's lucky enough.

 

[ajdude]

but really hasn't the rule been like that the whole time? what are they going on about the rule change, before if it was an umpires call, it wouldn't have been overturned, so what's changed?

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Jees. That's outdated thinking even by the icc's standard. The right decision was made in the end.

Humour me.

How is it outdated to say that where the umpire determines that the ball hits a guy in line, gives it not out for other reasons and then it turns out that it is umpire's call when it hits him in line?

 

[Prince EWS]

I'm referring to Jono ftr.

There are slightly more instances of umpire's call now; that's all.

They've moved where they measure it from off stump.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Tbh I think they should remove the playing a shot element to the LBW rule especially given how a lot of batsmen hide the bat behind their leg and really ain't playing a shot. That and it means goons like Virus get chance to score.

 

[Prince EWS]

You could have a good time playing a drinking game based on the commentators using the word howler. Regret turning them on tbh.
