WHY THE **** DID THEY NOT REFER THAT?

Wasn't really any clear evidence either way, it barely registered with Hotspot. Would've gone with the batsman imo

You reckon there was enough evidence to overturn that decision? I'm not sure tbh. Quite possible the benefit of the doubt would have stayed with the batsman given how weak the hotspot signal was.

 

[Burgey]

What's his typical MO? Strikes me as having a hint of Kasprowicz.

Perfect MO for English conditions IMO

 

[Ruckus]

Think Bird's biggest strength is the bounce he gets. He's tall, but not crazy tall, and gets more bounce for his height than most would.

Well, we'll never know will we?

 

[ajdude]

Just thought you'd throw that one out there, eh?

no

did Taylor just say bird plays for nsw

Hanging out for a Kumar century on the back of Johnson's pies.

Bird and/or Sid to get 5-fers

Well, I think you'd have to have some massive cojones to refer that given it was obvious it hit the thigh guard. There wasn't even the slightest interest shown in reviewing it, so it would have been opportunistic to say the least and, therefore, not a good review (even if the review would have been upheld).

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Surely we're going to get the McGrath/Pigeon/Bird jokes coming soon.

 

[Ruckus]

Johnson really is the leader of this attack.

 

[Spikey]

#leaderofthepack gets the big fish #tastin

 

[morgieb]

Got him!

 

[Jayzamann]

I'm trying to criticise this so badly but holy poo that moved.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Terrible shot.

 

[TumTum]

Good pace, no movement, angling across the right-hander. Johnson is Dilshan's dream bowler.

Good tastin'

 

[Top_Cat]

haha, Dilshan. Can take the cricketer out of the park.....

 

[Johnners]

Johnson

take that til dil

 

[Ruckus]

Surely we're going to get the McGrath/Pidgeon/Bird jokes coming soon.

....cricinfo

Chin: "One look at Bird and you know he's made for Test cricket. We lost Pigeon, but we've got Bird..."

 

[chaminda_00]

Never good seeing the Sanga stare as you walk off. Dilshan knows he ****ed up there, shocking shot selection.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Did Johnson just swing it outside the waca
