*Official* New Zealand in England 2015

[Stapel]

Just shaving the stump there. I figured it looked to take a bigger chunk.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So close to missing. Roooooooooooooooot

 

[OverratedSanity]

Well ****

 

[Meridio]

[insert rant about umpires that's completely honestly and totally justified]

He was quite far forward, drifted in and didn't turn at all. On reflection i reckon the umpire might reckon he made a duff decision there.

 

[Cabinet96]

Southee to slog NZ to victory.

 

[Niall]

Is Henry injured?

Why would you send in Southee a slogger ahead of him??

 

[Zinzan]

Feel for Anderson, most modern day umpires wouldn't have given that.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

I'm not sure i'd have given it but don't miss the ****ing straight ones.

 

[Cabinet96]

Feel for Anderson, most modern day umpires wouldn't have given that.

Modern umpires are definitely more likely to give front foot LBWs off spinners than old time ones.

 

[greg]

I'm not sure i'd have given it but don't miss the ****ing straight ones.

Yeah that's ultimately the point. Don't give them a chance to give you. And he did miss it by a mile.

 

[Furball]

Yeah, devastated that a batsman who's padded up to a ball hitting the stumps was given lbw. An absolute travesty.

 

[Moss]

Ha ha. What is it with these marginal calls?

Well, Corey can take some satisfaction from that innings, was Stokes-lite. Didn't back him against this attack and the conditions, but he does seem able to get by a lot on sheer self-belief.

 

[greg]

Worth the decision just to hear Ian Smith complaining though (whilst obviously claiming he isn't )

 

[Zinzan]

Yeah, devastated that a batsman who's padded up to a ball hitting the stumps was given lbw. An absolute travesty.

Not a travesty, but a shame for Anderson.

 

[Howe_zat]

Spark and I on comms for the finish

cricketweb is on Mixlr. Mixlr is a simple way to share live audio ...

 

[Furball]

Not a travesty, but a shame for Anderson.

If only he'd used that wooden thing in his hand.

 

[Meridio]

Craig's going to get out in the same way. Thrusting the front pad at it.

 

[Zinzan]

If only he'd used that wooden thing in his hand.

yeah

 

[Cabinet96]

Why is he driving at that?
