True, that's a 4 in club cricket no doubt. Probably shows another fault in the Indian fielding mentality. Most other players, unless they were absolutely sure it was a 4, would have sprung to their feet and tried to whistle the ball in ASAP and let the TV cameras decide. Just a bizarre set of event all round.
He turns and then starts to jog a little and then constantly looks at Praveen and the ball before stopping after seeing Morgan.
He had a fleeting moment of uncertainty, jogged out a bit and set off to walk off with Morgan. I wouldn't call that seeking a fourth run. I saw someone before put out the ridiculous notion that Bell wouldn't have jogged off after a whole session if he wasn't attempting a fourth. He'd be high on emotion, just hitting a four, scoring a ton and putting England in a magic position. Of course he'd get a bit fired up and do more than meander off.
That is what i was referring to, when he turns and Jogs he sees Morgan on the other end not running and then he signals him with his left hand and looks at the fielder unsure before stopping.
Referring to say a fielder acting he didn't knew where the ball was for a while to fool the batsman into running and then running him out after quickly recovering?
It would be seen as bad sportsmanship but given out. In ODI cricket we already see the fake slides by the ring fielder just before the man in the deep collects the ball in as attempt at slight deception for the batsmen. No hard and fast rules for these things.
Just see 0.6 TO 0.7 Of the video i posted. There is something of a signal to Morgan confirming before he stops.
At 0.6 to 0.7 he pats his hand down as to ask Morgan or the Umpire whether it is OK to stop and stops after that.
Lets be honest, the essence of his post is not twaddle. I'm afraid to say that the cricket puritans of this forum do not represent the vast majority of people, even those at the grounds in England and India I bet.
I thought mind reading was your speciality? I never claimed anything without any evidence whatsoever based on mind reading.
I didn't bring it up
Give it a break ffs.
Tea wasn't called before the bails were taken off though. He hands over the sweater to him afterwards and hasn't removed the bails yet which is done after the official signal so there is no way to tell for sure.
Agree, the give away for Kumar is, when he eventually gets up off the floor, which he did very slowly and then locates the ball, he slowly walks to it and picks it up and gently throws it in, in the mean time Raina had gone to pick up the helmets for the end of the session.
He actually mentions the posters here though, so I don't get your argument.
The nub of his argument (lawyer court room technicality bull**** aside) was that whoever was on the wrong side of the run-out would have been 'outraged'. Whatever ground in the world, whatever country, if the home side was afflicted there would have been boos and scandal.
Ball wasn't dead though.
