33rd Match - England v Bangladesh (9th March)

[Gnske]

What? Butler walked in and faced Shakib and Mortaza up first.

They've just run out of overs and he has batted really, really well.

Literally didn't though. Easy to be an armchair goon here but I seriously would have bowled Shakib out for the squeeze and pressure on Mr Ice (even though they have been milking singles easily here) instead of giving Buttler the early Easter treat.

It's good batting though i'll admit, Buttler's done fantastically.

Nevermind actually, I'm a gormless idiot, way to go Taskin.

Moores is gonna kill the 4th umpire here.

 

[turnstyle]

I thought they changed the rules not long ago to stop this from happening?

 

[Daemon]

@Jesse_Hogan Yep, Jesse - that's the tweak they made. A bouncing bat is just bad luck.

 

[Spikey]

Umpire doesn't know the ****ing rules i'm fuming.

I think when this happened in the BBL, it was a Thunder who got screwed over.


Basically I'm saying England are just like the Sydney Thunder.

Broad to bop some over mid on

 

[Athlai]

FMD shot.

If only the umpire was as cool under pressure as Woakes.

 

[Swingpanzee]

sheesh that's such a harsh way to get out

 

[sledger]

Anti-England conspiracy!

 

[hendrix]

Yeah, so this and if you're running after the crease with both feet in the air (happened to Vettori v England in 08) means you're not out.

think that could be a similar thing to having control of the ball. If you've actually run in you're in control. If you're sliding your bat you don't have control.

 

[viriya]

Simon Fry is an Aussie. Explains it.

 

[social]

He was out but ridiculous rule

 

[Spark]

shoulder of the bat looks in but regardless what a ****ed rule he's grounded it once

agree w/ this

 

[Antihippy]

BTW, who says it's only the associates who are able to produce close games?

 

[cnerd123]

hahahahah yeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ahahahahahahahah

No idea how that was out but clearly the third umpire has a sense of occasion.

DARE WE DREAM

****ing Woakes still out there.

 

[Zinzan]

Broad needs to take the lolly-pop out of his mouth & *** man-up with the bat. No being a scared little kitty-kat today Stuart

 

[Jono]

Lol Peter Moores. Cop it on the nut you useless ****.

How do you differentiate in the ruling though? Surely it's "if you're in once you're in permanently"?

Stupid rule & dubious decision.
