Umpires on bcci payroll

 

[Spikey]

Jeez that one is closer

 

[ImpatientLime]

big asian conspiracy on show

 

[RightArmMystery]

That's a shocker from Raza. Not been great after some superb decisions in the last game

 

[cascade]

Gill being more sensible with his reviews here than Paine was.

 

[Stefan9]

Does anything get said to mister Brook if England manage to lose here.

Umpires on bcci payroll

More like Asian payroll

 

[trundler]

Atkinson has to Laxman this home now because Smith needed to feel bad on ball. Poor fella.

 

[ImpatientLime]

tongue getting fined by management for leaving one outside off

 

[King Kane]

Looks like the umpires want an early finish with how trigger happy they have been so far today.

Paine, as it turned out, had some problems with responsibility

 

[ImpatientLime]

smith and bethell are getting violated in aus

umpires play golf too

India has the edge but this will probably boil down to luck. England will throw their bats and swing and miss a lot and the cricket gods will determine what happens.

only 3 bowler attack. Their main bowler benched on day 1. this sport desperately needs substitutions, fielders risking their limbs on the boundary, who are often the main headline fast bowlers. Why should star bowlers risks their limbs, its not worth the risk, substitution will make the game fairer.

Every major team sport has subs(and those are without injuries!)

England are soft.

NZ had TWO bowlers injured against Zimbabwe who couldn't bowl (O'Rourke and Nathan Smith) and didn't complain

Bethell and Smith can take more blame.

 

[Burgey]

Well this is quite an exciting finish

 

[Spikey]

goodness me

Sky could carry on the live broadcast, but what about in other countries?

In SA and India would be fine with dedicated cricket channels holding the main rights. Unsure about the other cricket nations.
