*Official* 4th Test at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, 4 - 8 Mar 2021

Thought there'd be a decent chance it hit him outside the line and whether it was bouncing over the stumps. Genuine 50/50 for mine.

Yeah I was like "ehhhhh I'm not sure about that". No real problem with it being given out, but definitely in keeping with the pattern of this series that it was.

I don't really mind that - I think an umpire having a fairly consistent interpretation of the LBW law is a good thing, regardless of what their interpretation might be - but it is contributing to the apparent dominance of LBW dismissals in this series for sure.

 

[Burgey]

Anderson very expensive this session

 

[Arachnodouche]

Loving this pitch.

Superb Test match wicket.

 

[Burgey]

Bess has been crap here

He’s kept india in the game tbh

 

[Stapel]

Nah, first look it looked plumb.

Did you really think the ball hit Rohit clearly in line? I think that's odd.

Yeah, coz Rohit never moves back and across a lot. You will never see him play outside the line of the stumps usually.

 

[Pothas]

Massive wicket. Might not even get a lead from here and that'll probably be curtains.

It really wouldn't be. We know England could be bowled out for anything.

Still really enjoying just being in the game here.

Judgement by reputation, my friend!

Lol he was not outside the line even when he finished mate. Live, that just looked out. And Nitin Menon has not been wrong at all this series.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Stokes needs to go half a size down on the Adidas.

 

[honestbharani]

@cnerd123 is probably angry but I just dont see Rohit succeeding batting like a Pujara. Maybe for a session or so but once you are set, you gotta bat like yourself.

Anderson and Stokes showing why they are great Test cricketers tbh.

I must say I don't exactly know the laws on this: the middle of the ball, and the outer side of the off-stump? Or the whole of the ball inside the line of the stumps?

i don't blame the shot, i blame you and @Daemon for jinxing things

It's okay to give that out but it wasnt plumb by any stretch of imagination.

 

[cnerd123]

HB jinxed Nitin Menon too

 

[silentstriker]

...AAAAND this is why the DRS exists.

 

[Pothas]

I just can't be dealing Ashwin making runs.

 

[honestbharani]

HB jinxed Nitin Menon too

Stokes and Anderson have been excellent too, tbh.

Looked plumb does not = was plumb though.
