The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Why would we want a new ball when this one is reversing so well?
Craig Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Yeah, definitely. There's not many occasions you'd get to witness an Ashes victory at Lords in the flesh. I'm in this situation too, but my train won't arrive into London until 10. I could go, miss the first ball, miss the wicket, and see no cricket at all.

I don't think it's a problem we're going to have to worry about to be honest. This match will be over tonight.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 I don't think it's a problem we're going to have to worry about to be honest. This match will be over tonight. Four overs left- You sure?
marko Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Four overs left- You sure? Don't forget we can claim the extra half hour to force the result. In reality there's about 11 overs left.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Don't forget we can claim the extra half hour to force the result. In reality there's about 11 overs left. I didn't realise this
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 My mistake- I stupidly didn't realise I'd paused/rewound briefly so was about 1 minute behind the live play
StanSP Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Finally England get the job done! Last wicket stand once again delaying the inevitable. Nevertheless, hugely convincing win by 347 runs.
Guest Bilo Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Disappointed for the lads who were due to go to Lord's tomorrow, but Australia have been embarrassingly dreadful in this Test. I just don't see them winning a Test on this form, only a change in the weather can save them from a whitewash without massive improvements.
ScouseFox Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Bell and Root scored more than Australia in this test. So easy.
Brainy Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 Does Snicko take a while to generate or something? If not why does the 3rd umpire not use it for reviews? It's a brilliant piece of technology which has often proved a decision correct/incorrect well after the decision had been made.

It's a brilliant piece of technology which has often proved a decision correct/incorrect well after the decision had been made. Yes, it takes a while to synchronise the sound with the image. Although they are currently working on a new snicko that is available within 5 seconds, which would be used as part of DRS.
Munshi Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 What was the song that was played with that Summing up video right now?
notnow john Posted 21 July 2013 Author Posted 21 July 2013 Just been watching the presentations, was that Jeff Thompson or Sir Les Paterson?
Corky Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 This is part of the reason I don't want technology in football. Agreed. The DRS has generally been good for the game, overturning errors and often proving the umpires right (the Umpire's Call facility is an excellent one, taking into account how tight some decisions can be) but it isn't faultless. I fear for when the first error, or inconclusive call, is made with the technology in football. It won't be brushed under the carpet, that's for sure.
ADK Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 I don't see why an error from technology is worse than an error from the ref.
purpleronnie Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 I don't see why an error from technology is worse than an error from the ref. because technology is supposed to help not hinder.
Corky Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 I don't see why an error from technology is worse than an error from the ref. The technology is going to eradicate errors or confirm doubts (or is supposed to). When that goes wrong, what do we turn to?
I am Rod Hull Posted 21 July 2013 Posted 21 July 2013 The Aussies are having a rough time with the DRS but I coundn`t give a fook Anything that winds them up and makes them cry is ok by me.... Aussie tears taste like honey and I want to lick them from their dopey retarded looking eyes and fat sun burnt cheeks...
