The People's Hero Posted 14 February 2015 Posted 14 February 2015 Don't forget as well that captain marvel has to be accommodated in his preferred batting position, hence everything must work around that.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 14 February 2015 Posted 14 February 2015 Mitchell Marsh had 6 wickets for 290 runs in ODIs prior to today. Says it all.
leicsmac Posted 14 February 2015 Posted 14 February 2015 It was a good ball but he must have known it was coming, he is incredibly susceptible to the yorker. I've seen smaller gates at Buckingham Palace. Not sure about that. Everything was set for the short ball and Broad is susceptible to that too. Either way, it would have brought down far batter batsmen.
The People's Hero Posted 14 February 2015 Posted 14 February 2015 It was a good ball but he must have known it was coming, he is incredibly susceptible to the yorker. I've seen smaller gates at Buckingham Palace. His all round batting is worse. I would argue currently, outside of perhaps home games, you'd now class him as a bowler as opposed to a few years ago when he was a genuine all rounder for a bit. I think it's worth pointing out as well that broad and Swann batted well in a good test side where they would often come to the crease at 390/5 against a tiring fielding side. Broad has deteriorated but facing a fit and fired up Mitchell starc bowling a ball like that is not easy.
leicsmac Posted 14 February 2015 Posted 14 February 2015 Farcical finish that. Dead ball according to the Laws.
Guest MattP Posted 14 February 2015 Posted 14 February 2015 If that's not dead then we need to be throwing for the run out every time an LBW is given now.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 14 February 2015 Posted 14 February 2015 Be interesting to see someone give Australia a proper game, can only see one of SA or NZ doing this at the minute though.
Corky Posted 14 February 2015 Posted 14 February 2015 Woke up to see Finn's hat trick, fell asleep at 4 down but managed to see the last wicket partnership and the farce at the end. Predictable really, Australia know how to thump us and they are the favourites. Morgan's form is incredible, four ducks in five innings. Cook might well be wondering what the fuss was all about.
leicsmac Posted 14 February 2015 Posted 14 February 2015 Yup, confirmed by the Laws: 3.6 Dead ball a) If following a Player Review request, an original decision of 'Out' is changed to 'Not Out', then the ball is still deemed to have become dead when the original decision was made (as per Law 23.1(a)(iii)). The batting side, while benefiting from the reversal of the dismissal, will not benefit from any runs that may subsequently have accrued from the delivery had the on-field umpire originally made a 'Not Out' decision, other than any No Balls penalty that could arise under 3.3 (g) above. Poor Taylor, screwed out of a ton there perhaps.
ealingfox Posted 14 February 2015 Posted 14 February 2015 Christ Absolute dog muck. Great way to stick it to Boycott Morgs.
Vacamion Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Watching India v Pakistan just now. The crowd appears to be unsegregated. Have fun policing that... Indian batsmen look like making 300 odd.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 It was said on commentary that an estimated 1.2 billion people would watch this game.
The People's Hero Posted 15 February 2015 Posted 15 February 2015 Strong finish from Pakistan. Can't see them chasing this. Might switch to see the end of the Zimbabwe innings. Strong finish from Pakistan. Can't see them chasing this. Might switch to see the end of the Zimbabwe innings.
Guest MattP Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Irish giving the windies a great game here, pleased to see Dockrell doing well I captained him once :-D
leicsmac Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Looks like we need to nick some more Irish players.
Guest Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Not sure how much longer the West Indies will last as a cricket team. Wasn't long ago they walked out of a tour in India mid series. Internal strife galore with contract disputes and politics.. Dreadful standards on the field...
GaelicFox Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Irish giving the windies a great game here, pleased to see Dockrell doing well I captained him once :-D He played in leics ? Or at uni ? There is a lad playing in Harborough going to be playing for Scotland Rob Taylor Stayed up to watch Ireland , was a fantastic result , Morgan should be playing for us I'm delighted he is good enough for ECB but we could be a very decent side with him
GaelicFox Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Looks like we need to nick some more Irish players. If they are good enough they will play for England Issue is now Ireland is improving and it's becoming a game played outside the traditional urban areas If the standard rises then the likes of Morgan couldn't make that jump to England as there would be no excuse to justify it
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Well done Niall O'Brien 79 not out vs the West Indies.
Corky Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 Shows the progress Ireland have made that this result isn't a total shock, in the way Scotland beating New Zealand tonight would be. Throwing a 23-year-old straight in as captain is a huge gamble by the West Indies, surprised Sammy isn't the leader. Think Ireland will get through at their expense.
ADK Posted 16 February 2015 Posted 16 February 2015 I watched most of it, Ireland aren't that good, the West Indies are just that bad.
