Although we lost I still remember everything about our 1990 WC semi final, that is etched on my mind forever. Never had the same feeling when we played Croatia.

The LBW decision when we were about two runs from victory was a bit of a howler.

Probably not far from the truth, umpires do seem a bit redundant. Much like tennis umpires, other than calling a score they don't really have much to do.

We lost a game, it is found needed to criticise a player, in this case Duffers. Sad, true and never ending BS.

Football is already reliant, as I pointed out on Dunks goal.

Internet has its good points I guess. Being an old hack on this medium, been online for nearly 30 years I've watched it bloom in many ways, some good, some bad. No need to find it odd that you find an online home that helps you.

Anyway I have a truly terrible headache for celebrating Ben Stokes and Dunks goal was Saturday, but today feels like Sunday!!

Never really used to talk about umpires in cricket, whether they had a bad game or not. With technology comes a degree of scrutiny. Perhaps they always made bad decisions and we just lived with their judgement. But I do believe they are now reliant on said technology to make their decisions for...

I think the disallowed Dunk goal was glaringly obvious although I get your point regarding VAR.

Thanks for the advice, I shall hold it dear to my heart.

Thanks for liking this. By the way I was going out, mate turned up, two pints later, going out!

Miserable old f***er... live for the moment for once in your life.

Well, I'm off down the local for a beer, I think Ben Stokes earned it for me :smile:

I was 2... :lol: but I can say 'I was there'... alive :wink:

Who was Whispering Death, my memories were on the last day, could have been third or fourth day, definitely didn't go five, we got absolutely battered, and then Greenidge and Fredericks came in and finished it off for the loss of no wickets? Was it like that? I'm sure it was.

And unearthed their stumps!

Randall and a very young David Gower I believe played together in the covers for England, fantastic fielders for the time. Barclay, the Sussex lad was also brilliant in the covers. I also wanted to field in the covers to be 'David Gower'.

I definitely said at 7 down, we're going to lose this.

Lever the left arm fast, Knott the Kent wk legend, Randall, the showman (loved him), Greig the SA captain of Sussex and England, Underwood, another Kent legend but was never sure he actually spun it. I think I actually got into cricket before I watched it, but it was half a century ago so not sure.

It was a great game and series, the WIndies supporters turning up with their oil drums and having a party. They absolutely battered us with a barrage of short fast on stump bowling, all unplayable. They never bothered with spinners and that went on for years. But then they had batters like...
