Really? Looks like it was clearly not out to me.

Fingers under the ball. Soft decision was out, has to be conclusively evidence it hit the ground - it appeared 50/50 so the decision has to stay with the on field.

A marginal call goes India's way, does it? How convenient.

It bouncing on the ground is fairly conclusive!

 

[KeegansHairPiece]

The 2 Indian commentators not biased either

Not a single mention of one of the ‘umpires call’ LBW decisions they got despite barely clipping, not a single query.

Feels like that Gatting finger wagging tour!!

Don’t think it did, he couldn’t have gripped it as he did with one finger. Big zoom foreshortening the shot always makes it look worse than it is.

Last match we see Anderson and Broad opening the bowling, unless we bowl India out cheaply.

It's a good thing those tours weren't widely available on television given the amount of moaning going on now about what are, at worst, marginal decisions going India's way.

Imagine the reaction to some proper old fashioned howlers consistently going their way over the whole tour. Finger wagging would be the least of our worries.

People have been saying that for 2 years.. never write those 2 off.

 

[The Wizard]

First time in 110 years England have been bowled out for under 200 four times in a row. Yikes.

 

[KeegansHairPiece]

C4 in some kind of pact not to look at a single controversial incident.

How can you have an interval break and not even look at the Stokes catch!? Utterly bizarre.

 

[The Wizard]

I dont care about how much the pitch spins but the foot marks cutting up like that less than one day in is totally unacceptable. Awful grounds keeping, you’re endangering players.

Complete joke. Honestly. These two commentators are a couple of clowns as well. Not even suggesting this is fine that evening session on day 01 its fine for fast bowlers to be turning there ankles and what is as Swann said no better than an alotment.

 

[The Wizard]

And ANOTHER marginal LBW call - umpires call, not given. Every umpires call in the England innings was out.

 

[KeegansHairPiece]

How's he not giving that LBW with all the LBW s they gave them.

This is a joke. Honestly. **** off. Cheating twats. I hope we take their ****ing heads off in the summer.

Commentators not going to mention it though are they. Should be 10-2. I might have to switch off, this is making me madder than Monday.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I think an umpire is more likely to give an lbw decsion when a slow bowler is bowling. That one did look out but new ball and a fast bowler puts more doubt in the mind doesn't it.

The definitely need to sort the landing marks, you can't be landing in that.

 

[The Wizard]

Yeah that’s it, smash the dust down that’ll compact DRY DUST

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

All parky is doing out there is breaking the foothold up further with that thumper

Not wholly true. Crawley was given not out on an umpire's call about three balls before Root was given out on one.

But there's wasn't much benefit of doubt given to batsmen (although in honesty the ones that were given looked pretty out to me, the only one I'd have not given was Stokes)

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I'd bowl a few beamers turn round to the umpire point at the shitshow of a pitch shrug and walk off

Gave Broad out and it was missing by a foot!

7 decisions and we got 1 go our way, yay.
