[Cricket] 3rd (Dead Rubber) Test - Eng v NZ at Clean Slate Headingley, Leeds - 11am

Absolutely astonishing. I've played well over 1,000 cricket matches, and watched a load more, and I have never, ever seen the likes of that.

Amazing.

That's one way of doing it ...

Also, 123 for 5 at tea...

Same here. I couldn't work out if it was a dead ball or out. I've never seen it in 40 years.

 

[Badger]

To use a baseball term - shouldn't that be a double play? Both players out!

 

[Cheshire Cat]

The umpire would have lost several teeth if it had ricocheted a couple of feet wider

Daryl Mitchell is a right pain in the arse. I don't think we are ever going to get him out.

We got him out - just didn't review it

Not reviewing at the time, particularly keeping in mind who it was, was baffling. At very worst it was going to be umpires call.

Shouldn’t they both be out!?

Broad’s face an utter picture as the 7th falls

He didn't look so pleased just then, when Southee launched him into the stands.

It's odd to think we could win this series 3-0 when I feel I've spent the past three weeks watching Mitchell scoring runs against us

Mitchell to his ton, with an imperious straight six, off Leach.

Meanwhile, Overton continues to leak boundaries, like the county-level pie thrower he is.

Leach gets Mitchell, last ball of the morning session. Terrific over-the-shoulder catch from Stokes in the deep.

 

[Titanic]

Last ball before lunch, distracted by the thoughts of pork pie and sandwiches.

325-9

Leach gets Mitchell, last ball of the morning session. Terrific over-the-shoulder catch from Stokes in the deep.

More brave captaincy from Stokes, bringing mid-on up and tempting Mitchell to hit over the top. Plus a great catch.

 

[keaton]

Leach cleans up the tail and ends up with 5-100. Having a captain who has vague faith in his spinner seems to have helped

 

[Cheshire Cat]

England's magnificent opening stands continue to astonish.


Oops.

Shouldn’t they both be out!?

I asked friends on Facebook, who are into cricket, the same thing, but had no answer.
The batsman on strike was caught as well as the non striking batsman, so shouldn’t they both be out?
