[Cricket] England vs Australia Second Ashes Test - Lord's 14th-18th August 2019

There were two noises and the Umpire wasn’t sure. You don’t give it out if you are not sure. Anyway that’s what VAR is for!

There were two noises. He must’ve thought it was bat then pad.

The only possible excuse was hearing the noise of the bat grounding thinking inside edge

The most plumb LBW I have seen for a while

Fair enough - I'm watching in the office on the sly, with no sound!

1 BIG wicket before lunch please.

Stokes to Head... hit in front... given

Pitched outside leg... just maybe??

 

[Titanic]

Again poor umpiring... a good couple of inches outside leg

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Not out for me, on first view

Less than an inch from being out though (UC).

Never looked right live though.

Rain stopped play, so...

LUNCH Day 3: Australia 80/4 trail ENG by 178 runs with 6 wickets remaining

As was said on TV about VAR it matters not whether it is an inch or mm the rule is rigid and should be applied accordingly or changed.

A good day's play for England, still some hope left in the match if we can skittle them for less than 180 or so.

Forecast looks shithouse.

What’s your point exactly, BG?

I love the way we make it look like we're in a game, to then go and throw it all away.

Not looking good.

Latest on cricinfo: 2.40pm: The rubbish weather has "properly settled in" at Lord's, according to Miller.

Once again demonstrating that you simply don't understand cricket, or its laws, BG.

The 'rule' in this instance, is categorically not 'rigid'. My whole point was that due to the (non-rigid peculiarity of) Umpire's Call, the decision would have remained OUT, had it been an inch closer to pitching in line with the leg stump, even though the point of contact with the ground were demonstrably outside the line (and thus, by the laws, NOT OUT).

Eh ? It was widely reported that the weather would end play for the day about 1.00pm, it shouldn't be a surprise. Hence my post " A good day's play for England" .

Not widely enough to reach me obviously

Current bet365 odds:

England 100/30
Aussies 7/1
Draw 2/5

So that'll be a draw then

My point was that it didnt matter whether it pitched where it did or an inch closer is immaterial as where it pitched it was not out.
