Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - LP - 10-27-2023

The reason being the keeper's first movement was to walking away from the stumps to throw the ball to the field, then he turns his head and sees the non-striker out of the crease before throwing the ball, in my day that would have been ruled a dead ball.
I doubt the rules have changed, the stumping or runout attempt is supposed to be your first action, you can't fake the batsmen into leaving the crease, and the keeper can't toss the ball to a slip or other fielder and have them then decide to runout the batsmen.
England are lost, they won't and can't complain in the Sub-Continent because nobody is listening!
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - dodge - 10-27-2023
I agree LP. I was surprised at the commentary.
I think they have updated the rules so that you can't deceive the batsman with where the ball is (eg pretend to mis-field, batsmen run and get run out because fielder had the ball).
There was definitely lag and disinterest in the play by the keeper.

12 off the first over from the pie chucker, followed by utter rubbish from Hazelwood. Time to give others a go.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 10-28-2023
NZ worked out that taking the pace off the ball worked brilliantly on this deck but the three stooges from NSW are clueless.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - dodge - 10-28-2023
Not sure if it matters too much tonight.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Professer E - 10-28-2023
Just take the pie chucker off.
Check the betting slips....there's something stinky about this game.

Interesting to see how things can change in cricket. Between 2015 and 2019 the Poms put a a lot of work into their white ball programs and reaped the rewards with the 2019 1-day title and the most recent 20-20 title. However, since then, they have supposedly concentrated on red ball cricket. They are now stone cold motherless last and would be no certainty to beat Bangladesh.

A lot of them are getting older and this will be a pattern that will hold England back, bazball produces short format players not test cricketers..

Mind you, we also appear very light on for good young players.

Bangladesh - what a way to kill cricket - you dheads.
