totally, this shows Baristow actually tried a similar stumping on day 1 https://www.skysports.com/watch/vide...schagne/more/4

and they've also no right to be whining ever again, after winning the World Cup because the umpire got the rules wrong...

for me that's a travesty that's right up there with the F1 handing Verstappen the title a couple of years ago

I can’t comment because as I recall I was watching the Wimbledon final (still haven’t gotten over how Federer failed to win that match) because I tend not to have as much interest in one day cricket. It’s kind of Test or nothing for me (I did keep up to date with the scores in the final but that was it) but do remember what you’re referring to and even umpire admitted he made mistake (though claimed there was no video replay)

NZ should have legally disputed England getting that World Cup

As someone who doesn’t care about cricket, but has seen the “incident”.
It does sound a bit like “play to the whistle”.

it's that exactly, good comparison

If Bairstow's a pro he stays at his crease until it's clear the ball is no longer live

Yep

Another example I was thinking of was Henry’s quick free kicks

Good start to the morning, have taken Warner, Khawaja and Labuschagne already. Australia on 65-3. Get Smith and Head reasonably quickly and the potential is there to bowl Australia out for under 200

Woop Smith has gone

He has supplanted Ricky Ponting as being the Australian wicket I take the most pleasure in England taking

[HCZ_Reborn]

Mitchell Marsh has destroyed any momentum we made in first session

249-7…that’s better
