That's not a no ball, tis a good'un

That's not a no ball, tis a good'un

Clear no ball to my eyes.

 

[Common as Mook]

Daryl f***ing Harper.

 

[Titanic]

I literally cannot believe that is not a no ball, shite 3'rd umpire.

The umpire was, and always is, right, even when he is wrong.

However, on this occasion, he was right.

 

[Simster]

they'd have f***ing job to.

I'm not sure on where I stand with him really. How long do you carry your most talented batsman who is so clearly not prepared to dig in and help himself?

The thing is, I'm not alone in calling for Bell to be dropped two tests ago, and look what happened there.

i really dont follow cricket except the big tests involving england , but he does seem to be a bit of a passenger at the moment.

But the back part of his foot is behind the line

I'm not watching, but really??

0923: Eng 39-4
You couldn't make it up - certain no-ball, and Harper has managed to miss something that he's just been shown four times on slow-motion on a big screen right in front of his face. They're going mad on the England balcony - Strauss is on his feet, hands in the air, KP mouth open...

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

A tiny part of his foot is behind the line. Hussain now agrees

 

[Papa Lazarou]

But the back part of his foot is behind the line

But in the air... it has to be grounded.

There was nothing "certain" about it. It was *very* marginal, and all this moaning from the England balcony - f***ing button it you bat flids. Especially Trott and Pieterson who were both VILLAGE.

No it wasn't, well not to my view it wasn't anyway.

Poor decision by the 3'rd umpire to not take a closer look, very poor indeed.

 

[keaton]

Be careful Simeon, I hear the sound of the cricket experts waiting to explain how bloody good KP is and how lucky we all are that his mum was English.

It's got nothing do with being an expert on cricket, merely that only an idiot would say Pietersen shouldn't be in the team

Not according to the commentators on Sky? I am just following what they say about that bit as I didn't know

Mate you really need to say that to my face one day...

 

[keaton]

But in the air... it has to be grounded.

I don't think it does

 

[CHAPPERS]

Pieterson needs to be play cricket, this means he needs to be in the team as he's not going to get time in the middle anywhere else. I do think he needs to change his game though, he seems to have been found out a little.

 

[Simster]

Mate you really need to say that to my face one day...

This seems like a very mild "insult" to be getting so worked up about. It's not like Keaton is telling you he's f***ed your mum is it?

 

[Common as Mook]

It doesn't have to be grounded. If you watch a spinner, they pivot with a raised heel.
