Vaguely remember a SA fielder doing this in the 90s or early 2000s … They were showing it recently. It was a South African maybe Gibbs, might have been a World Cup final too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Great innings from Duckett but too high to try and hook that ball. Now all down to these two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Stokes and Bairstow have got to get a three figure partnership here as England have a long tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a long shot with Duckett still out there but I don't see anyway through with the final 2 specialist batters in. One mistake or one moment of brilliance and it's all over. It's hard to see 200 runs passing before one of those things happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 The frustrating thing is we’ve shown now in both tests that we aren’t completely outmatched by Australia. But this tail is surely too long to scrape over the line unless one of Stokes / Bairstow (ideally both) produces something absolutely magical.

sidcow Posted July 2, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2023 Forgetting the rules of the game. Can a player only be given out if the wicket it appealed by the opposing team? There is an expression. "it's just not cricket" For me you don't go appealing for a wicket not won on sporting merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) It is not cheating but it is diabolical sportsmanship. Would have been nice if the English (Irish) co commentator, Eoin Morgan, had the bollocks to call them out on it.

StefanAVFC Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 It’s out if you take the bails off the non striker when he’s backing up. But people just don’t do it. appalling, really is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but it's not a question of rules it's a question of sportsman like conduct. Bloody convicts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have that incident with us an Leeds where we were gifted a goal back. Paolo Di Canio catching the ball. Cricket of all sports is supposed to be the gentlemans game. I would expect the Australians to approach the umpire and explain that it was an error. Instead no such thing, they're jumping up and cheering and congratulating each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
