OutByEaster? Posted February 25, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 25, 2021 I think there's bat - it changes direction onto the pad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Would've been interested to see if it would have missed leg stump anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 surprised they reversed it. I guess, there's no clear evidence and benefit of doubt to batter in that case. though root taking 15 secs to decide to review suggests it was more hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 India make every ball sound like it’s a wicket. Shut the **** up for a bit eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teale's 'tache Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Definitely hit the bat and deviated into the pad, it's hard to know if it's brushed the pad on the way to the bat though as everything is in one frame. At least the third umpire used more than one replay this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 25, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 25, 2021 We need something from Pope here. I'm not sure 17 is enough of a lead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted February 25, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 25, 2021 I reckon we'll get 78. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_avfc Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) At what point is it reasonable to call a pitch disgraceful at test level? This is complete madness. We're now at 87-12 today with all wickets falling to spin on day two of a test match. The worst thing about this for me is that when India are in England in the Summer we're bound to see the greenest pitches possible in response to this. I reckon I'd have a chance of picking up a couple of wickets on this and I've never bowled a ball of spin in my life.

Milfner Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 What an absolute disgrace this pitch is. Won't even see a third day. The type of pitch you'd get a points deduction for in the County Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 One of the worst I’ve ever seen at this level. Abandon it and make the last test the decider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 25, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 25, 2021 Having lost the first test, I think it's pretty clear that India have then done absolutely everything possible to ensure that the series didn't continue that way - pitches, umpiring, anything they could do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The type of pitch you'd get a points deduction for in the County Championship. I said it during the second test. The pitch there was bad enough that there'd have been points deductions in the County Championship. That test was over as a contest within a couple of days. This pitch is taking it to a new level but if this is how test cricket is going to go then its going to kill the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
