Salvo Montalbano Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Surely there is no need for neutral umpiring anymore?With DRS etc it’s not like they can get away with cheating. Saw on twitter that there is 12 umpires on the ICC elite panel, but only 5 are eligible for the ashes because of this rule...Didn't Bird and Sheppard used to unpire the Ashes series? I know that's back in the amateur days but still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Farcical from the umpires, call for the covers to come on then change their minds before they have even reached the square. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Moomintroll Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I will not be surprised if there ends up being a 5 or 7 ball over today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaggyness Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I think names would be sufficient.I just guess I always enjoyed that test cricket hadn't adopted this practice. Liked the whites. Don't really see the need for it in test cricket 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Australia make it over 200, if they can get anywhere near 250 it will be a decent total considering how things went earlier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Given the circumstances....both match-wise and personally......this is one of the great test innings. That's not to excuse his actions in any shape or form, but he's an amazing batsman when he's on form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
