England are insipid.

5 - 0.

[mariner4life]

Trash. 143/7 in Adelaide? fucking hopeless. This should be all over by tomorrow.

[booboo]

Go the pink ball at night!

3 down.

Healy gutted at that last wicket

[booboo]

41 for 3

[booboo]

Eeeeedge ... drops in front offirst slip

[booboo]

Out!

[booboo]

Smith reviewing. Only if he hits it.

Out
Out
Out

[booboo]

Oooh barely pitching outside leg... deserved to be out

[ACT Crusader]

That was a pearler by Anderson and so so close. The ball two deliveries later was a great one to that had Smith in no mans land.

[booboo]

Out again?

[booboo]

High?

[booboo]

Close

[booboo]

Umpires call.

Fuck off!

[booboo]

Smithy out. 50 for 4.

Pink ball at night doing it's thing and changing it all it up.

[booboo]

Lyon? Night watchman

[booboo]

So... anyone think the bullshit about not enforcing the follow on is just crap?

So VVS made mincemeat of you 20 years ago ... in India... on a road ...

... and you're rested ... on a cool evening ... with a pink ball at night ....

Dumb.

As dumb Joe Root electing to bowl.

Can someone clarify for me? Why was the first Smith LBW not an umpires call with the pitch of the ball given part of the ball was in line with leg?
Are there different rules for that because it isn't a prediction of the balls path rather a record of it's actual pitch?

I think it's the proportion of the ball that is judged to be in line with whatever.
