Black Caps v India

[Bones]

I take it the batsman doesn't get the benefit of the doubt anymore?

Holy moley, another crappy DRS.

Dhoni lightning hands. But bugger me that's a tough decision to be gien out on

[Damo]

Woah. Steady on.

I think there was something behind the line there.

Not against India

[Donsteppa]

Ooh. The offside view looked borderline out. Thought the leg side view looked in.

[No Quarter]

Yup, surprised he gave that. Lucky break for India.

It's like bloody rugby now. The crappy inconsitency does my head in

[Bones]

Hopefully Munro has played some hockey too.

Fucken useless umpire can't even see a foot on the ground! Might as well just put a camera there
Wiilamson appeal

[No Quarter]

Munro is batting for his life.

[Bones]

@Siam huh? Don't think the 3rd ump was because of Williamson appeal was it?

[nzzp]

Also, why the hell is it now out when the bails light up? The rule says 'dislodged' -- it used to be that both ends had to lift before you were 'out' ... has somethign changed?

I feel like a bloody grumpy old man tonight (edit: but it becomes important with such fine margins)

[Bones]

@nzzp I thought someone said on here a wee while ago that the lights only come on if both ends of a bail are off?

Yeah, that was me. This article appears to confirm it:

"The bails are powered by hidden low voltage batteries. They each contain a microprocessor that detects when contact between the bails and the stumps has been broken. The bails are illuminated within 1/1000th of a second. "They can be vibrated, knocked, rained upon, but will only flash when both ends are completely dislodged from the stumps,"

[Bones]

Fucken hell how wide was that?

[Siam]

@Bones there was a totally unnecessary tv referral for an attempted stumping on Williamson

It was no more than a standard club game decision, but upstairs he goes, displaying complete incompetence

[No Quarter]

5 overs to go. Recalling the last game through a drunken haze this is where we lost it, really important we finish strong.

Can anyone explain why Seddon Park is so small when it's a dedicated cricket ground?

It's annoying we have small dual purpose grounds but why on Earth is Seddon Park so small?

[No Quarter]

India's fielding has been fucking atrocious.
