dave birch Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Bucknor's decision just reinforces my earlier comments about the Umpires today. They are incompetent. There have been so many glaring errors (errors that have disadvantaged both sides) that it beginning to make a mockery of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flopsy Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 oh stop whinging Bad decision, but so were the ones that got rid of Bell and Pierterson at Edgebaston. Oh well they even them out, what with two or three LBW appeals that should have been given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste B Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 4 down now.. The umpiring in this series has been poor, but it does seem to have evened itself out in that both sides have had dodgy decisions. The martyn one was easily one of the worst though.

SouthAussieRover Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 No predictions from me Paul. However this is what Test cricket is all about. I hope you are beginning to appreciate/enjoy that it can be a war of attrition at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I'm certainly enjoying it and had I been able to justify not appearing in work today i would have gone - might have left the cap behind this time though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipl Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 This pair has got to stay together for at least another 15 overs. They will inevitable put on 70ish runs in the process if they do so which will set up an amazing finale- 5 wickets 130ish to get 10 overs plus the hour for either side to win it. However, if the 6th wicket goes before that point, England will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
