Indy 3,283 Posted July 11, 2019 Funny, if we now go onto lose this game......what an utter ****e decision! What’s the point of having reviews if you don’t use them for totally wrong decisions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thing that really pisses me off they review if a balls gone to the boundary or not if the fielder cuts it off, but they won’t review a potentially game changing **** poor decision! Still hopefully shouldn’t have a bearing on the game! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crap really as it just makes a bigger case for VAR in football. no, quite the opposite as it clearly exposes the idiocy of having the referral determined by players 'going upstairs' in cricket is done while the ball is dead at what point do you stop the game in football ?

I can't quite believe I'm agreeing with Bill but he's right. A referral system in football is completely unworkable.

Herman 9,717 Posted July 11, 2019 FMOB!! That was equally exiting and so much easier than I was expecting. Well done England. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) Yep, same opening pair for me. How about Archer in the test team also? If you open with Roy and Bairstow then who bats number four? How about Roy, Bairstow, Root, Northeast, Butler, Stokes, Curran, Rashid, Archer, Broad, Anderson to take on the Aussies in the Ashes?

VAR will be in place and if the video ref decides to refer it to the on pitch referee he’ll make the decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we need to keep Bairstow further down the order for Test matches personally. Roy's a definite but I think we need to keep Bairstow back for the longer format. I'd go with (depending on pitch obviously): Roy, Burns, Root, Bairstow, Stokes, Buttler, Woakes, Rashid, Archer, Broad, Anderson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,638 Posted July 11, 2019 Great stuff - this England side is excellent when when things click....it is still a bit too prone to crappy performances a la vs Pakistan and Sri Lanka, Scotland last year, but you have to hope it’ll be our year.

Daft question! what you mean is that your support for an idiot idea has just be blown apart simply as it does not matter who decides as either you will have to stop play in progress or not you don't appear to understand this rather basic flaw in ths idiocy that all these games will have 'instant' replays which will no longer be a question of whether a payer was lucky to be penalised, or unlucky not to be awarded a free kick/penaty etc but why was VAR not brought in ? and if the recent womens world cup is anything to go by then it's stupidity will be exposed very early on 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
