utterly horrendous umpiring display today against the WI, Aussies pretty much been given anything theyve appealed for and theyve then been overturned on referral, thats without looking at the no ball that shouldve meant Gayles dismissal was a free hit ball

The Gayle dismissal and the previous delivery being a no ball was totally shambolic. That said, West Indies had the game there to win especially after the fast start and even deep into their innings

I can’t believe archer bowls that quickly off that run up and with such a compact easy action

Same with Bhumra .. it simply shows the standard coaching manual is not the only way to do it. If Archer had come thru a county pathway, they would have neutered his action by now.

Btw the Jofra delivery that clipped the bailes and went for a six was unbelievable

The Jofra delivery reminds me of a Benefit game we played against Middlesex many years ago. We played on a pretty small ground, especially straight, but with a bouncy wicket and it turns out the Middlesex guys had had a bet amongst themselves about the first ball being 6 wides! The plan being a very very short bouncer that sailed over the keepers head and hopefully into the sightscreen. The reality was a super quick delivery that was just short of a length and did everything but decapitate a poor club cricket opening batsman who wasnt expecting much more than a gentle loosener as was usually the case in these sort of games! He finally found it funny after several beers later that night :D

when I was coaching the kids at my old club one of the dads said I wasn't doing it like the manual showed. He didn’t appreciate me telling him I don’t give a toss what a book says, as his son had a natural ability with the bat and a book would ruin that

In his last match, my son was trying to play helicopter shots. It was funny but he did not manage to connect a single one. They also ended up losing the match. His coach came around and said dont worry about it.. keep trying ... Champion

Well the Indian batting machine will be feeling bad for scoring ‘only’ 352 today.. highest run chase for the Aussies in a WC coming up. If they decide to go for it then it will be great fun to watch. Watching for fireworks from Warner, Finch, Smith and Maxwell

said it once and will say it again how does Bumra get away with that action????

Come on.. Can’t see anything wrong with the action... arm very upright.. (or is he not allowed that as he is from the subcontinent 😱)

On another topic.. the zing nails have been a shocker in this tournament

Gets away with it because there is nothing wrong with it - Open chest , arm upright , certainly not throwing it

the bails are bad too ;)

someone needs to have a chat with Big Davey Warner and explain to him how you go about chasing 350+, batted as if they were chasing 250 lol[/QUOTE]
But always good to see the Aussies come second. Could New Zealand go a little under the radar and win this?
