  • And that is why the DRS system is fatally flawed.

    No point having a review system when a blatant wrong decision can not be  overturned.

    Might as well not have it imo. 

    Take the "reviews" away from the teams & give it to the tv umpire.

    Ridiculous.

    This would slow the game down even more if every time there was a rap on the pads or ball goes to wicketkeeper we have to wait for a TV review. 
  • Pitch isn't that bad. If England don't score 500 it's their own silly fault ;)

    You are correct - that decision is exactly the sort of one that the review system is designed for. But we wasted at least one with a ridiculous review (ball hit back of leg with off stump showing) so we only have ourselves to blame.

    You cannot have every appeal reviewed by TV simply because of the time involved. Teams would appeal for anything and guess what the repercussions of that would be - less overs in the day and you would be the very first to moan about that!
  • Quite impressive that the Windies still have all 3 reviews left. Brathwaite for example walked off without reviewing his LBW, despite being his team's captain and best batsman
    Root maybe needs to take note...
  • Haven’t been able to watch much of Mahmood. How does he look as a bowler?

    That economy rate from 24 overs is striking.

    I did say yesterday shou could impose penalty runs. Maybe 10 for the first unsuccessful review, 15 for the next and so on. Players like Bairstow might not then review every LBW against him & you might then get the right decisions affecting the game......and not the wrong ones.

    If we lose this match by 20 or 30 runs then that LBW decision could be the turning point.

    And you only have to go back to Headingley in 2019 to show how a decision can be very very costly.

    You can't impose penalty runs for an unsuccessful review!!! There are times when a batsman hits a ball at 90mph onto his pads and there is a nanosecond between the two events and he might, quite legitimately, think he's hit it first. Or the sequence happens the other way round and he doesn't appeal it for fear of losing 10 runs????

    And it is ridiculous to say that an LBW decision caused a result any more than a poor shot from a batsman or a poor spell from a bowler did.  

    The review system works fine but the number need to be limited. Either to three and you lose the review for "umpire's call" or two and you keep the "umpire's call".



  • This England bowling attack is utterly toothless. 
    I can't remember seeing worse 
  • I think this Test is now lost. We will have to get at least 350 to have a chance & we know under pressure our batting collapses quicker than a house of cards.

  • 2 really weird looking scorecards
  • Well batted Joshua Da Silva!
  • Looooool
  • edited March 2022
    Oh my word!!!!!

    England are walking off the pitch because Da Silva thinks he's hit it, appeals as a desperation measure and has missed it by a mile!!!!

    And that is why you save reviews.
  • Well batted Joshua Da Silva!
      Brilliant effort.
  • Overton you cretin!!!

    The guy is a total dickhead

    Sorry, but thus is just a farce now.

    Da Silva was given out & walks off. Surely then you are out. You cant be walking into the pavilion & then review the decision. Oh....but he had reviews left so he can just use them up. 

    As I say......take the review system away from the players. That or reduce the time allowed to 5 secs. Players know if they have hit it or not & then they usually review immediately. 
  • 297 all out

    Da Silva 100* and having faced 257 balls has to now go out and keep.

    This is underlining why WI won't have been too unhappy at the tail wagging yesterday. The pitch has become a road. If they don't score 500 it's their own silly fault 
    Not sure they will make 300 tbh 
    Never in doubt 😂

    Not a chance 
  • What do we reckon then.  All out for 150?

    250 plus

    While a mentally knackered Root will arrive in the first over when we lose our first wicket...

    I think we'll get over 200 but not enough for them to be tested. 

    I think we'll need 350+ to have a chance in this game. This mornings play has put The Windies in the box seat.

    The way Crawley's batting it wont be long before he's out caught.
