I don't understand cricket. I think me stan'ing for darts, football and tennis will have to do for my newfound love for sport.

Guarantee if you sit there for the next 5 days straight watching all of the first test you will be hooked

Had to come in and post about Broad's disgusting sportsmanship which was a disgrace tbh. Fair enough not walking minor edges but when you get a THICK edge like that and stand your ground you honestly deserve a ban as there is no place for that

All I am hearing from the commentators is the favourable decisions Aus have had yet they ignore Rodgers( One of Aus main batters) being given out for the same Anderson was given not out for. Whilst ignoring the fact Broad was also out LBW on 6

Seemingly it's not enough turning all your pitches into a sub continent spin/borefest

Seemingly it's not enough to have a mixture of South Africa A players in your team

great start to the series

I like Michael Clarke

One of the greatest pictures ever in sport

Nah the whole sh*t that Broad has been given over it has been ridiculous, I would always say a batsman is within his rights to stand his ground and leave it to the umpires decision but the review system has made that even more so, it completely discourages walking because the opposing team now has the ability to reverse any incorrect decision if they want to risk it, it's the Aussies fault that they wasted their reviews on terrible shouts.

Don't see what the difference it makes is whether it's a minor edge or a major one either, Broad's was pretty obvious but people exaggerate saying he edged it to slip and all that, Dar isn't the best ump but it got such a heavy glance off Haddin's gloves you can see why he was mistaken

Plus this whole 'spirit of the game' has always been really inconsistent and more of an ideal than the reality anyway, and show me one Aussie in the last few decades who would walk there, apart from maybe Gilrichst

so yeah basically, Broad was within his rights, the Aussies can't moan

[Legend killer]

Ramdin = Gets banned for faking a catch

Broad = No disciplinary action faced

Who who's dad is part of the committee????

As for the Aussies feel sorry for them you take away the runs Broad added after not only his first dismissal but his second one aswell they win the game with ease. You can talk about the Agar decision however that was actually touch and go and needed a few other angles to be 100% sure either way on.

Agar apart every 50/50 call went against them including the big Haddin one
like Glenn was saying there is no way of proving for sure that the hotspot mark was not there before the ball went past the bat. Add to the fact the noise appears once it had gone past the bat makes the decision even more dodgy

PS: PLEASE take that bum Cowan out of the line up that shot he played off Root before bloody tea alone means he should never play at international level again

[MTVN]

Agar's wasn't the only one, and even if you ignore that 92 extra runs of his then what about Trott's in our second innings? And he is probably our most reliable batsman atm so you'd fancy him to at least cancel out that 28

Haddin was definitely out, it looked like it in real time and was backed up by hot spot and snicko (even though the 3rd ump didn't have that), I even think that Aleem Dar may well have just given it not out because he knew England had reviews and the Aussie's didn't and he didn't want to be responsible for another massive cock up

[Legend killer]

MTVN walking right into my trap fuken LOVE IT

I purposely left out the Trott decision because I knew you would bring it up. You got to love the England fans the hotspot is good enough for the Haddin yet they conveniently forget the fact there beloved Hotspot showed nothing on Jonathan BORES bat

Thank **** we did not get to see the most BORING batters in test history at the crease together the thought of him and Bell at the crease together brings a shiver down my spine

you really just forgot all about it didn't you?

[Legend killer]

Nope you never show your hand in ANY aspect of life. Anyone can bring up points but it's how you construct your argument that really matters

Knowledge + Construction = Why I have never lost a debate on the sports forum

[MTVN]

lol look at LK thinking he has pulled off some genius master stroke

You said that "every 50/50 call went against them" when that obviously isn't true because Trott's went in their favour. You do realise that the ICC apologised to England over it right? And that the only hot spot angle that mattered wasn't available but the 3rd ump still decided to reverse the decision anyway?

[Legend killer]

I would defo say it was a master stroke. I could have easily brought it up in my original post but therefore i'm allowing you to avoid it. By doing it my way it had a much greater impact and gave me the first scoring blow

Both an official and unofficial law of the game BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT GOES TO THE BATSMAN so with this in mind of course he reversed it in the angles he had it was touch and go and the angle needed to give 100% certainty either way was not available so he HAD NOT OTHER CHOICE to follow the laws of the game

It's a shame he didn't have the balls to follow the rules in Haddin's case though

I am afraid you have gone rusty in my absence MTVN walking into shots left right and centre like a rookie like Novo would

[Novo]

Sorry but you've been bigging up Tyson Gay for the past couple of years only to recently realise he is a druggy, i can't take you serious after that **** up and now your trying to take on the Cricket God MTVN, your week can only get worse from here

[Legend killer]

Check out my post in the Gay/Powell thread babe xoxo

Funny why his B sample was not released straight away ain't it??? No doubt Usain had something to do with the sabotage would explain where he has been whilst Tyson wiped the floor race after race

[Legend killer]

He may be a Cricket god however I am a Sport GOD KING

[MTVN]

Jack of all sports, master of none pretty much sums up the Legend Killer

If benefit of the doubt goes to the batsman then surely it goes to Trott seeing as he was given not out on the field and they didn't have the available technology to overturn it confidently..

Haddin's however looked out in real time, there was a hot spot and audio also backed it up, hence why none of the Aussies have complained about it

This has not been a good few days for you has it

[Roy Mars III]

glad I opened this thread, even though cricket is terrible, so I could see LK come back to destroy MTVN once again

[Novo]

LK is finished, Tyson Gay has made sure of that

[Roy Mars III]

he was framed
