Wtf was that?!

 

[waspish]

It’s not a 20/20

Just read about that here.

Lancashire argue final-ball umpiring error cost them T20 Blast title

MCC clarify that the ball was considered dead after McDermott broke the stumps at the keeper's end

Getting a bit Formula One in the worst possible sense for me. I.e results being disputed for hours and days after the event has finished.

I'm not a fan of results getting overturned after the event has finished and I agree a lot of the loss was down to Lancs bottling it.

Sounds very Utdish....are most of the Lancs setup reds?

They tend to support the likes of Blackpool and Preston, I know an alien concept to some.

Stokes is in danger of becoming Shahid Afridi. Trying to hit every ball as far as he can and keep getting out in doing so.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Not sure what to make of England’s new approach of heading the ball.

 

[waspish]

Looking at the pitch we need 300 at least butler needs to stay to the end for that to happen

 

[waspish]

Be good just to use all these over up

Yeah, eek out as many as we can. Probably irrelevant though. We need to take 10 wickets to win, whatever we get now.

 

[andyhinch]

Going to have to bowl well now.

Pitch is a good one we need 3 quick wickets keep it really tight but easier when there is a target to sit in and 50 overs is a lot

Well; Dhawan has gone early. Topley again, carrying on his good work from earlier in the week. 13-1.

21-2 now. Topley again, removing Sharma.

 

[waspish]

Keep it tight and keep picking up wickets it be a tight end

 

[Dr Jacoby]

When did Topley turn into Wasim Akram?

 

[dadnlad]

Bye bye

Top lancashire lad right there

Another one for Topley. That nice Kohli fella gone. 38-3. If we can get them 5 down by the time they get to 100,we're in with a great chance.

Just like Buttler!

If we have them 10 down by 200, we’ll have even more of a chance
