Not after one ball, that's for sure!

That's not what I asked though. OK, how/when is an over deemed over?

 

[SWP's back]

Just on a side note how pathetic has the Sky Commentary been this series?

You've got 3 Aussies in the Comms box for a start(Australian broadcast has zero Englishmen) and you have Morgan, Strauss and Pietersen(who is the absolute worst commentator I've heard in a long time) pander to the Aussies.

Botham, Gower and Willis(RIP) would of definitely pulled no punches and neither would Holding or Warne(RIP)

Sangakkara was ok as he was a neutral and I'm sure Atherton and Hussain cringe when listening to the other English commentators doing their Comms

It's a fucking shitshow

Yep. I was screaming at that gloating Aussie **** yesterday after than atrocious bit of gamesmanship and saying “God I miss Botham, he properly hates these cunts” to my wife.

That hour long portion of cricket (with the “run” out and then Stokes going mental before lunch) was the first time she’s watched it with me in 9 years being together and she asked if it’s always this exciting.

Either when the umpire calls it or, failing that, when the umpire acts like it's done

Bored of the Bairstow incident! I’d rather they talk about when we were 188/1 and experience players played like armatures!

I thought that had already been discussed at length before all the other shenanigans!

Now you are just going round and round…

After the last ball of the over . The Aussies then Manipulated the situation to gain an advantage . It really is that simple .

None of these supposedly clever little video finds and examples stated are anything remotely similar or in context to yesterday's disgrace. Quoting the rules ad nauseum - for the last time, legal - yes - sportingly right - no.
I'm reminded in these times of the 80/20 rule - no matter how glaringly obvious the moral right and factual right - 20% will always seek to disagree.

 

[Debaser]

Irrelevant where Green is or was - the umpire was acting as though the over was done

20.2 Ball finally settled

Whether the ball is finally settled or not is a matter for the umpire alone to decide.

So a number of situations where the situation was indeed “end of over” right there in the rules . That’s why it is not in the game’s interest or unsporting behaviour what the Aussies did , basically you just don’t go there but the Aussies did to manipulate the situation. The Aussies could have easily just warned Bairstow or even called him back but they didn’t which is why the situation is still toxic for many this morning. It is 100% cheating but bizarrely within the rules of cricket an area where 95% of cricket captains would not venture but Cummins chose too . Sadly we now live in a world where cheating is applauded by many ,and many no longer have morals or dignity in today’s world nor sportsmanship.
