He hit that didn't he?

 

[zandvoort blue]

Shocking decision.

 

[willipp]

Even ultra edge flickered before it hit the pad and she just completely ignored it.

 

[RiversideBlue]

Difficult to overturn the onfield decision from that evidence tbf

 

[M18CTID]

Looks like we’ve been robbed there. Need a miracle now

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Can't take this competition seriously anyway. Should be one of biggest days in the calendar and half the team can't play and you have decisions made like that. Joke

Shitshow from an hour ago

Lancs losing, Tarquins winning, shite weekend so far
Add spuds & chavs

 

[alib]

are PGMOL/VAR doing the third umpiring?

 

[willipp]

Completely killed the game that decision. Never got back into it after that. As others have said, to not have half their best players playing just makes the whole thing a bit of a piss take.

I certainly wouldn't want the job of organising the cricket calendar. Must be a nightmare trying to fit in all the different formats and competitions in to what is a pretty short summer that we have in this country.

Having said that, you'd think they'd manage to find a way for what I think is generally recognised as the premier one day competition these days, to not have the finals clash with when half the best players are unavailable through internationals?

Maybe it was just unavoidable? Still looking forward to it. But think Lancs are definitely outsiders of the four now.

All about greed and the shitshow that is the 100 unfortunately

The ECB are just the same as the PL…
All about the money and fook the counties

All the 16:4 is a glorified T20 with more razzmatazz

 

[chesterbells]

Well that was all a bit lame. All turned on Livingstone and Jennings staying in. Which they didn’t.
Our fielding cost at least 10 runs too, whereas they were faultless.
At least the sun’s back out, if I can summon the enthusiasm to go back to my seat and watch the other semi …

Right from the start of the comp we knew the score for finals day, that is the big issue, you know it is likely to be your worst team in the final.

Players not good enough at the group stage getting a debut on finals day, it is in one block with final 18th July next year, and Green may be able to play the knockouts, however and England ODI v India the day after, one a few days before, means there will be similar issues.

The days of Loye and Law guaranteed to play with a Hodge, Symonds or Hooper are a long time ago. What is the "Point" if you are no longer competitive.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Nice to have Bumble back in the commentary box

Brilliant from Somerset

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

Fair play to Somerset, they've been by far the best team this year, it's absolutely well deserved.
