Cricket World Cup 2019 - England World Champions!!!

[RadcliffeRick]

Ha! Perfect timing on my part!
A bit of Royle, Keegan and some 0-0s with Psycho... and a few runs down the wing from Kennedy, Huckerby and Wright Phillips :-)
Happy memories!

But were you at York away??

Yet their were some on here wanting the team sacked a couple of weeks ago!
I always maintained belief we would reach the final.

And for all this Pakistan fans who felt we lost on purpose to England would have realized how woeful our middle order was ;) ....Rohit shama kept bailing us out ...they had 3 years to plan for middle order for World Cup and they sent dhoni at 7 ...nzl
Deserving winners

I am not saying they lost on purpose but lack of intent with 5 or so overs to spare was boring, i guess at the end of the day teams need to realise that you need a minimum of 4 specialist batsman if not 5. Same think with Pak, if our top 3 don't perform we are likely to loose. Guess Dhawan's injury proved to be a major loss

Hawkeye is only about 99.9% accurate, so in instances where some of the ball is hitting the wickets, but under half, then they stay with the on field umpire’s decision. Same for the impact being in line.

1-50% of the ball in line = umpire’s call
50-100% of the ball in line = decision can be overturned.

Correct. It creates an anomaly, tho'. The exact same ball can be given out or not out depending what call the umpire made originally. It should be benefit of the doubt to the batsman.

Huckerby offside, again!

I think the system works pretty well. If it's marginal, then on review, the decision stays as the umpire call on the field. The reviewing team don't lose their review and the game carries on.

This new system isn't restricting the scores, so batsmen aren't being unduly hampered by it.

It has also stopped batsmen hiding their bat behind their pad and pretending to play a shot and running down the wicket to kick the ball away as umpires never gave them out, whereas hawkeye can. This is turn has made umpires much more likely to give them out as a result.

It's amazing how many correct calls the umpires make. The umpires call element of hawkeye is minuscule if you look at it from where the umpires stand, yet 95% (my guesstimate) of their decisions are accurate.

My Roy & Root to both score 50 looking to be on very dodgy ground at this rate.

Ouch!

Not losing the review is important.

I'd forgotten about the benefits it's brought to making people play.

Hopefully this bring more new fans to cricket .... cricket desperately needs to globalize to keep interest of new and young fans going

Good points. I never really understood why umpires did not give batsmen out when hiding the bat behind pad. They were deffo not playing a shot and mostly it was obvious.
