The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Yeah even as an Aussie that seems like a massive cock up from the umpires. That being said; great performance all round from our star maxwell

Talk to the mittens.
This just in cricket now has double plays, but on review you can get one decision overturned. What the gently caress was that.

Commentators give no shits and move on quickly because it's not an Australian.

Sorry for the dumb question, but are you allowed to run when the ball just nicks off your pad rather than being batted?

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Feel kind of sorry for Taylor, he was the only English player that deserved to take something away from it.

Yeah, it's called a leg bye, the umpire will lift his knee in the air and slap the top of this thigh. Also the runs aren't attributed to the batsman in the case, they go into the "extras" total which counts runs from wides, no balls etc.

Yes but the batsman doesn't get the run. Its a Leg bye which goes against the bowling team.

Cricinfo is saying there might be a rule that if a decision is reviewed then the ball is not dead which still seems loving retarded.

Yep, though if it doesn't hit your bat you don't get credit for the run (it counts as Extras or Sundries).

You can also attempt a run even if the ball didn't hit anything, though this is pretty rare (usually when the wicketkeeper fucks up hilariously). Those runs are recorded as Byes

Of course that if it's a non mentally disabled umpire. If it's Billy Bowden he will probably do a pirouette while patting his head and rubbing his stomach.

No one gives a poo poo about your ridiculous dramatization of a 100 year old war, Channel 9, replay the loving NZ game.

Just on the leg bye talk.

The batsman has to be either attempting a shot or avoiding being hit to take a leg bye. The batsman can't just boot the ball for four.

We just saw a player given run out after the other batsman was already given out, I'm not discounting anything anymore.
