Hope their Number 9 is happy with himself, middling one and not walking at this level of cricket for God's sake. Would have saved him the chagrin of getting his off stump pegged back whilst trying to mow one over cow with his head in the air as well 😂
I've had a few of those edged behind not givens, I definitely volunteered to umpire after that and returned the favour the entire innings (being a number 11 is great sometimes).
Week in week out they still use that opening bowler who frankly is holding the team back. He was so upset after the No 9 was clearly not out. Sohiab was much better. Batsmen No 4 was much better behind the stumps this week.
sorry but that is very bad umpiring not giving that big thick edge out. i heard it hear in Australia. well played guys.great to have you back again for the season
Great watch as always, however I do recall a video of you nicking one first ball to the keeper and not walking with your excuse being you’d driven a long way to play so maybe shouldn’t criticise too much 😅
Hey fella thankyou! And yes. . As it was the first ball of the season and I'd driven an hour and a half to play I believe it was OK.... (not!) In addition I was a baffoon back then. Some might say I still am! :)
Wickets are slower! And gravity. And too much cake. And balls are heavier. And camera is further away. And the air is thicker... And and and.... Yes. I'm slower.
Cheers buddy, I wouldn't say they were a team of cheats. They were a good bunch of lads. But in that instance it could have handled it a bit better. I can hand on heart say that I would have walked and if I edge one this season whether I'm on 0 or 99 I'll walk.
We had a neutral umpire regularly in the league back in the day called Les. He gave everything out. You knew where you stood. And not for very long! :)
Opener not walking is the biggest type of knob in club cricket. Your mate is umpiring you walk for nicks like that. Totally ruins low standard club cricket where there’s no umpires. Then the knob runs the best batsman out. What a player to have in your club. Obviously the umpire himself is an equally big knob blatantly cheating.
Good to see the new disciplinary code for shit decisions has instantly worked as a deterrent 😂 As for Grins bowling action, it seems to be getting ummm……. Debatable at best.😮
That bat is Tom Marjoram, well known for cheating, widely disliked (even by some of his own teammates), and a general all-round cnut. Unsurprising he didn't walk for a massive nick off, then barbecued a much better batter.
