Because it’s the flaw of the laws. When does the catch start and end? He had it in 100% in control in his hands, thats the catch, ball is dead. He throws it up in the air for the celebration, hits the floor after the celebration, but it is a catch. The whole ‘in control of the body’ phrasing is nebulous nonsense, equally as nebulous as ‘fingers under the ball’, which they were, not a lot of finger mind, but they were still under the ball. Everyone that isn’t from England thinks it was a terrible umpire decision. Whatever, it’s passed, I’m sure the next non-catch will be given as a wicket to even things out again.

Yeah, he should have used his face instead of his hands to break his fall. Fingers were under the ball, caught with two hands, if he had caught the ball and chucked it up in the air before landing they would have called it a catch and you know it.

Ridiculous that Starc’s catch isn’t a ‘catch’. It was in his hands for two bloody seconds before dragging the ball on the ground. If Cameron Green had a catch against India, how is Starc’s not?

He’ll be a great player for another London team in three years.

Allan Border has Parkinson’s

It’s okay. England decided to copy Australia’s fielding and bowling strategy.

You don’t actually know what semantics are, do you? Go join the Dan White Society.

No, I don’t. Fuck off and watch your replacement theory podcast.

I love the books.

How many batsmen his height ever become elite? KP is all I can think of

I can’t help but empathise with a batsmen out just shy of a century. 90-99 are the most anxious numbers

Yeah cricket obviously has a class issue as evident in the Harry Kane thread. Dismissed before it has even given a try as a sport for the posh and ‘colonials’ Im glad I didn’t go to Lords but Headingly, at least cricket has a relevance in Yorkshire.

I’ll open a cunt war on two fronts, I’ll sort the lot of you

Need a bit more than a light jog to generate the pace necessary for 150kmph. It's okay if you know nothing about the sport and are just talking out your arse, remember I called Dr Gonzo a cunt, not you. You're among mates here. But that will change very fucking quick if you keep this up.

Let me toss a leather ball at you at 150km

you’re a cunt mate

@Danny armistice broken, I’m gonna call Dr Gonzo a cunt

Great depression stars get a lot nostalgia. Don Bradman, Babe Ruth, you know those types. But of course Bradman was the best of the lot, get fucked if you say otherwise

That is because Dixie Dean played during the great depression and countries have an erection for their sporting heroes of that era.

I think it more that we are alive now and are aware of our recent history. If it were 1932, we’d say ‘cor blimey, dya reckon Dixie Dean can break Bloomer’s record, or will he join Arsenal to win a title?’

Is there a dog problem in Germany!?

You might say it is a blooming disgrace

Then lost the record, but never lost his league medal! Because that doesn’t change! lol how many times are we going to post the exact same response to each other

I don’t even know how to go on with this Sky and the internet aren’t a factor. You’ve gone mad, mate Don’t act like you knew that, I also just read the wiki.

If it is broken he literally moves from 1 to 2, that is completely different. If he wins a league, that never changes.
