You'd have to be a complete cunt to actually appeal and enforce said appeal in these circumstances. An actual vile prick. It's not like mankad where the batsman is trying to gain an advantage.

Well it is this guy.
Last year I stood with a guy from the NZ first class list, who knows and regularly works with their international umps Gaffaney and Chris Brown. We were talking about all the reports he'd heard back from international cricket, and it's apparently widely known that Bangladesh are the biggest bunch of cunts on the circuit. Genuinely horrible people.
He also said Jimmy Anderson was a cunt, which was disappointing. Also said that Bowden eventually got removed from the elite panel because all the other umpires had had enough and refused to stand with him
I wonder why nobody does the same with our mate Joe L. Wilson. If Billy was in the DRS era, who would be worse?
Joel seems like a good bloke despite his sight affliction. Bowden is just a show-off - you know he’s a twat to work with.
Darrell Hair always struck me as a bell end.

I love the idea that the 4th umpire sets a timer as soon as every wicket falls and is then relaying that information live to the on-field umpires. Not a prayer.
I was talking recently to someone who did an ICC game and apparently the 4th umpire's main job is to monitor the whereabouts of the batting side and fielders who have left the field, because almost all of them are usually trying to find their phones and sneak off to fix the match.
291 for the new titans of cool-headed sensible batting. Either Aus will piss it or, well, lol.
I’ll take that. Probably should have been more but a decent enough score to work with.

Cannot believe I’m missing this masterclass.
Azmatullah is some talent. Bats in the top six and strikes it clean and has the new ball on a string here.
Australians vs lateral movement challenge. If they get Maxwell it's game over.
Could do with this Maxwell prick getting out right about now.
He's chancing it big time. Close review and an absolute knob ender gone down.
It's the Cummins 8* off 38 element of this which winds me right up. No other tail ender would bat like this with Maxwell, they'd get out much earlier. Mental titan.
Maxwell is a freak - the fact he’s injured now ensures a successful chase.
Is Trott trying to get him timed out or something?
If he's allowed to keep getting lengthy physio treatment whenever he pleases then they will definitely win it. Should be retiring hurt.
I think Cummins can afford to have a little bit of a go at this point. Blocking maidens every other over might cost them here. He's more than good enough to find a gap once an over.
Well if the Afghans keep bowling right arm slot at Maxwell it won't matter either way.
This is like kids bowling to their dads. What am I watching
Just bump him ffs
Got to be some match fixing going on here. The bloke is playing French cricket and they continue to bowl slot.
Is this bloke superhuman strength or is this ground tiny?
Tiny ground.
But a phenomenal effort. Incredible.
I watched 20 mins of this. Never seen anything like it before and that’s taking into account Spurs’ high line yesterday.
I need to start backing India to test my luck. Anyone I back is cursed.
Shame for Afghanistan, but they'll learn that you can't afford to drop any catches at this level, that's a ranked 8-12 type thing to do.
Maxwell I just don't care unless he repeats the feat against India.
Maxwell has already struck a blow against them by calling the mid game light show shit so he needs to finish the job by winning the World Cup.
It would be nice if a World Cup final, in any sport, could not be contested by the two worst available options in the tournament for once.
We're paying all our dues from the 2019 final and will be for some time to come.
Rain around today, so naturally we've chosen to bat against Holland. I think a rain off bottom finish would be even funnier than losing to them.
No critic answering today.
Stokes inclusion in this whole fiasco has been a real masterstroke.
Not to mention he's going to get that much needed knee operation after this nonsense is over and may well miss the Test series in India. Excellent man management all round once again.
I can only imagine the fun that will be had in that series. Our middle order engine room of Jacks and Livingstone sent in by Baz to try and lace Ashwin into the Bay of Bengal and coming away with averages under 5 apiece.
We'll be declaring before we get to the middle order, have faith. Creepy Crawley to break the Don's record and hammer 1000 runs in the series as we stroll to a 4-1 victory.
New Zealand making light work of Sri Lanka's pathetic 170 so that's the semi finals set.
India vs. New Zealand
South Africa vs. Australia
The scenario is that Pakistan have to beat England by 275 runs, or chase the target we set them in 2.3 overs. Looking forward to seeing them try.
I see this is getting the requisite amount of interest.
These semis are the wrong way round. You really need to know who is in the final from the other one to know whether it's even worth rooting for New Zealand here. I can't be doing with another lay down and die in the final by them against Australia. And by the looks of it at the moment probably won't have to.
Jinx.
Always thought betting on who wins the toss is the most absurd of markets but India should have been priced at 1.02 to win it today.
Ultimately at this point, it's anyone but India.
If that means watching the Kiwis be pulverised by their brash and obnoxious neighbours in a horrendously one-sided final, then that's the price we have to pay.
Indian bloke barely looked injured there.
Just seen that they switched from a new deck to a used deck just before the toss. Rigged to fuck man.
Or India are just miles better than everyone. Which they are. Not even been a close match so far.

It can be both. Which makes it even more funny if they don’t win it (they will)Originally Posted by Waffdon
Daryl Mitchell will lead NZ to glory, don’t worry
Yeah the whole thing is bent. Doesn't mean India aren't the best side, but the whole tournament is a BJP stitch up.Just seen that they switched from a new deck to a used deck just before the toss. Rigged to fuck man.
If they lose either this or the final, their fanbase will be out in force declaring it unilaterally unfair.
