Mitchell Johnson was batting (sent in at 4, scored 57) and he played and missed. The ball actually clipped the top of off stump but the bails didn't fall off. Prior took the ball and then with ball in hand knocked the bail off and then appealed for BOWLED not stumped. He knocked the bail off, and YES appealed for BOWLED I repeat, appealed for BOWLED. They had to check with the 3rd ump now he is a goose.

Ian Healy said that Botham will demand he gets sacked because Botham labelled Hughes a cheat, this was 100x worse.

and people ask why we watch cricket.....what a great game ,

Thoughts_Arrive

Cursing I did not watch it, I thought we had no chance.

pjfan31

Very good aye.

Glad I missed England's innings. Can't believe Trott dropped CLarke. Great innings from both those boys

theserialthrilla

yeah not easy but very close to getting it ...then goes for 4 grrrrrr.


i missed the prior stumping thing.. :shock: started watching the over johnson got out .

pjfan31

You should see it. I don't know what he was thinking. Probably that they must have seen and heard the ball hit the stump and thought he would quickly flick the bail off and hoped no one noticed.

i think he just had a dog of a night. cos that referal for the caught behind down leg was also atrocious.

just wondering if beefy the old prick could make a comment on priors "bowled/stumping"... oh what's that beefy? a cheat? maybe?

Don't worry about Beefy. Correction... he's a big nosed old prick! He'll probably say something stupid.

England 333 and they still can't win. I think they should head home and give India a miss. :(

pjfan31

YEah but at that stage, I think he believed that the ball hit the pad and was trying to save the 1 run and also the extra ball. Terrible, and his keeping was the worst of the tour. HE missed a few returns, led to overthrows at times. And England's fielding was way off. Worst fielding for either side over the summer.

pjfan31

Haha, How good was that....
