Second Test vs South Africa

[mighty_tiger_79]

and Pup would have declined ...

i wouldve thought so

having umpired before you do get those situations that arise - very rarely i might add and the captain just says get on with it

[Jim05]

Because we're not Pakistan ...

Its a legitimate dismissal, the ball bounced and could have gone onto the stumps, it was still live

Whilst the ball was still alive there was no way it was going to hit the stumps. Yes, dumb by Faf but I wouldn't like to see an appeal in that situation, regardless of it being technically correct.

Same deal with mankads ...

Dont get me started on the Mankad law
Shouldnt need to appeal it short be automatically out.
Cheating by the batsman, a bowler gets called for a no-ball for not being 1mm behind the line yet the non striker can get a meter advantage before the bowler lets go of it

[dedja]

You're a hard man Jim.

Anyway, all out ...

[Jim05]

Time for the Warner show!!!

Yeah looks great for 60.

And his answer when Mark asked him about wearing his test cap when he batted was so simple- he just loved wearing his cap and wanted to wear it as often as possible.

Agree. Works a treat in indoor....

I have an idea regarding the review system.
Let's say a batsman is given not out, but the batsman himself knows he is out ie. he felt the snick as it went past the bat. So, he walks.
In this position could the batting side get a review back? In that situation time would have been saved as the fielding side wouldn't need a review, and the batsman would've been found to be out anyway. So if he knows, give him the chance to walk and then reward the team with an extra review for sportsmanship/saving time.

I actually think this idea has merit. Are there any more good ideas floating around the Republic of Fukuoka?

Can Tahir bowl anything other than a long hop?

[Jim05]

Tahir comes on and his first over goes for 14
