Australian Tour to Sri Lanka - Jan 2025

[The Bedge]

Healy was a cheat too, happy for him to miss out.

How what are you referring to?

Guessing the stumping at the waca????

Took the bails off why the ball no where close to his gloves. Appealed, claimed the stumping.

Your comment just made me think.. is it weird I struggle to remember the dates of my kids birthday, but I can vividly remember what happened in a cricket match 30 years ago?

I think you mean the one at the Gabba, of Matthews where he dived forward and tried to sweep the ball back onto the stumps and asked the question cause he didnt know and Terry Prue gave it out

Went looking for the picture - the one where he has his hands out with a quizzical look on his face.

keepers dont have quizzical looks on the face when they know they have stumped someone, it was a genuine question of "was that out?"

[am Bays]

And before you say why didnt he call Lara back or why didnt another member of teh Australian team call lara back well that was from back in the day where what the umpire said you copped, out when not out you walked, not out when out you rested on your bat and grinned at the bowler

You took the good with the bad

respecting the umpires decision, the true spirit of cricket.

Lara made up for it in Sydney anyway

You said the words that I wanted to, I don't have a lot of respect for him full stop.

It shouldn't have even been considered given how far in front of the wickets he was, the rest was farcical.

First contact was behind the stumps which is within the laws so keeper is perfectly entitled to touch the ball if it goes off his gloves and forward to infront of the stumps.

Both sh!te decisions, Wyatt Earp would be happy with that rapid firing

What do you mean? how is respecting the umpires decision good or bad not within the spirit of cricket?

Steve Randell, an outstanding citizen.

Yeah nah..... i reckon that one pretty easily crosses the line between respecting an umpires decision and knowing you pulled a swifty over the umpire.

That’s why I have my girls names and birthdates tattooed on me haha

Nah the balding and wrinkles give that away haha

I thought that was just so you look like a grownup and didn't get asked for ID everywhere.

Not sure why Starc isnt bowling here

Yup, was mainly a reference to the stumping, but yes, there was that run out in the ODI final, and then another run out against Lara in the west indies:

Once can happen to anyone.
Twice is unlucky.
Three times makes me think you were happy to claim wickets you knew weren't out.

[locky801]

Poor cricket by the aussies here, keep letting Mendis get easy singles off the last ball of just about every over
