What a fecking joke!!.. i thought the evidence was meant to "conclusive" otherwise the batsman gets the benefit of the doubt? so where was the video showing a nick?

that's a bullsh/t decision imo.

54.1 Abdur Rehman to Sarwan, OUT, big caught behind appeal, keeper is absolutely convinced, umpire isn't, Sarwan went for the cut to a wide ball, did it take the under-edge? time for another review, like at the World Cup, there is no HotSpot or Snicko, so it will be difficult to overturn the decision. Well, what do I know? the umpire has given it out
RR Sarwan c †Mohammad Salman b Abdur Rehman 23 (79b 2x4 0x6) SR: 29.11

Hi everyone. Hope you all ok, wherever you are.
What a long tail there appears to be to the WI batting lineup! And i must ask what Smith is still doing in the team! And isn't it ironic that Chanderpaul is - once again - the only survivor left still standing there. The more things change, the more they remain the same!
How Chanderpaul must be chuckling to himself! Let us watch out for whoever it is will run out to instruct him on how to bat!
This sucks!

Smith is at the top to provide continuity of the long tail.

Smithy made 100+ in a practice match, while Samuels blasted a double. I would have like to see young Kraigg get a chance but....

This is painful to watch but what does everyone think of this track? it's a low scoring one isn't it? so i believe anything over 250 should be good for us, the way the ball is turning Bishoo is gonna have a field day against them imo, if Sammy and Shiv can hang on until close of play we'll still be in this game, especially with Simmons looking like he's gonna bat again.
