I'm probably being naive as don't watch that much cricket these days but i would have expected to him to walk there.

Accept that others also wouldn't have, but there was also already an example when one of his team mates did. Technically he was in his right to stay put , the Umpire didn't missed the nick so wasn't giving him out , if he had walked the umpire would have signalled out . Morally a bit dodgy as it was a clear nick by Broad and he knew it . But I can see the argument that its up to the umpire to make the call . Broads going to get some grief from the Aussies fans and media this winter that's for sure . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broad has a nasty side to him (bit like his Dad) hence the reason he didn't walk It's not right from a moral point of view, but he didn't break any laws. For every Adam Gilchrist there are about 10 Stuart Broad's unfortunately for people who want to see the spirit of the game being upheld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid the spirit of the game was lost a long, long time ago. Barely any of the modern cricketers would've walked there. Australia only have themselves to blame. The 2nd tv appeal they used up was a shocker. An LBW shout that was missing by miles when Pattinson was bowling. That's cost them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every Adam Gilchrist there are about 10 Stuart Broad's unfortunately for people who want to see the spirit of the game being upheld. I agree but at a crucial point in a Test how many cricketers today would walk these days? The 2nd point is key though, morally- aye he should have went for a stroll and the umpire would have had his finger up quick as... (insert ooer missus smiley here) which would mean the batsman had made the call not the umpire. Broad obviously knew that there were no reviews left for the Aussies so waited to see what the umpire said, nowt wrong with that imo. If the umpire had given out he'd have walked. I take it England still had a review left but wouldn't have used it if the call was out. Still, it all evens itself out over th..... oh. Maybe I'm not cut out for this cricket malarkey.

ToadKiller Dog Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Cricket is one of the few sports where the commentators are self effacing and don't have arrogant unfounded expectations of their own nation . It's also where they are not afraid to give their opinions and disagree . A good Bob Willis rant is always worth it's money even when he is wrong .

Terry Tate Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Sorry if mentioned elsewhere in the thread but did anyone notice an uncanny resemblance between the celebration of Agar after taking the wicket of Cook and the legendary Ryan Mcgowan skip on the 19th of May? It's probably not even there but anything to get 1-5 into a thread. Think Broad was in a no win situation so better to keep his team mates and the home support happy. If england get another 50 they should win comfortably. A couple of quick wickets this morning and it could get interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Pigeon yesterday had a quality conversation about Pattinson and needing to give him a nickname. After Blowers proposed calling him "Patters" with "Starkers and Patters at either end", McGrath mentioned that his nickname Down Under was "Patto". Suddenly, every player was given an extra "o" at the end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Lots of talk about the England bowlers over the past few years ... but what a golden age for English batting it has been. Pietersen, Bell, Cook, Strauss, Vaughan, Trescothick, Trott ... how many centuries for that lot? All averaging over 40 too I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
