East Kent Saint Posted 17 July, 2022 Share Posted 17 July, 2022 Hants bowling is their strength this season , batting not bad there is usually someone stepping up to the plate ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchards Posted 17 July, 2022 Share Posted 17 July, 2022 Hey guys it does look like the umpires may of made a mistake regarding field placement but that’s the excitement of it. Remember Stokes dive for 6 runs when it should of been 5, remember Hurst’s shot never crossed the line, Stokes goal was offside etc….. Thats sport and that’s why we love it! Nice one Hawks now let’s win that championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwsaint Posted 17 July, 2022 Share Posted 17 July, 2022 Although Bobby Stokes goal in 76 was actually well onside. He was played on by Martin Buchan the United left back who hadnt stepped up with the two centre backs. It's just that the footage doesnt show Buchan when the ball is played forward, he comes into shot a fraction of a second later, As for Hurst's second goal in 66. I have seen a couple of youtube vids that analyse all the available footage to try to work out whether it crossed the line or not using modern technology. Turns out that it was incredibly close, couple of centimetres either way. Dont really care about last nights debate. We won. Thats all that matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellman Posted 17 July, 2022 Share Posted 17 July, 2022 Yes its fine when umpire or referee make mistakes in our favour (not often) but its not good for the game. In the current dispute about last night, I wonder if anyone on the ground was aware of the 'law' about field placings after a no ball. I follow cricket quite closely and used to know the 'laws' and often umpired but with the introduction of so many formats of the game by day and by night, does anybody know all the 'small print'?

I'm pretty sure he did in which case the TV umpire didn't overturn the decision as there was no 'clear and obvious' error (how VAR should work but doesn't!!). The review of the ultra edge suggested there was contact between bat and ball - it was both clear and obvious yet the not out was up held? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 17 July, 2022 Share Posted 17 July, 2022 Was brilliant watching yesterday, got a chance of winning the County championship as well, should get the players to parade the trophies around St Mary's. Was always a good connection between the clubs when neighbours at The Dell / Northlands Road 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good old Henry Horton. He had a stance that looked as if he had been sitting on a chair and then someone had pulled the chair away. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 18 July, 2022 Share Posted 18 July, 2022 Bloody ridiculous from Lancashire to call foul ! It must be something in the water in the North West that makes them feel like they are always wronged!! The batsmen failed to hit the ball twice, bowled the first time, missed the second. Wouldn’t have mattered if the fielders had all been on the boundary drinking tea ! What did they want? Best of 5 goes? There were some dodgy decisions throughout that final, as a former PM said recently “thems the breaks” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lighthouse Posted 18 July, 2022 Share Posted 18 July, 2022 If a ball isn’t dead when the WK has it safely in hand and runs the length of the wicket to knock over both stumps, then it never will be. Imagine that happening on the first ball of a test match and the openers just keep running for 5 days straight. Match drawn on 8,463-0 off 0.1 overs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barsiem Posted 18 July, 2022 Share Posted 18 July, 2022 Tbf very view people have called foul on it, and of those some will be out of sheer embarrassment at having lost the game. Most lancs fans seem to acknowledge Hants deserved it in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted 18 July, 2022 Share Posted 18 July, 2022 Not sure why they are complaining about that - the fact they tried to run another to win when the game was clearly over was a bit ridiculous, would you really want to win like that ?. That said they do have a right to moan about the change in field setting, but that’s down to the umpires - they obviously didn’t tell Hampshire to set the same field, plus they snuck a man outside the circle earlier on. I think overall they are just gutted they threw away such a strong winning position so are trying to self justify it… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the on field umpires are the final judges of when the ball is dead and therefore when the match is over . I assume when it was safely in the wicketkeepers gloves and he broke the stumps that was it . The fact that both sets of stumps were broken and a stump taken out plus being touched by the ball removed all doubt 😄 Edited 18 July, 2022 by East Kent Saint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Saint Posted 18 July, 2022 Share Posted 18 July, 2022 There is a Hampshire Cricket thread in General Sports were I have posted an email from Mark Nicholas to the players. I will not repeat it on here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerx16 Posted 18 July, 2022 Share Posted 18 July, 2022 I refer colleagues to Weston's latest post on the Hampshire Cricket thread, giving the MCC's statement on the end of the match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
