:lol: There's no accounting for taste I suppose

Well they use half a ball I believe which is probably a generous margin of error given the technology is constantly improving and so on but you have to have a standard and I also the players, officials etc. need to have confidence in it. I think it's generally accepted it's more accurate than that margin of error though.

Think we've shown a bit of fight and spirit of late which also goes a long way. As the mackems have shown in recent years.

He bought Mitrovic rather than Austin because he gambled on a better potential return on the investment with the former

There's a margin of error in the technology being used so it makes perfect sense to side with the umpire if it's a marginal call. It's predicting where the ball would've gone so it's not like goal line technology which is demonstrating where it did go. The umpire's pride doesn't come into it as far as I can see. The biggest 'flaw', if you like, is that it's only used if both countries agree upon it, because the ICC is in India's pocket.

Aye, I tend to think playing well and losing is a bad sign rather than cause for optimism.

Aye, I would agree with that. I think a few pundits (like Vaughan) have been saying it for a while. Seems very unfair at times

Changed about 3 years ago iirc. DRS is a relatively recent concept anyway

How was it a review wasted? You get another 2 after 80 overs

Don't curse it now!

43 points will easily be enough to stay up this year. I'd be over moon with that

I did wonder who got that job with Defoe. Congrats

Sad news. Did loads of theatre work for the RSA etc. as well as his many film roles. RIP

I doubt it like.

I think the league position makes more signings much more likely is what I meant really.

On worse players who've made less of an impact :lol: Exactly what Ashley deserves though.

Mitrovic can play after the new striker gets injured during his home debut.

I suppose the 'positive' is the owner will probably realise we need a LB and a striker now too.

Quality, my dear old thing

Renton's right btw.

All aboard the rofflecopter. BAWG & SMB are in town.

I think the lack of options explains his decisions
