@patergaskin Effectively yes - though I can see how the average reader of these comments could have a similar perception. I was merely trying to assist you in noticing that your complete lack of logical process throughout your conversation really undermined what you were trying to say. Plus, if t...

@hyggo1 Yes, that is how the song ends - there's also a hint of 'Greensleeves'.

@22owala I believe he means the original recording.

@newbedfordsox Yes, you are correct, however the decision of 'out' was not given because the umpire wished to use the video review, therefore the ball was still 'live' for them to attempt the second runout - once it was confirmed by the third umpire that it was out, then anything subsequent to th...

@dralbert657 No, sorry - you are incorrect: Law 28.1(b): 'The disturbance of a bail, whether temporary or not, shall not constitute its complete removal from the top of the stumps' - as they say in the trade, 'trust me, I'm an umpire'.

Looks like the umpire's made a bit of a shocker there - mind you, I'm not sure you can generalise this as 'crap English umpiring' - slightly unfair to the rest of us.

@spideysoms1 No, it certainly isn't: Law 28.1 - 'The wicket is put down if a bail is completely removed from the top of the stumps or a stump removed from the ground...(v) by a fielder with his hand or arm, providing that the ball is held in the hand or hands so used, or in the hand of the arm so...

@dv713 I've had this happen in a match before - in my [doubles partner's] case, the ball appeared to go into the pocket with topspin, and upon hitting the bottom of the pocket, grip with the spin and ride up the back of the pocket and back out onto the table - absolutely ridiculous, but of course...

@sachinsinha I do apologise - what I suggested only applies to matches in England (played under the guise of ECB) - for some reason when ECB sent us umpires the 2010 law changes they amalgamated this own change to English 'playing regulations' to the various MCC law changes.

@haxxoromg Slightly pedantic, don't you think?

@turnex1 Over-repetition in modern music is a serial problem (funny that) - on the point of this song however, I'd have to disagree - I think it's excellent - being a big fan of '60s and '70s Motown/soul/RnB I find the style is making a refreshing comeback - moreover, he does a great vocal and un...

@tobz5050 Watching it I'm inclined to think he was pointing at the dislodged bail, actually - Prior's a pretty good 'keeper, he'd have known if Johnson's foot was grounded or not - as it was, it never even left the ground.

@TheMadcowwww Actually, obstructing the field can be anything from that to shouting to distract someone from taking a catch - clear case of handled the ball here, but I don't know why he didn't have the presence of mind to glove it away whilst still holding the bat in that hand, or the bat - lega...

@cwickster4 In fairness you can make a pretty good argument it's not technically out anyway, as you can't be run out if you have left your ground to avoid injury (i.e. being hit by the ball) - in any case they changed the law last October to the effect that once you've grounded your foot behind t...
