Tips for Tikay

[Marky147]

Great shout Neil, and Tikay wins an extra bottle because he has fat fingers

[Tal]

Good point, Marky. This had nothing to do with BadBeat.

Tikay's infallible misclicks take another handful of fivers.

Oooh!

We need that Baldrick clip, where he recites the poem, in the trenches.

BOOM BOOM BOOM, BOOM BOOM BOOM

BOOM BOOM BOOM, BOOM BOOM.

BOOM.

PS - thanks Neil. I promise never to call you Lord Grumpy again.

Why not just trust the umpire for everything except run outs and stumpings?

Wastes time.

the technology is good, and its meant to be there to remove the howler/human error decision

the problem is the use of the technology now has human error attached too

a sensible solution might be to remove teams reviews and for the 3rd umpire to call down each time there is a shocker, of which there won't be many

Anything to stop these tiresome debates between players to decide whether to use their review or not.

The system was designed to correct clear errors, not to be used tactically.

still makes me laugh

What defines a shocker though? You will end up blurring the lines even more imo.

yes thats fair

the umpires aren't good enough, on and off field. 3 or 4 shockers today, the latest the Smith non LBW which was plumb

doesn't help that the best umpires are Australian and English!!

Go back to home umpires then!

Worked for over 100 years, why not now?

..and a thank you to Mr Channing from me as well. Was reading your write up and watching Sky Poker Season 2 over lunch. Both were very entertaining.

I have no problem with this

If the best umpires are from a particular country, then let them umpire

no need for neutral umpires when technoliogy will show if they are systamatically displaying bias or not

the ICC does not agree (in part because of courruption fears in the sub continent)

There is no downside

Chompy had us put £150 at 8/1 (£125,£25 bets)

He then recommended a £450 lay (£150*3 at 4.0)

The position was therefore locked in at £750 if she wins, 0 if she loses


Run it, I would say.

I didn't recommend a lay. I haven't done any laying back at all, coz I'm hard. I mentioned it would be acceptable if TV's Tony Kendall wanted to take the freebie. Merenovice then snapped it off in record time.

Yup, best bet of the year from Chompster and the lay at was a bad bet, the price was tumbling just as he predicted....obv I never backed it coz Tikay told me Chompy's clueless

[Longy]

It might work now with home umpires it sure as hell didn't in the past. Just listen to anybody who toured Australia back in the day, go through scorecards see if the touring side ever got an lbw decision the whole series.

It can't be that long ago when home umpires stood.

10 years?

The original fav has been withdrawn in the Hunt Ball race.

Obviously makes life easier but with the hefty rule 4.

I have found some quotes from the new trainer which suggest whilst fit this is a prep for something in a few weeks time.

OK horsey, no worries, it is what it is, can't be helped. Gambling is rarely risk free......
