Shocked home country playing in a WC final and we have empty seats.

This shouldn't be a hard chase.
Again it's a sell out so i don't really get your point.

We don't watch Cricket over here like the sub continent do? (As you know!)

As per lat more than 50% of the ball has to be hitting for it to overturn umpire's decision.
That's a stupid law. I realize there is a margin of error with the prediction of the path but that's stupid. Maybe leave it up to 3rd umpire?

Because loads of Indian fans bought tickets then didn’t go or hand them back to be re bought?

Don't agree at all.
These cricket umpires are exceptionally good and the video is there to confirm the decision.
Given the small diameter of a cricket ball, my view is that the law is correct.

I see. Such a shame many fans have been deprived of watching the game live at Lords.

Fair enough.

Root is key. Root could make this easy. I don't think it'll be easy without him.

Not great from Roy today, could’ve easily gone first ball and not a big score.

But his contribution over the tournament has been huge. England wouldn’t have reached the semi finals without him

Those empty seats are a disgrace

Am here and there are still quite a few Indians outside stadium trying the sell their ticket at half time.

Going price was £1500 pre game and £500 at innings change.

Game is a sell out many times over, just some ticket holders have not entered stadium. But not sure what ICC can do about that.

cnuts, the lot of them.

Cancel unused tickets after 2/3 hours and sell them to the public at £20 a pop.

One more off topic post...

This ashes upcoming ashes is going to be dire isn't it? Neither of these teams has played first class cricket for ages.

Great idea!

Though stadium also full of placid passive England fans and way too many vaguely interested corporates.

Not much support or atmosphere being generated from England fans which is very odd. We are currently being outsung by 25 kiwi’s

Less than the seam was so about 40-45%. Law is stupid anyway. I can understand not wanting to give the wicket when the ball is just kissing stumps but otherwise hawkeye should be used as an absolute.
LBW law has always been if the umpire thinks the bowl is hitting the stumps it is out. Simples. Obviously pitching outside the leg stump being the exception.
