McKenzie is not out
In reply to Chrissy
Yup, no ball!!!!!
In reply to Chrissy
No ball or not it was a dunce shot
In reply to Chrissy
He should burn all his gloves, pads, bat etc.. after that shot.
In reply to Chrissy
Given out for the shot. However I too cannot see a thing behind the line.
In reply to FanAttick
Dat too is true
In reply to Chrissy
He’s out. Doesn’t seem that he wants to be out there.
Guess he wants his jerk chicken before everyone else.
He and Braithwaite dismissals are extremely poor.
No fight
No sense
They still robbing us despite the technology at their disposal. The 3rd /TV Umpire should have overruled that. Nitin Menon is from India.
No ball. And no brain shot.
In reply to FanAttick
Yes very bad shot at any level
End of the road mckenzie
In reply to velo
He’s not showing the fight at all.
Walks into the test team but is not repaying the faith shown in him.
He will need to play more first class cricket and come again.
In reply to kern
Caan bat?
In reply to Chrissy
Its not a no ball. The heel does not have to be grounded.
The law states that : the bowler's front foot must land with some part of the foot, whether grounded or raised, behind the popping crease
He's out and also out of his depth.
In reply to voiceofreason
probably was a no ball but was a half-hearted shot an no match awareness in the knowledge of being so close to lunch ...seems like these guys have to be taught the bare bones that if yuh gah half a brain cell yuh should know!!
In reply to Maispwi
Based on my eyesight his foot was raised on the line which belongs to the umpire.
In reply to CCW
They were instructed to be more positive but there is a thin line between positive stroke play and recklessness. Louis and Edwards both crossed that line!
In reply to voiceofreason
The no ball is judged at first impact of the foot at which time part of his raised heel was behind the line. Off spinners frequently turn their heels on delivery and that creates the illusion dat they have overstepped by the time the delivery action is completed
In reply to kern
Brathwaite or Louis. Brathwaite was out to a decent short delivery which he could have left but decided to play. But Louis gifted his wicket, much like McKenzie did.
In reply to spider
There was nothing special about that Brathwaite delivery. His indecisiveness caused his downfall. Louis needs to use his feet instead of only depending on his reach. Like his positive approach and i believe he will eventually convert one of these starts.
In reply to velo
I guess you would rather see Bonner out there even if clad with chest and ribs padding, and competing with Kraigg for the Blockers' Delight award.
In reply to voiceofreason
there's a fine line between positivity an recklessness...the shot before was a recklessness cowswipe that bought him a boundary that obviously went to his head so he tried it again an holed out ....after all the hard work in perfect batting conditions it was wasteful an he might not get a better chance in the series to register a lil half century but looks a good prospect an hope he's a quick learner!
In reply to CCW
Louis and Braithwaite both played cross-batted shots to the spinner when all the had to do his chip n drive to long off
In reply to spider
Braithwaite is the worst of the 3 because
1. He’s the captain
2. He saw the trap
3. He can’t play the pull or hook shot
4. His team was in a dominant post Orion
5. He’s close to a half century
In reply to voiceofreason
While he was walking off they could have called him back. Did they report that the technology failed right at that moment?
Anyway in the final analysis McKenzie played a dumb shot. That's the bigger issue
In reply to InHindsight
Both are big issues
In reply to Chrissy
In reply to Chrissy
Saw it.
You are most correct
In reply to Maispwi
Au contraire...no one said it had to be grounded...
it most certainly has to be BEHIND the line...
If you can see anything behind that line bro...I have some needles need threading you can help me with.
In reply to powen001
Yea there wasn't ANYTHING behind the line, but he deserved to be sent packing for playing that half hearted shot on a placid wicket in the first place.
In reply to 1Desiabnu
If that was a practice.. naaaaaf men would be walking back to the Pavillion
In reply to powen001
When I was a yute, my grandfather used to watch us play and when he was around anyone who hit the ball in the air was automatically out, and sometimes we even had to end the cricket match. He must be rolling in his grave with this t20 age.
In reply to 1Desiabnu
HA HA HA I had some of those days too!!
Everton Weeks preached that and many a father adopted that-
Hit in the air - yuh Out !
In reply to kern
add never had to play a shot
In reply to Chrissy
The comms knew it, they hushed it up.
Lemme axe a stewpid question...why didn't likkle Kirk contest the out?
A batsman should ALWAYS be penalized for playing a shot like that. He should be given out twice for that garbage shot.I got out like that before playing Headley Cup Cricket when I was 14 and I cried. Nonsense ooooh!
In reply to chantilly
You know when I saw the shot I was like ok boy you can't play next game seriously. Lol
In reply to chantilly
That is bare crap
Thanks All for this thread./ Missed the dismissals but I got some
good info here. I have seen McKenzie gift his wicket too often with poor
shots. So I am not surprised .
That young man must learn to Value his wicket..this is Test cricket.
But I LMAO at Chantilly 's take.
I have seen umpire give out batsmen for LBW simply because he played across the line
even though the ball is at 6th stump. And he tells the batter why he gave him out too.
In reply to hubert
Yuh right to laugh
In reply to hubert
On another thread I listed a group of thosevid consider 'hood finds' forvtest and possibly other formats namely
Hodge
Seales
Athanaze
Motie
* M Loius
and Sinclair
I didn't include McKenzie but not because he lacks the talent. He may well become a fine player but for me personally he hasn't distinguished himself to be considered
.

You grandfather was Sir Everton, at coaching session he applied the same method to us as your grandfather did. Ater each coaching session the capt and the bowler had to set field and give an reason why the field was set.
In reply to InHindsight
Mckenzie does not put value on his wicket..looks good for a short spell then plays awfully poor shot to
give his hand away. Perhaps he is gearing for T20 career..Has a lot to do to work on if he wants a Test career.
In reply to Chrissy
Yep, Clearly a no ball
In reply to tc1
There is a time for getting batsmen to plan along the ground in training.
Too say to a batsman in any game that to hit the ball in the air is out, is ludicrous.
I have been playing cricket for years (I'm 62)
I deliberately play in the air over fielders.
There are plenty of gaps in the air.
What about hitting 6's"
Have any player in history hit a 6 along the ground?
and I'm not talking about overthrows etc. a straight up 6?
Lofting a ball to a fielder is one thing,
but to say that one must hit the ball along the ground is juvenile.
No disrespect to Sir Everton Weeks,
But his style of cricket is not for everyone.
Sir Viv made more than Sir Weeks with plenty of airy shots.
Prolonging the inevitable drop. He is low on confidence and form since FC comp. Body movement, always hanging his head.

Better get that old Sammy Siddown talk with then
