Title: telegraph umpires challenge
Post by: jwebber86 on August 13, 2015, 05:48:13 PM: http://umpire.telegraph.co.uk/ (http://umpire.telegraph.co.uk/)

just come across this and thought it would be fun to share. plus somebody might win some tickets

i got 4 right the first time although i think they were wrong on one of them

did it a second time and got 5 right.

there was only 2 balls repeated in the second over from the first be interesting to know how many different balls there are

The game then froze and didn't show me ball 6. It must have realised its error!

Yeah, I've gone all Kryten on the leg spinner one. I know what they want me to say, but I just can't do it.

It's an orrr, it's an orrr, it's a banana.
