Copeland is so plastic and fake.

**** off.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Not sure why that pitching outside leg rule is actually a rule.

To stop Grimmett & O’Reilly in England.

 

[deanc]

These blokes love throwing their hands up at a clear decision. Serves you right for running down the pitch like a w***er

Broad appealing for an LBW:

 

[Coasters7]

Even after being utterly embarrassed on the tour the English are the furthest from humble you’ll get. Carrying on like this in a dead rubber is hilarious

 

[Jimthegreat]

Otherwise bowlers would just bowl around the wicket at the legs all day. Never see a other cut or cover drive

They'd still have to hit in line and go on to hit. Hard to do that to a right hander around the wicket.

 

[Gethelred]

All this has exposed at all is that the entire Australian batting lineup can't play a back foot defense on a leg stump line.

 

[TigerCraig]

And the reaction in this thread was that Broad should be fined for appealing. Almost frightening how stupid and biased people are.

Fined for not appealing - celebrating before the decision

 

[BarryMorgan]

Is there anything more whiny than an Australian cricket fan?

Virat Kohli?

 

[Tyberious Funk]

Is there anything more whiny than an Australian cricket fan?

An English batsman complaining about the sightscreen?

 

[rippersnipper]

We've really blown this match. Those dropped catches and non-reviews cost us so many runs, and this batting performance has been an absolute joke.

 

[Pippen94]

so much for the promotion starc...that is poor

Better when he looks to score at 9

 

[FreoRicci]

31 is usually peak for batsman. Looks like slump to me but yeah there are always exception.
Usually Ponting as example is weird as he was even older when he supposedly lost it

Harsh on smith. Would’ve been on 2-3000 more runs had COVID then the overreaction 1 Year ban not hit him.
Besides, England know Smith more then any other country given how often he plays them.

 

[Gethelred]

Hit it?

 

[Aussie_boy]

That's out unless he's inside edged it

 

[BarryMorgan]

what do you think of marnus and his ridiculous appeals?

Completely irrelevant.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Australia won't do shit until next summer and they'll start winning again lol.. might beat Sri Lanka but only because there in a massive rebuild.

 

[Cleavy]

Starcs promotion f’ed his batting mindset

all the media hype about Starc's batting did him no favours

 

[Torz]

Ducking a yorker is a solid tactic.

 

[Westend]

Cummins should never be below Starc

Boys club

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

That is down offside.

 

[Sphynx]

Get Blocker a guide dog

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Great nut from wood

 

[Chism]

Not out. Missing off stump

 

[Moonwatcher]

Does straighten a little.

 

[Aussie_boy]
