Test The Ashes Second Test December 4-8 1430hrs @ The Gabba

[Bucking Beads]

I know why the aussies are doing this but the ICC need to stamp this rubbish out. Same with the slow over rates.
It has to be addressed. Nit one umpire has said a word here yet this over has taken like 8-10 minutes. Just ridiculous

Agreed completely. They should be into them every over.

 

[kozi]

10 vs 11 too going in with Doggett over Lyon

 

[k31th]

I've knocked over my wife's to do list this over.

A statistical impossibility

 

[Some Idiot]

There was a time many years ago when I used to think Starc was just a poor imitation of Mitch Johnson.

So glad he has proved me wrong.

I had him pidgeonholed as a white ball specialist, certainly proved me wrong

 

[k31th]

lol @ Root going for the ramp and toe-ending it

 

[Gethelred]

I'll fetch you some chalk before you attempt that shot again, Joe.

 

[TY24]

Maybe it's just me but in 26 years on this Earth I don't think I've ever once noticed or cared about over rates in red ball cricket

 

[Satan]

Rooting around now

 

[Jimthegreat]

Why is the mid off so far back to Archer.

 

[Plugger35]

Root is ramping, a declaration is on the cards if England don't get bowled out.

 

[Kapow!!!]

This field is some of the worst captaincy I've seen in a while. Why do we have 8 on the fence?

Why would you, the ICC do t care either

Start pinging them 5 runs for every over they are short and that would change player behaviour pretty quickly.

I have no idea how it could be implemented of course, just talking generally.

 

[k31th]

thought Carey might add a runout to his repertoire with that one

 

[Gethelred]

Alex Carey is having a hell of a day.

Wake up dude. We're wasting time so we bar less time tonight

 

[Around the Wicket]

pretty odd of Stokes not to have declared

Getting 300+ is more impressive than Australia being 0/20 at Stumps.. it’s not exactly hard batting atm

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

With all the faffing about between balls, why were so many staying deep with Archer on strike early in an over?

 

[TY24]

Watch the batting side start taking the piss at every opportunity as soon as you implement that

It's not fair to punish the bowling side for slow over rates because it's not entirely within their control

3rd umpire reviews, batters backing out of balls, glove changes all contribute to slow over rates

 

[Cold Sober]

One of the all time greatest centuries by one of the best Batsmen of the last 100 years, get around Sir Joe root

Obviously a woman of the English

 

[Gethelred]

Getting 300+ is more impressive than Australia being 0/20 at Stumps.. it’s not exactly hard batting atm

... against an old ball. Be a bit different against a new pill.

 

[Speck]

For all this declaration stuff - 272 isn't that great a total

 

[freo_leo29]

Lol we are taking the piss

 

[Woody15]

Quality time wasting here.

 

[Black Diamond]

Our over rate is pretty terrible.
