Australia V England 2nd test of the 2017/18 Ashes @Adelaide Oval

[danielnajdek]

Thanks ump you pleb.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Wtf was that call?!!!

 

[Aussie_boy]

2 things I don't understand:
1. How can Smith be given out last night and that not be given.
2. Why does Smith not review that when you don't lose a challenge if it's umps call.

 

[Mkcaptain]

KP is spot on. That is shocking umpiring.

 

[mike14]

Why the **** wouldn't you review that?

Why wouldn't the umpire give it? Horrendous non decision by him as well. Embarrassing that they gave the Handscomb shoulder one earlier today and not that

 

[DaRick]

Smith not helping himself...

 

[dumb]

smith has always been a defensive captain... probably because he's even closer to the brittle batting line up than we are.

declaration itself was part smith's defensiveness, part sports science.

I doubt Smith realises point 2

 

[The Casey Cat]

I will never forgive Smith for not reviewing that.

Bring in Cameron White.

Can't blame him too much. When umpire doesn't give it can't be clipping and it looked in real time like their was doubts on height or going down leg. Should have been given out by central though.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Idiot Smith!!! You have the protection at least of Umpires Call to keep your review.

 

[2006_Eagles]

Disgraceful decision by the umpire

Did look going down leg, that's why they didn't review

If umpy is not 100% sure, don't give it

 

[smasha]

Kiwi umpire cheating.

 

[Andrew Mc]

Given you don't lose the review for umpire's call - how the hell do you not review that? No way it comes up green lights.

Yeah, that's a weird one - with the new "umpires call", that's worth a shot for sure. Must admit my first thought was sliding down leg, but was close.

There is that as well.

Truly mind boggling from all parties involved.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Absolute ******* dog of an umpire. Nothing but a piece of ******* filth. He's lucky we're good blokes otherwise he'd be in a box.

How does he not give it out, shocking, absolutely shocking decision.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

How did the umps give everything out when we were batting yet when the poms are they give nothing

 

[ams4crows]

Worst bloody umpires

 

[catpremier 07]

Jeez. Umpiring has been woeful this test

 

[new breed]

Smithy under the pump never reviewed when you have two reviews ...plumbo that one .

 

[Beutbrute]

Do you realise that the number one trending hashtag on BigFooty is #InMarshWeTrust

I assumed that was for Mitch as he's at least doubled every single Australian batsman in their last innings. Can't be far from the call up surely

 

[Richard Pryor]

There have been so many howlers that have been overturned, was bound to be one that didn't. Without the DRS the series would be a write-off in terms of skill having much to do with it.

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

Back to the Otago grade comp for Gaffney after this Test.

Diabolical.

 

[smasha]

Kiwi ref rorted us Wallabies Poms game also.

Sent two Aussies off for trivial things then called a legitimate try offside.

Plugger35 ,your thoughts?

 

[Mr_Nyah]

I see the trigger-happy umps have become conservative sometime between firing anyone that moved last night and the start of England’s innings...

 

[ams4crows]

Bloody hell Stac ******* poo bowling
