Test The Ashes Fifth Test January 4-8 1000hrs @ The SCG

[Struggle]

How was that not paid a wide

 

[Sonny Hayes]

If Webster duplicates Green's knock and partnership with Smith, we practically put the possibility of a win out of England's hands.

Frustrating, undoubtedly... but people seem to get more frustrated with him getting set and throwing his wicket away in the 30s than they would if he'd been clean bowled for 3.

Could have provided a lot more, but he's made a solid contribution.

They get frustrated because he had the chance to completely bat England out of the game, he then threw it away. Like he did in Melbourne and Adelaide and Brisbane.

It was a flat wicket with tired bowlers and the ball not doing a lot. It is legit perfect conditions and he threw it away.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

I just don't understand why you'd play a shot like that with someone out on the boundary. Dumb cricket.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

How was that not called a wide?

 

[cats_09]

Surely that should have been called a wide

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Potts is a sneaky chance at a rare double century here

 

[hawkman]

That should be a wide. Harrison would be proud of that one

 

[Gough]

The better question would be does anyone like Langer as a commentator?

Margaret Court.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Go the BBL now.

BBL is a joke competition with players dressed in Wiggles uniforms

 

[Bucking Beads]

Potts really is garbage.. Be staggered if he ever gets another test match

 

[Woody15]

Epic leave Smudge

 

[MarcMaverick]

Forehand smash from Smudge.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

How can you not call a wide umpire??

So wide, the umpire lost sight of the ball...

 

[Danger Zone]

Umpire genuinely must have forgotten to call wide there, that's outrageous.

 

[Andrew Mc]

we had a lady tell a couple to wait until the end of the over before coming through the aisle. hadn't seen anyone do that in years

Had that happen in Perth too. They'd waited until it was between balls (and it was Archer, so it wasn't as if there wasn't time). But nup, he was having none of it.

 

[two blue tiger]

What has ever happened to the short ball rule? Half this crap needs to be called as wides.

 

[icyflakes]

Smudge has the technical form of an 8 year old playing backyard cricket, how he's made that work so effectively is amazing.

 

[The Sultan]

plus he missed a full year in his prime due to the sandpaper incident

imo hes lucky to have ever played test cricket for Australia again

 

[Pistol Night]

Potts is a sneaky chance at a rare double century here

With no wickets. Pretty hard to do. I think most of us on here would struggle even so well done Pottsy. Ritchie, The Fonz and Mr C would be proud

 

[Black Diamond]

With Albanese not making the traditional day 3 appearance at the SCG test we miss the annual influx of idiots complaining about the PM appearing on TV and radio

He was booed and heckled last time he went to the eastern suburbs so best he stay away.

 

[sherb]

Just had a look. Yardley and Hogan both 5fers, and Wessels and Hookes both 140's

It was one of SL's early Tests.

Just looked it up - it was their 6th, but only their second ever home Test match.

 

[madjoe]

Why we having drinks with 40m left lol

 

[norway blue]

I’m having a drink break also
Clicked a can.

 

[DamoESP]

Look, he's trash but you've gotta give Potts some credit for continuing to just trudge in there and serve up those pies ball after ball, cant be good for the self-belief

 

[mike14]

That should be a wide. Harrison would be proud of that one
