Never thought I would see the day that Smith would be set up like that.

Never thought I would see the day that Smith would be set up like that.

Bloody hopeless.

770 runs for the series at 110.00.

Had to miss out at some stage.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

We’re not holding back. Everyone is trying to smash the ball. Circumspection has its advantages.

 

[I bleed Blue]

We need Mike Hussey to come in next to steady the ship.

Gilly to come in at 7 and blast a ton.

Then dizzy Gillespie to make a double hundred.

Job sorted.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Come on Wadey. We don’t have to win it today.

 

[Blues_1864]

Hehehe

Umpiring in regards to no-balls has been terrible, so many missed and not called which makes it hard for the bowlers to adjust their run ups.

Yeah but it’s still funny.

Exactly. God knows how many they miss. Then there is surprise when a wicket is taken on a no ball.

I'm sure games have been won or lost due to missing no balls. Every run counts. Not just the wicket balls.

 

[I bleed Blue]

283 to go

 

[Just Kreuzing]

They just showed Woakes bowled a no-ball the delivery prior to the one that took a wicket as well which was not called also.

If they check every delivery properly then it gives him a chance to adjust their foot position or run up to prevent situations like we are now seeing.

Umpires used to let you know when your front foot was even getting close to a no-ball.

I wonder how many runs were missed in the close 3rd test result.

 

[I bleed Blue]

The old 5 runs for hitting the helmet trick.

You don't see that every day

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Yeah but it’s still funny.

Shit yeah, but we bowled a few ourselves and I was screaming at the TV the past 2 nights for the umpires to call them so Cummins & Hazelwood could adjust.

Nearly went to the rope also, not many 9’s scored off 1 ball...

 

[I bleed Blue]

Just when I thought we were getting something going.

What a shit shot from Marsh

 

[mediumsizered]

Mitch Marsh hang your head in shame.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Mitch Marsh cannot take up a batters spot. 3rd seamer and number 7. Ergo doesn’t play.

What a s**t shot from Marsh

Yep just got to smash those balls like Wade has been doing to take the close catchers out of play.

Like Siddle, should be around the side only when we tour England as a bowler, if he can nick the spot off one of the regular paceman.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Mitch Marsh hang your head in shame.

Such a soft dismissal.

 

[Gethelred]

Yep just got to smash those balls at the infielders, aiming for their ankles, to take the close catchers out of play.

EFA

 

[Gethelred]

You hit em a few times, they'll move or their captain and the bowler will become very unpopular.

Raining in Sunbury. Get ‘em off.
