Imagine if this happens to WC in round 1....it'd be season over

That snicko didn’t seem convincing at all - lucky for Harris IMO

edit - more so lucky that it was overturned so quickly. I never feel like the snicko framerate is anywhere near fine enough to be able to differentiate between bat vs pad spikes but I guess the 3rd umps are probably pretty good at sussing it on the fly

 

[Biggie]

Very nice Stark

Very nice

 

[ConcreteWaters]

Leaving a ball on the stumps. What a shit show. Absolute minnows away from home

Decided to take a nap when we had Carey batting not expecting much from Aus. Wake up not surprised by our total, but by England shitting the bad again.

Two days, 24 wickets. Just refund the Day 5 tickets now.

Not to mention Hotspot is ****ing hopeless mate.

That was sensational cricket. Test cricket at it's best

The only thing that could save England from another loss here is more positive cases.

Cartwright hardly managed to middle one playing for the scorchdogs. Done very well for himself for the stars

Apparently players and families will be forced into bubbles and quarantine for the rest of the series. Feeling some schadenfreude right now.

Wasn't Pieterson complaining about "What's going on in Australia right now"? Meanwhile EPL teams are begging to get games rescheduled and the eastern seaboard is fast turning into a shit show. I understand that we're going to have to come to terms with it all at some point, but so many people want it both ways.

I'm going tomorrow, I'll be in the pub by midday.

My comment was referring to the fact that the Perth test was moved due to quarantine requirements, now they will quarantine/bubble regardless.

Yeah got that - pretty sure that's what KP was complaining about too.

Green really needs to make a contribution with the bat and in particular improve his technique against spin otherwise he really won't be an all rounder. His purple patch with the ball in Australia has been great but the team could really use some more solidity in the batting line up. We really are lucky that Starc and Cummins are no slouches with the bat and while they don't necessarily make large scores they can score quickly and add a good amount of runs in the tail.

You're talking about a 22 year old in just his 7th test.

He averages 50 plus in first class cricket so he obviously can bat.
Seems to be batting a bit timid at the moment.

Think you need to cut him some slack TBH.

Horses for courses selection policy paying off.

Looking forward to some random Tassie player getting a gig for the 5th test

Feel awesome for Boland, a potential 5-fer on debut with J. Roots wicket is one hell of a debut

Yeah ditto.
