How can you jump from out of play ?

What is to stop someone standing 3m over the boundary and jumping and tapping it back in ?

 

[Balls In]

Hang on, he stood on the rope when he did the second juggle?

Edit and threw it initially with a leg planted a step outside the rope?

Whatever

How can you jump from out of play ?

First touch has to be in bounds, can't be grounded outside the rope while in contact with the ball otherwise you're fine

 

[Barrybran]

We played like shit but I think the umpires got that last one wrong. No doubt the rules permit going out of the field of play but I thought you had to come back into the field of play to complete the catch.

Used to be the rule but they changed it

When does the Shield restart?

 

[Balls In]

Chasing any score is hard when you replace both openers, your captain, and best hitter. Agar is a disgrace.

 

[DanWCE]

Credit to you all for watching. I grabbed the childrens bed time routine with both hands

 

[Tugga27]

Agree but on the same measure he shouldn't be anywhere near the captaincy and arguably the side either.

"Shouldnt be near the side".
Don't be silly.
Still made more than 300 runs and took wickets.

Agree and yet we decided to chase.

 

[Tugga27]

Oh well.

Just wasn't our year.
We've had a good run.

The Scorchers don't get much wrong, but giving Whiteman a contract was deplorable.

 

[Westend]

One of the worst top 3's in our history but yeah, let us chase.
Terrible decision at the toss.

The trouble we have, is we can't bowl sides out for under 150 and we can't make 150.

Losing Turner and Richo was the straw that broke the camel's back I guess.

As I said previously tuggs Inglis had to open When Crawley left ..too much pressure on him and Hardie each game to score the runs add the injuries and you are going to struggle

It’s not all that bad time to get some wa lads back next year

Phillipe and cartwright for me

Final catch was juggled with a foot on the rope. Not out

The whole you can alley oop it whist standing out of the field of play makes no sense to me .

 

[Bacchus]

Blokes averaging 16 and 20 with the ball in their short careers arent test quality? OK then mate.
Agree with your last sentance and on exposed form in the long format Nesser and Boland both are better than Morris. His time will come but if the quartet are fit, they have earnt the spot and should keep it.

No chance future Australian test sides will be featuring Neser and Boland.

Boland had a couple of amazing tests but was totally shown up in England.

Neser is an honest first class player, nothing more.

These facts remain irrespective of small sample statistics.

Maybe but really wouldn't have made any difference. Still needed 50 off 20 with 1 wicket

Batting was always the weakness in this team and they shat the bed big time when it mattered. They should've cruised that score in

 

[Bacchus]

He is like the sheed of the scorchers

Don't insult Sheed

These facts remain your opinion, nothing more.
Results say otherwise.
I dont think they are the future but most likely next in line if required.

You are not backward in asserting your own opinions as facts.

Do you honestly expect to see Boland and Neser in Australian test teams.

Touring Timbuktu perhaps.

 

[FKASC]

Had friends come over for dinner which was perfect timing to prevent me watching this shite. Thank god for that.

Hopefully see some movement in the squad next season. Need to bat deeper. Hopefully Connolly can develop into the big hitting all rounder Agar used to be.

Also Starc being the more consistent comparison now is an incredible full circle moment.

At the same age as Morris is Starc was getting named player of the World Cup and taking 18 wickets in the ashes, while Morris is still being spoken about in terms of ‘got potential because raw pace’.

I think nesser would have helped us win vs India at the gabba last time they were here . It was his home ground and has a very good record in shield.

Instead we had a cooked starc who was out of form and apparently playing through injury .

Feel free to quote these "factual opinions."
You wont because I haven't.
Given we are unchanged going into Brisbane with 2 tests only in NZ and then no more until next Aus summer I dont expect to see either feature unless injury dictates. Even if it does, Morris is a real chance but would depend on who went out. Morris for starc Nesser for Cummins, Boland for Haze is my prediction.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Oh well, we can't win every year. As long as the Sixers lose I'm OK.
