I blame you ya ********. Jones was plumb last night

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Yeah but Kasper was plumb early on in his innings today. Two wrongs do make a right in this case.

Fair go, I challenge anyone to honestly say they thought that was out in real-time. On replay it looked like it hit im on off but at the time it seemed to hit him outside off.
Didnt see the Jones one though.

 

[Top Dog]

Pietersen should have been out first ball FFS!

 

[Cooldude]

Was thinking to myself if it got down to 1 run, then the Rudi Koezten "1 short" on Langer when he so obviously put the bat over the line was gonna be the one

 

[archibald]

Poor game by billy. Bad decisions for both england and australia

 

[silky-smooth]

Shoulda, coulda, woulda. It's over. Wanna join me on this side of the bridge?

I blame our top order. Not the umpires. Oh, and Ponting for his crap call at the toss.

But that's history. Bring on the Third Test! We have an exciting series now.

Eeeexactly.

 

[Cooldude]

We were at the receiving end of some extremely generous umpiring from Koezten yesterday, without him we would've been chasing way more

 

[eddiesmith]

The Jones one looked to be sliding down leg on first view of it at full speed

As Mike Holding said, "even the man who fixes pipes couldn't be plumber".

Spot on. Irresponsible batting from our top order when they had the conditions to make good runs was one of the biggest factors in the loss.
Oh, and letting the England tail wag didn't help.

I say combine that one with the 'dead ball' call this morning on warney...theres your ********ing 2 runs!

 

[babydoll]

no excuses here. the bottom line is that we were 100 runs behind after the 1st innings. I told a work mate Friday nite before I went home that if Aus makes <350, Aust lose. 350-450 will be 50/50, >450 Aus will win. I was right.

I gave it out in real time, it wasnt that hard to give. I thought it was hitting leg, but replays showed middle. There was no doubt however.

 

[Jaymin]

It looked to be careering into middle half way up from where i was sitting. Strangely enough Hawkeye confirmed it.

Oh well.

So much for your Bowden is the best umpire in the world?

Taufel >>>> Bowden

 

[blangerang]

i hate him after it aswell

but in the next test ponting, hayden and even clarke need to make some runs or there gonna be in the ******** big time... hopefully we will have mcgrath back by the test 4 which we cood wrap up the series
