Head doing a good job.

Australian cricket mantle should be: “ Never drop your Head”

Just seen the commentary for Starc's first wicket. A classic.

Are umpires afraid to call no balls ?

Reckon they just dont look as much anymore because theres supposed to be a constant review going on upstairs.

 

[franjon]

And just as I post that. Marnus hits a half tracker straight to point

It was almost pointed out. A s**t ball and he picked it out

I don’t understand how umpires ever managed to watch the bowlers feet and umpire the rest of the game tbh

Why is the keeper wearing a helmet? The throws from the fielders aren't that bad and nothing is getting past the batters when Leach is bowling.

Cowardice mainly.

Jack Russell stood up to Gladstone Small (and stumped Deano down leg side) wearing just a floppy.

Softcoks everywhere mate. Keeping wickets is not just a job, it’s an adventure.

Queensland opener. Been scoring some runs lately

 

[Lomas]

Any word on penalties for the slow over rate? 14 overs short is extraordinary.

Nothing yet as it's typically after the test, but I'm guessing it'll be fines plus test championship points.

Yep. Points deducted for slow over rates cost Australia a place in the Test Championship

Indeed.
England were fined match payments and docked championship points in the series against both India and NZ.
Therefore I'll assume the captain has been or will be suspended plus team members being fined their entire match fee (this time).

Fun fact.. I’m actually distantly related to Jack Russell through my fathers side of the family.

Dirty poms..

I don’t understand how umpires ever managed to watch the bowlers feet and umpire the rest of the game tbh

Erasmus must agree. He seems like a nice bloke, but he can't or won't make a decision. Nothing is ever out to him unless he refer's to the third umpire.

It’s not easy, even at the lowest levels. Basically a quick glance down is all you have time for as an umpire.

The interesting point about the 14 no balls bowled by stokes was that the reports stated that these were picked up by "Hawkeye" which suggests that the technology was working.

I don't know what vision or analytics data is available to the teams - we see Langer constantly checking his laptop. It seems strange that the English coaches were not aware of stokes overstepping on 50% of his delivers in his first spell. How he himself or his captain weren't aware that he was at least close to the line so frequently screams of amaturism. These guys measure runups and mark their spots based on extensive training and repetition. Stokes deserves missing out on the wicket of Warners. Karma.

I wish..
