That’s you done, David.

2-212. Harris out

Root walked with his lbw, no review. Australia needs batsmen who a) are prepared to accept the verdict unless they hit the ball and b) are prepared to tell their batting partner not to waste a review. Every single review has been wrong, and then we haven’t had them when we we needed them.

Amazing that this series is still live. The door should have been shut multiple times now.

**** ME.

Another LBW?

The fix is in

 

[Roosurgence]

So it seems that it’s only given on field as lbw if you are an Australian batsman?

There should be a team rule to save the reviews for Smith.

If the batsmen used their bats, we'd be ok.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

The pitch is starting to play a few tricks.

 

[Roosurgence]

First the Stokes one and now the Leach decision where two absolute plumb lbw’s are turned down, but Broad going around wide on the crease is an insta trigger.

If you are giving those, start giving the plumb ones as well you cheating campaigners.

If Australia didn't waste their reviews on ridiculous calls, we wouldn't be crying about them.

It shouldn’t matter, if the umpire does his job a review is not required.

Those 2 decisions were as plumb as it gets, I’m not sure what doubt an umpire would have?

Everyone keeps talking about reviews, and keeps ignoring that these turkeys are missing plumb lbw decisions.

 

[DarwinRoo]

Ball tracker would have this ball as hitting middle stump

I’d still complain that the umpire gave this 50:50 one - if he hadn’t, Labuschagne would still be there - out but not the last one in Englands innings that was more clearly out.

If the pitch is getting harder to play that’s good for the prospects of a win, but you’d want to be sure of not losing first.

It's beggars belief that we can't just ****ing focus down and get a job done in these situations. Bat or ball. Last test with the ball and right ****ing now with the bat.

Don't stress too much. We're 259 in front and Smith is still in. 350 will be enough this time! I hope!

 

[EDFL follower]

I hope we get bowled out otherwise we will bat too long before declaring and could end up a draw. If this test is a draw u can guarantee a results pitch in the next one. We have to win this one while we r on top cos if we don’t and then lose the toss in the next test we could lose the ashes.

2 winnable positions, one loss and one pending.

 

[Groucho]

Smith only 82! Lift your game son

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Declared 382 ahead. Probably have 6 overs at them.
