hahaha holy sh*t smith is fun to watch

He's a few cans short of a six pack surely?

Absolute freak, though.

 

[Themanbun]

Ridiculous!

No way that is correct, not even close.

Shami is short but I think they need a new tape measure for the rest..........

I think it's correct. Bumrah isn't much taller than Kohli (they pose together on Instagram), nearly the same height, and when I saw Kohli he would have been about 5'8-5'9.

Siraj and Yadav at least look the same height as Bumrah when pictured side by side.

Sorry I can't believe it.

I've seen Bumrah next to Shami and he's clearly taller - as in not close......

If anything I think they've over measured Shami! He's shorter than Kohli here so definitely not 178.

As you can see - I'm not a fan of land of the giants

Oh yeah well that's a possibility too......

I just knew Shami was shorter so as soon as I say his height I pulled the ridiculous card! ha

 

[ChoppyGun]

I also think Shami is about 47yo.......

Just home now and haven't been watching.

Bloody hell our batting is shithouse. Again Smith saves us from complete disaster (I know he's been out of form)

Wade might need to go as well.

I’m a bit of a Wade fan but his shot today was disgraceful. Middle order collapse again was pathetic. Smith masterclass helped. Not sure how this game will pan out now. Indians off to a good start.

I've said all along Wade is not a middle order batsman yet others say he is. He's tough and gives it his all but if he is not keeping surely we have more talented batsmen available.

He hasn't got the right temperament either.

 

[Sillygit]

yea this is definitely not gunna be enough runs

Not a good enough keeper and averages 31 so shouldn't be batting in the top 6. Does provide a bit of lip I suppose

That is 2 shocking shots he has played in 5 hits.

3 overs till the new ball, not long till lunch and plays that crap. Exposed a young kid and the tail to a fired up Bumrah. That shot changed the match.

He's on thin ice.

 

[Themanbun]

Agreed ^

I love Wade but you just cannot do that as a number 5.

Completely unacceptable.

As you know I'm a biased Tasmanian but it's simply not good enough.

If he was a kid sure I could understand more but he should know better.

 

[ChoppyGun]

This "umpires call" on a review is for the bin.

If the technology isn't accurate enough don't use it.

If it is accurate and the balls hitting the stumps it's out and who cares what the umpire said initially.

Laughable and needs reviewing.

Talking about Labuschagne.

 

[LB2Snake]

Never take on Jadeja

He’s a ripping fielder isn’t he.

Warnie is an A grade douche bag, he had another dig at Steve Waugh today, when Smith was batting with the tail.

Yep, absolute flog. Genuinely takes pride in shitting on blokes trying their guts out.

Not that I liked Waugh much, either.

Not sure I agree with you on this.

Steve Waugh is not exactly liked by anybody, including his own brother.

It's Symonds who was much nastier than Warne imo

They were both ridiculous. If you can't be paid to be professional for three hours then **** off and let someone else take the cushy job, IMO.

Sure I don't disagree.

Warne is a dick sure but has charisma - Symonds honestly doesn't have a brain. He needs to go.

It's a shame because I really like Roy as a commentator.

I love his down to earth nature but I find him pretty stupid sorry. I'm sure a top fella
