I know Carey is only 5 tests in... but be very surprised if he's our long term solution.

Won’t last the subcontinent tour with the gaps he leaves in his technique.

His average will be below 10 after it.

How can the same ball, can be given out or not out, depending on umpires call, what a stupid rule

"'Umpire's call" represents the error margin in the system. So the machine itself cannot be sure, so may as well go with the umpire.

Fined for not appealing - celebrating before the decision

Aww does a man celebrating a plumb LBW offend you, precious?

Maybe Broad should send you a written apology if it will help dry the tears.

 

[Costanza_]

Scary amount of seam movement.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Need to get above 250.

 

[Plugger35]

fu** it would be so funny if Root and Broad went up and said something sarcastic to the stump mic

They wouldn't get away that it like Kohli did.

 

[Rowd072]

Not sure why that pitching outside leg rule is actually a rule.

If we didn't have this rule, cricket would be a disaster. Bowlers would bowl around the wicket all day and it would be a negative spectacle.

 

[Some Idiot]

The ball was a foot above the stumps on that leave. Wouldn't even talk about it if a top order batsman did that.

Even after being utterly embarrassed on the tour the English are the furthest from humble you’ll get. Carrying on like this in a dead rubber is hilarious

What should they do, wear ankle bracelets that shock them every time they get too happy?

The general cricket fan populous in Australia spends weeks out of every year moaning about how t20 franchise cricket gets too much attention and takes away from the importance of test cricket.

We now actually HAVE a legitimate test tournament where every match means something - and if you talk to anyone that’s actually played Test cricket they will tell you that there’s no such thing as a dead rubber anyway - and one team is enjoying it too much?

Need to get above 250.

They will be at least 6 down tonight.

Bookmark it.

Boland will have a field day in these conditions.

Doesn't offend me, I was just clarifying what the others were saying, which was the opposite of what you wrote. I don't mind bowlers carrying on, I do it myself

 

[Gethelred]

Cummins batting like Stuart Broad out there.

For whatever reason, seems to be staying leg side of the ball.

Don't like it, at all.

 

[Jimthegreat]

To stop negative bowling

How negative is it going to be. Umpire's can call deliberate negative bowling these days anyway.

Near impossible to hit in line and going on to hit to a right hander.

 

[Westend]

take that 4 more

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Lol that was awful fielding

 

[Moonwatcher]

Not sure if Malan or Stoinis.

 

[troybe]

The hookologist. Good grief.

Wood obviously doesn't think he will bat again against the Aussie quicks

 

[Jakksynn]

Bowling short excessively to tail Enders should be policed much heavier than it is. Genuinely dangerous and just a really cheap tactic

 

[doggies ftw]

Why are we throwing the bat, there’s 3 days left just take up time til tea then bowl them out it’s not rocket science

If you knew the history you’d know why spinners were going round pitching it a foot outside and hitting blokes in front

It’s baffling.

Not even half way through the test match.

See Wood off. Score off the others.

Green was trying to bat time but everyone else looks scared of the short ball and want to get out of the way of it

Yep get Robbo and his big gut on and whack him

Geez mate they are allowed to enjoy playing well, and the Ashes might be decided but this match still matters
