Ben Stokes will be tough to get through. Waiting for the dam wall to burst here.

You are the one

Dazzler10 for PM

Good on Stokes for walking too. Not sure many players would in this scenario.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Stokes is making very difficult not to admire him as a cricketer by walking. Even if he knew he'd be out if we reviewed, there was every chance we wouldn't.

 

[Quinz]

One more before lunch please

 

[Dazzler9]

You're welcome, all.

Can we have Bairstow next please cricket gods? I can tolerate Denly for a while yet. Not fussy though. Cheers.

 

[Dazzler9]

Well, I tried. My spell is over, lunchbreak it is.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Must have just been a delayed signal to the cricket gods.

First time I've watched cricket in about 15 years, almost as big a joke as AFL these days.

You haven't watched any Cricket since 2004 ?

Nah used to be a huge fan, then went off it around the Clarke era (might be off in my timing).

 

[Carbine Chaos]

This stinks of a time wasting outfit holding on for another undeserved result.

Lyon's been trash all day.

C'mon...

Which part specifically?

Which part specifically?

Watching the naked eye call an LBW, then the third umpire have to review his call out loud to a crowd of soap dodgers booing for a few minutes

 

[Quinz]

Draw here would make a very one sided series amazingly still alive. Hard to believe.

Reminds me of our last tour in India. England will probably pull an amazing performance in the last test to win back the Ashes despite being outplayed almost all tour.

 

[ep2018]

This Aussie team can get ****ed.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

WE DID IT FOR YOU NZ

 

[Biggie]

Well done lads!!

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Is Tim Paine our best ever captain?

Discuss.

[Quinz]

You *en beauty!

Should have been last test but we got there.

Awesome!

 

[Ishmael_]

What a test match hey? Down to the last hour. England was brave, but it would have been criminal if they won a draw.

Australia's bowling attack is exceptional. Cummins may be the best fast bowler in the world for mine.

I'm very happy for Paine. Captained very well today. And really he has done exceptionally well since taking over.

JL and Paine have me properly enjoying the national side again for the first time in years. Very proud of this team.

 

[KBLT]

What. A. Match.
