More to the point, why do the f****** maggots allow the f****** poms to bowl up to 5 short pitched balls an over?

Yes, the umps are deliberately ignoring the 2 per over rule, all this short pitched bowling makes for shite cricket.

Maybe that's the definition of bazball, shite cricket, shite umpiring.

The Test has reached a truly bizarre point…

[shanegrambeau]

Never seen anything like this
Now what happens
Do we bowl bouncers and Line the boundary?

[asiu]

shitty two paced pitch
... the reason why the approach is a more than justified tactic , imo

('n really only that)

with an added bonus of ... stemming runs

***

quite the Test Match

...

as long as we Win

who gaf about the 'how'
or the third ump
or the sun challenged

How was Mitchell Stars catch ruled ‘not out’.

I have watched cricket for over 50 years and played for 30+ and I have never seen a more ridiculous overruling of a catch at any level than that of Starc’s catch last night.

Yes he could have not used the ball to control his landing, but he clearly caught it a meter or more above the ground and was never not in control of the ball.

Also agree on the short bowling.

I don’t care about whether the two bouncer rule per over should or shouldn’t be current, the fact is the rule has been totally ignored for both teams bowling. England for the bulk of Australia’s 2nd innings and Australia bowling to Brook.

[asiu]

oh yea , lol , of course !!

3 more

3 more what?

Tests?
Series against the Aussies?
Dropped sitters?

Great bowler, but certainly looks very near the end of a great career.

Does anyone know why all our players have peanut butter stains on their right lapels?

Great bowler, but certainly looks very near the end of a great career.

As an Australian, I hope it's the next 3 Tests. Let him drop as many sitters as he likes, he may be chaired off by Head and Smith.

He seems to be like that ageing, favourite pet, the hardest decision is also the best decision for all concerned.

Yeah poor Jimmy is looking his age, can’t hide him in the field, a few went straight thru him!

Always thought he was an overrated bowler too, granted he does well in ideal English conditions, but anything outside of that he’s quite average.

[Teflon]

Is Bairstow the most unhealthy and useless keeper getting around?
Looks like he’s dying for a pint and a big serve Yorkshire pudding at the local….
Iron gloves.

[asiu]

nowhere near as pretty as the aussies thats for sure n certain

Possibly should be playing darts but with hands like his he'd need to play in steel caps.

Overrated?

186 test matches
696 wickets at 26

The hair dye isn’t hiding his age, and he looks cooked but overrated is something that cannot be directed toward Anderson.

Yes he is better at home where he averages 24 than away, but nearly 300 wickets away at 29 is hardly the performance of a bowler who is quite average away from home.

Most of the greats were better on home conditions than abroad, or in conditions that suited their style.

[asiu]

that helps

one of the hobbits back in the shed

red headed hobbit needs to follow quickly

[The Fireman]

Poor poms.

[asiu]

hobbit #2 just ran himself out

haha bloody haha

[saynta]

The ugly f***wit must have forgotten he was involved in a game of cricket.

[asiu]

Carey has shown some smarts tonight

well worth his tucker

[asiu]

Broad is picking a fight with any aussie available

best shut up 'n survive d**khead

[The_Dud]

Why is Green just sending down waste high pies? Nothing more frustrating than watching it…

[The_Dud]

This is going to be Headingly all over again, brain dead bowling from Australia.
