*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[Ruckus]

It's amazing how many decisions by umpires are overturned. It must be close to 50%. I don't care what anyone says about it, the DRS is gold.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Just shows how ******** the BCCI is, tbh.

 

[morgieb]

Some weird umpiring decisions recently. The good thing for us is that the lead is nearing 300.

 

[vicleggie]

Need another one quickly here. Lead approaching 300.

Said yesterday that I want us batting after drinks in the afternoon.

No chance. you'll be battLing then though.

 

[Spark]

Yeah Erasmus has had a reasonable game so far but that was poor. It hit him well above the knee-roll and on this ground those simply shouldn't be given.

 

[Noble One]

Always the toughest LBW decision to make those ones. The umpire sees a ball hitting the batsman on the back pad in line with the stumps, it's actually incredible how high the ball can travel after hitting the bad. It barely has a metre to travel.

Cracking session. England will want to get Smith early, if he hangs around the run-rate will stay > 4.

 

[GIMH]

It's a joke that India V South Africa isn't using it, it really is.

 

[GotSpin]

Umpiring has been woeful. Both steve and Huss would have been unfairly given out

 

[vicleggie]

shows how stupid watson is for wasting a challenge too.

Yes, the only thing it had going for it was that it hit the back leg.

 

[_Ed_]

UDRS proving its worth again.

Yep.

Those two poor decisions would have had a huge influence on the match, and possibly the series.

 

[Spark]

shows how stupid watson is for wasting a challenge too.

To be fair he felt that he hit it. But once it came on the screens and it was clear he'd missed it by some distance, should marched straight off.

We seemed to have fallen into the trap of bowling short on a bouncey pitch.

We've forgotten what we did so well at Adelaide, need to keep it tight. Even in the 1st innings they got away.

I know MJ did the damage, but the others also did a good job of keeping things tight.

 

[GIMH]

My favourite ever thing about UDRS has defo been the way Twatto made himself look an even bigger tool than he already was when his out was upheld before. Honestly, WAC. Anyone whoever calls another person a **** and then celebrates that ponce-haired prick needs serious questions asking.

Yep. An RPO of 3.7 when we aren't going super-aggressive is not good.

 

[GIMH]

Australia should declare during the break

 

[GotSpin]

GIMH should ****ing declare.

 

[GotSpin]

Still reckon this wicket has a bit in it tbh. It's no flat track

 

[GIMH]

GIMH should ****ing declare.

My love for you?

Okay, if I must.

 

[Spark]

There's definitely bounce there, and if you can put it in the right place a lot you'll ask questions. England haven't IMO, bowled way too short.
