***Official*** 4th Test at the MCG

[Spark]

I'm genuinely not joking,

I think you're brought up to bend the rules. Win at all costs.

You can take it as a joke but history suggests otherwise.

I'm glad you're not joking, because you seem incapable of going more than four posts without saying it.

You need more material my man

"No one liked my joke the first time, but maybe the 6000th attempt will get a rise out of someone"

Tbf on him, after this series to date and that dubious dismissal, he should be forgiven the three-peat rant.

No, it's not as if he did it all throughout Adelaide and Brisbane and stank up those threads too.

 

[Cabinet96]

This is hilarious. Three balls with the field up and three boundaries in the same spot so far.

 

[91Jmay]

In no way should have we even considered a declaration. Marsh is Australia’s Moeen Ali

 

[Spark]

If we were giving the benefit of the doubt...yeah shouldn't have been out

There's no way the soft signal should have been out. But the video just looks completely inconclusive to me.

 

[Zinzan]

The soft signal **** is absolute horse**** been saying it for ages

This is where rugby's got it right atm. They have soft-signals too, but if they don't have a clue, they'll ask the video ref the simple try or no-try question.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Root should’ve declared 20 mins ago.

That would have achieved nothing.

i wonder if you could do something about that mr Global

 

[Cabinet96]

Not sure Bird getting the Johnson song about being wayward makes complete sense but it would probably be overly pedantic to complain about it.

 

[Dan]

Shouldn't apply to contested catches at all, yeah.

 

[GotSpin]

The soft signal was ridiculous

 

[Spark]

He's just come back from a ban, so this is me doing something about it now.

 

[91Jmay]

Giving Jackson Bird the Johnson song is stupid, he seems like a good guy.

 

[Spark]

Shouldn't apply to contested catches at all, yeah.

I think it was brought in for good reasons - low slips catches which everyone who's played the game knows are out but look not out on replay - but it shouldn't apply there. There should be an option for "no soft signal".

 

[GotSpin]

geoffrey boycott being a bit mean here

 

[NUFAN]

Just coming in to say awesome batsmanship Cookie. Fkn Chappelli the other day saying that Cook shouldnt put in the extra yards in the nets and do something else instead. Tasting it Ian.

Btw, has anyone mentioned Smiths hand injury as a potential reason for the dropped catches? Curious to know if it played a part. That square leg seemed like he was protecting his left hand somewhat.. I dunno just asking and sorry if its been said already.

 

[Zinzan]

I was talking in isolation.

 

[Burgey]

the Johnson song is stupid.

Yeah
