***Official*** 5th Test at the SCG

[Son Of Coco]

We've largely wasted any help the conditions have given us this morning by being a bit too loose at times. Hazlewood was good. Cummins not bad. Starc a bit loose. Probably to be expected though.

 

[quincywagstaff]

That was such a definitively Vince innings and dismissal he should have it trademarked.

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Last chance saloon for me. Looks ok for his 20-30ish but that’s it.

Never quoted myself before, but well I never.

 

[Daemon]

Such an Ian Bell lite

 

[Cow]

Vince hasn't got enough to be a test cricketer.

 

[Cabinet96]

So funny that Cook averages 60 for the series.

 

[Cabinet96]

Damn, thought on field decision would save him.

 

[Spark]

Geez this is touch and go

 

[Gnske]

Boring

 

[Spark]

Damn, thought on field decision would save him.

Nah that was always going to be either out or not out, because only doubt was where it was pitching which doesn't have ump's call

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Doesn’t look out to me. What do I know.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Cook having 1 score for the series over 40, and having that score be 244* is going to look pretty funny.

Looked plumb with the only question being whether it pitched outside leg.

 

[Spark]

Looked plumb with the only question being whether it pitched outside leg.

To be fair, that's a big question

 

[quincywagstaff]

Chappell was spot on that Cook’s mistake was playing square when at the MCG he was playing straight to those types of deliveries.

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Looked plumb with the only question being whether it pitched outside leg.

If it’s that close to pitching outside leg it can never look plumb, surely? Or have I got the meaning of ‘plumb’ wrong? Still out though and a great review.

I'd say it can 'look' plumb, as in taking out all 3 stumps, but then be not out due to where it pitched.

It was a close call in the end, and when I saw where it pitched, I expected 'umpire's call'.

It is.

Ok, we can have our own interpretations. You don’t get umpires call on where the ball pitches though.

 

[Burgey]

Haze doing a good job running straight down the deck there from around the wicket
