I am just watching a replay of todays action.
That Stuart Clark off-cutter to get rid of the Seth African was a great one.
Clark should be opening the bowling instead of Lee.

 

[Matteh]

Naah, you want a bit of genuine pace on first up.

 

[Legga]

Pace ain't much use if after two overs you loose swing.
Clark has only got one more test at first drop anyway, so he will get his rightful spot soon.

Exactly, so you put them on before the ball loses it's swing.

Lee has not been taking early wickets this series so his pace is not of much use either.
I would prefer the line and length of Clark.

 

[Mister Wright]

I think I saw McGrath with a bent arm in one of those pics...hmmm...

 

[Legga]

Let him play one more test and some one dayers then ban the cheat.

 

[Prince EWS]

You already have the line and length of McGrath though. I think the variation in the new ball attack of Lee and McGrath is perfect. Lee isn't in the best of form at the moment but the balance is still right and I think it should stay as such.

You could possibly make a case for Clark knocking McGrath off the opening bowler spot, but considering the next season is McGrath's last, also happens to be in front of his home crowd and just so happens to be a dead rubber anyway... I think it might be a bit harsh.

Suppose the one good thing about us being so crap is the there's no cricket to clash with Chuck Norris week on Bravo.

For sure, got Missing in Action 3 on tonight I believe, roll on Invasion USA. Also Zone Thriller have a plethora of soft core Shannon Tweed porn on which is always good for a laugh or something else.

It's time to get tough with these cheats...let's stick some white labels on him, clear him, and then get on with the game.

Just noticed this one, you can still see the bail in the air. Nice work.

 

[Matteh]

Hoggard got out because according to that picture he wasn't actually using a bat.

Doesn't make too much difference.

Most the English can't figure out how to use them anyway.

Simply Awful.. i said before and i will say it again they have to be changes from top to bottom in Organization so this does not happen again

And I'll ask again how this reorganization would've changed this series?

 

[marc71178]

Yeah, both were certainly out IMO. Hayden was also out twice not given (I think he was on 0 at the time too - went on to score 150+), and Symonds once not given (on 20 odd - went on to score 150+ as well.)

Really though, no matter how bad the umpiring was, you can't lose by an innings and 99 and blame the umpiring. Rudi is lucky the game was by no means close because both sides had very rough decisions go against them.

That said, had the 2 been given, there's no way Australia would've had a lead big enough to win by an innings.

Still what goes around comes around and I'm sure some day in future England will get the benefit of a couple of calls like that.

They got evened out from 2005, we had a few crucial desicions go our way that could have lost us the series had they gone otherwise.
