Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)

I'm not sure who's looking the worse out of this - the English bowlers failing to get out the tail; or the rest of the Australian batsmen who've been shown up something chronic.

Very true, not going to plan for either side really

Finn needs a kick up the arse

Aussie commentators agreeing the stumping was probably out

We've been freeze framing it on the big screen here, frame by frame, it looked out.

More so Cook for bowling him. He kept punching it in short and he kept getting punished. Cook is the bigger mug for keeping him on!

I've never been a fan of Marais Erasmus and now I am even less so. We should have had a lead of 90+ at the change of innings and now we are going to be behind

Probably as a batsman not a bowler

Yep, bloody useless saffer 3rd umpire. Its a shame when a bad decision can literally turn a game.

Re: The Cricket Thread (...and other sport)

Yep, England had the foot on the throat, Cook kept Finn on despite him bowling stupidly short, Agar made the most and fair play to him.

Jeez, at 19 on debut in such an important series I don't begrudge him anything.

Can't complain about the state of play at lunch.
