WORST DECISION EVER!!

Good to see Pup in the runs, hard to believe Smith wasn't even in the initial squad.
Will be good to see how Warner goes coming in at number 6, with runs already on the board he will hopefully be able to push us into a more commanding position.

This is a bit of a rant but for god sake, people that sit behind the bowlers arm, please stop disrupting the game. Sit still and don't stand up during the middle of an over. Obviously cost Rogers his wicket as he was disrupted.

This is the do or die moment for the aussies!

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Warner has opened the batting in the second innings instead of Watson.
Now 1/23 with Rogers just out caught behind, Khawaja in at 3.

 

[Goodie's Guns]

Not the first time Root has been on the receiving end of a Warner hook. LOL

2/86 with a lead of 245 for AUS.

This is getting interesting! Hope the rain stays away

Gone off now for gloomy light. Clarke ****ed off. Dickie Bird not impressed either.

It pretty ordinary that they have to go off for bad light, really is it that bad??
This makes it even more interesting now, with a bit of time lost I wonder when Pup is going to declare, I reckon they'll want at least 15 overs at ENG tonight.

PS for those that are watching, how slow is England's over rate. A disgrace!!

 

[Bomber18]

This is ridiculous.

Bad light? What a joke, it should be up to the batsman. The rule needs to be looked at. They let the umpires decide the light, but let batsman decide DRS.
This series has had so much bs, I can't remember any other series like it.

England are such a boring team. Score incredibly slowly and continually waste time when bowling.

The umpires ability to ruin the game with bad decisions has been unbelievable. To say that was dangerous conditions was ridiculous bs.

 

[Bomber18]

Looks like rain's going to have the final say...

really disappointing

 

[IDIG]

Fudge that was close!

 

[PC]

Fudge that was close!

Yep. Not an easy day for batting!

 

[PC]

Tsk tsk Trott - bad shot there. Shouldn't wave your bat outside your leg stump without getting across to it, basic rule of batting!

 

[IDIG]

We couldn't, could we????

 

[PC]

We couldn't, could we????

Looks rainy, but is a big possibility

 

[Goodie's Guns]

We couldn't, could we????

3-30 odd and the three big guns already gone. We desperately need Bell gone early, in top form and if he gets away from us then we're stuffed. Would have been nice if Pup held onto that sitter from Root.

 

[Bomber18]

Damn the rain.

No where to be seen during the first two tests, gets us this test when we have our best chance.

 

[IDIG]

So we're up against the poms, drs and Mother Nature lol

Heard some interesting stats on Watson yesterday. I wasn't aware of how poor his record in tests actually is. Maybe averaging 35 from 80 innings off the top of my head. Only 2 tons in there as well??

Boy this could be embarrassing if im completely wrong and they were talking about someone else!

Yep, Watson doesn't turn starts into 100s, a big mark against him imo.

If he doesn't bowl, he probably shouldn't play in Tests - of course, there are limited batting options at the moment...

Yep that would be right IDIG, Watto has a number of score between 80-99 but only the two get tons which isn't great at all.
