2nd Ashes Test: Australia v England at Adelaide, Dec 2-6 2017

[no name]

No wonder Smith keeps reviewing, these merkins have got so many wrong.

FFS Tubby. You don't take a review because you think you're "due one".

Except they probably do.

They review when it's a good bat.
They review when they're desperate.
They review when the timing suits.

Basically the review process is almost anything but getting clearly wrong calls right.

 

[Eelementary]

Smiffy, time for you to have a bowl, son!

That's why letting them keep their review for umpires call was a dumb move.

Also I've always felt LBW should be excluded for the bowling side and only available to the batsman in the context of them hitting it.

It's supposed to be there for the howlers, not the "maybe or maybe not" tactical coin flips.

 

[Eelectrica]

These two doing it easily now and the balls doing nothing.

 

[TheParraboy]

This will become one of the greatest centuries by a captain for Joe Root

currently 37no

poms 3/117

 

[King hit]

Australia still the favourites at the TAB

 

[Pete Cash]

Our pace attack is seriously overrated in the press. What have they even done really

If they keep it on leg stump he will.

 

[TheParraboy]

I hate this system. How does the captain know. It comes down to how much a bowler sells it

That last review it looked like he asked Paine (who wasn't in the camera shot but was to Smiths left), before then reviewing. probably Paine should bare some of the blame here

Cummins destroyed South Africa in his test debut about 5 years ago

Starc took two hatricks in a Shield game recently...

bring back Wade

he would have dropped it and we'd still have a review left

 

[Hutty1986]

Absolute desperation from Smith in those reviews. This would be one of Australia's worst ever chokes if they bottle this. Surely they can chip away around Root

 

[TheParraboy]

Australia still the favourites at the TAB

for the test series?

 

[TheParraboy]

bring back Wade

he would have dropped it and we'd still have a review left

Well do we remember when we brought Wade in last time? we won like 5-6 tests in a row

Bring back Wade before its too late...

 

[hineyrulz]

This could be the biggest choke of all time.

 

[Eelectrica]

That was Wade like from Paine. Through the legs.

 

[King hit]

for the test series?

For the test

 

[TheParraboy]

dropped by Smith

Wade would have thrown himself at that one ...
