Lyon reckons that's an arm ball when it's obviously spinning (although I use the term loosely) away from the lefty....bald alien doesn't even know what rock he's sent down LMAO

I can't believe the ball was bouncing as high as the ball tracker suggested though.

Warnie keeps talking himself up as part of the ICC Rules Committee or whatever the f**k, is shocked by the rule that the tea break can be pushed back for four overs...

It was an arm ball. Part of the disguise is making sure it is still spinning. The ball is not at the right angle to actually turn though.

Oh I'm aware.

I'm saying that was either an off break or he got it wrong cos it didn't slide on at all, which is what he was saying it did.

DRS should just be called RS. Up until that ball I would have favoured dropping human umpires (ie geriatric hat racks) for technology. However, in no universe was that going over, even a BBL umpire would have seen that.

I actually thought the rule was for 9 wickets down with 3 or more minutes remaining before the break - play can be extended 4 overs or 15 minutes in Australia - In other countries it can be extended an extra 30 minutes.

Broad Given out LBW -Sounded like two noises and it was - edge onto the pad - Blocker Wilson is thirsty and wants a few coldies and is trying to finish the game early.

Head to bowl

We aren't winning this. England needed a bit of luck and they're getting it now.
Anderson is one of the worst batsman in the world. Broad isn’t far behind him these days. Can’t see those 2 going the whole last session even if Buttler survives.

Broad after copping the injury doesn't like the short pitched fast stuff and Anderson is batting number 11 for a reason.

Buttler will have to face most of the balls each over but will have to rely on Broad and Anderson at times to survive what balls they face obviously.

Takes 2 good deliveries - fielders need to be ready and switched on

Takes 2 good deliveries - fielders need to be ready and switched on- as Corporal Jones often said - Don't Panic Don't Panic- Can't Afford to do this if wickets don't fall and the overs remaining steadily decrease.
Thoughts of the last 2 tests vs India last summer should not be entering their minds. mmm but it may

Make him play every ball - bowling wide is no use as Buttler will just watch it go past- This last session they need to make them play every ball.

Hit wicket wow that was only way they looked like getting Buttler out.
