Marsh going the tonk

50 from 26

 

[Twatface Magee]

Should have just played for the single and got to 40, raise his bat to the crowd, then the nerves would have disappeared..

Then he'd just have to get through the nervous 40s

Marsh going the tonk

50 from 26

How good would that catch have been

 

[Hutty1986]

World class finishing from Marshy here

 

[Twatface Magee]

Wade back to true Wade form with a hard earned 1 from 2.

 

[TheParraboy]

How good would that catch have been

Looked like he batted it back to try save a boundary, his reaction afterwards suggests he should have gone for the catch


poms need 310 to win

 

[Hutty1986]

Sensational knock

 

[Timbo]

That was 100% out. Get over it you pommie wankers.

 

[undertaker]

Out obstructing the field

Correct decision. Shut up ya wannabe Pom, Morgan. Stokes was well out of his crease, knew he couldnt get back in the crease and used his hand to stop the run out

Inzamam Ul Haq did the same thing nearly ten years ago, but used his bat instead of his hand

 

[undertaker]

It wasn't a reflex action of him trying to ground himself, he deliberately dangled the hand infront of the stumps with the intention of trying to stop the ball hitting the stumps. 3rd umpire got that 100% correct.

OT, Maxwell is turning into a handy ODI all rounder. His bowling has improved a hell of a lot and can be a future Andrew Symonds

 

[Timbo]

I love it how they keep saying 'he was trying to defend himself'.

It was going to miss him by a f**king metre, what was he trying to defend?

 

[Timbo]

Cummins shitting the bed badly here.

 

[TheParraboy]

2-0 up baby

 

[Gina Minehart]

Cummins got 4 wickets cut him some slack haters

 

[hineyrulz]

Just saw the footage, he stuck his arm out while he was at least a metre out of his ground. Correct decision, after we appealed the umps had no other choice. Good to see our new captain did.

 

[JJ]

I'm kind of 50:50 on that one - in slow motion definitely looked out, but initially I imagine he was trying to protect himself - he moved his body away which exacerbated it...

No drama with the call, no drama if they said not out - don't think slow motion helps in cases like that - no injustice done

 

[TheParraboy]

agree with JJ, 50/50 call for mine as well

Was an instinct reaction from Stokes from a ball thrown at him (the stumps) by a fast bowler from 10-12 metres away. Wether it was instinct to cover the stumps or cover himself or a bit of both only one person can tell, not sure he will disclose the honest reason to the general puplic.

 

[Eelectrica]

Looking at the replay the umpire had no choice but to give him out.

Wouldn't have minded Smith taking the high road and calling him back though. Perhaps if he had a few more wins under his belt as captain he would have.

 

[Bazal]

On Stokes, I don't think he "deliberately" blocked the ball in that I don't think he made a conscious decision to do so, I think it was instinctive and he probably was trying to protect himself first and foremost. But you can't do that as a batsman. You can't block the ball with your hand. Unfortunately for Stokes thats really all there is to it. Shit of a way to get out though.

exactly

unfortunate and probabaly trying to protect himself instinctively but technically out, you just cant do that

and why the f**k is Watson batting above Marsh ??

I guess now that Warner is gone we'll see Watson open which is a huge step backwards, we should be blooding some young bloke instead of Watson or recalling Darsh
