I can't say I have too many problems with Watson referring his LB. We were 4/36 for f**k sakes. It was worth a lash to see if he couldn't have just go outside the line. It was a lottery, but we needed some luck at that point.

3 poms - nicolaus, vaughn and greig all giving their anaylsis of this test, not an aussie commentator in sight

The aussie haters must be welcoming this

I wouldn't be surprised if Hilditch did search the internet for ideas.

Poms will crack 550 and declare.

Australia scores 400 in the second dig leaving the Poms about 180 to get on day 5.

As this match wears on, batting will get easier and bowling tougher.

For a moment I thought moffo wrote this and got excited we've have them bowled out by tea time unfortunately madunit will be closer to the mark.

Btw, just on that quote on your sig TT...

I dont know whether you know or not but Mark Waugh was on Inside Cricket this week and categorically denied saying any of that. Im assuming it was another one of those fake Twitter accounts!

It was not that plumb, almost struck him outside the line. Had two referrals left, why not try and get one to go your way. He was only 10% of the ball from being overturned!

it didn't even pitch ffs, full toss and he couldn't hit it

at least Hughes pitched and did something

First and foremost. Harris needs to tighten up his line and length. Very sloppy at the start of the poms innings.

Siddle too sprayed a few around yesterday. That sh*t has to be tightened up. There's f**k all variation between Johnson, Siddle and Harris. they all need to be tight if we are to get wickets, otherwise, they'll all get spanked.

I don't want to see smith bowling before lunch either. If he does, it will be because we're leaking runs or have taken no wickets (or both).

And those sh*thouse wide bouncers need to be stopped. this WACA pitch will help the ball bounce and carry well. Pitch just short of a good length at a good pace and the ball will rise sharply and be difficult to play.

No short balls should be over the batsmen's nose in height when in his usual stance.

Need to maintain a consistent line on or just outside off stump.

And Punter, please mate, please, set a field and make the bowlers bowl to the field.

Not the other f**king way around, you'll just end up chasing the red all day.

Seems no one is keen to come into the Australian top order. On top of WA's capitulation SA are collapsing to be 5/84 including losing 3/0.
