3RD ASHES TEST: England v Australia at Manchester Aug 1-5, 2013

[LeedsRhinos]

Australia just lost out on a wicket by not reviewing!!

You fail at DRS

 

[BDR]

and we had him out.... FMD are we ever going to get a review right??

 

[hineyrulz]

Why the f**k didn't they review that????

 

[Timbo]

We are so bad at DRS.

Australia just lost out on a wicket by not reviewing!!

You fail at DRS

You fail at life and basic hygiene.

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Michael Clarke didn't want Watson to get a wicket, in fighting!

 

[BunniesMan]

He took a big step but it was well below his knee. And worst of all Clarke now knows it was wrong and all that frustration won't help.

 

[Horrie Is God]

The ultimate in irony..

Watto doesn't review & it's out..

 

[BDR]

Can also chalk up another incorrect decision from Erasmus this test. f**king terrible.

It was Hill.

 

[TimmyB]

There is no way an umpire ever gives that out.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

The ultimate in irony..

Watto doesn't review & it's out..

:lol:

If you were captain though would you back Watson's judgement?

 

[Tommy Smith]

Can't blame an umpire for giving that not out given the big stride down the wicket.

But the Aussies should know that, relatively speaking, DRS doesn't give a f**k if the batsman takes a stride down the wicket.

 

[BDR]

It was Hill.

Good spot. Both as bad as each other though tbh.

 

[TimmyB]

Harsh Tommy. The reason it was difficult to adjudicate was because of the big stride.

Everyone says the DRS is to stop clangers. No way in hell that was a clanger, right at the top of leg stump. Reviewing would've been speculating. Note how both Clarke and Haddin were close to not even bothering to go down the pitch to discuss the review.

 

[TimmyB]

Good spot. Both as bad as each other though tbh.

Oh get real, that has been not out for 100 years of test cricket.

 

[Horrie Is God]

He's being aggressive KP, but he has had a bit of luck..

A couple of those skied shots could've gone to hand..

 

[hineyrulz]

Yep a lot of Umpys will just see how far he has come down the wicket and dismiss it out of hand, but i think we just had to risk it with the way the game is going.

And i am really getting sick of watching the Sherminator bat.

The valve just serving them up for Bell here

When on song and in form

Ian bell is the best batsman to watch in world cricket

Doesnt get the plaudits because hes in a strong team unit, but watching his craft is one of the reasons we watch test cricket. The technician, the snooker player
