5th Ashes Test: England v Australia at The Oval on Aug 20-24, 2015

Clarke is a selfish f**k, no mistake

Warner is fully geniused too

Rogers will be a big loss for you lot

 

[JJ]

Oh look, a trolls hating Clarke party. He missed that clearer than Locky missed a brain at birth

Really? Then why did he discuss with Smith if he knew he didn't hit it

 

[Bazal]

Lol. Clarke is selfish. *Insert Kiwi Batsman* was hard done by, faintest of noises, no hotspot, fair challenge

He didn't hit it, IMO. He felt like he didn't hit it. Non striker and VC felt like he didn't hit it. But yeah, he only challenged it cos he's selfish :roll: anyone but Clarke and it's a fair challenge

If he was sure there was no discussion needed, I think he was hoping to get lucky...

Anyway that's moot, he's out therefore hit it, you're wrong and he's out


And seriously, Watto does that and he's slated

 

[Bazal]

Watto would challenge a busted stump. Slightly different baseline for the argument there. That said i have no issue with anyone challenging that

I said in a WC game or maybe earlier , and not even involving Australia that I hate that about DRS. No deviation, no hotspot, tiny snicko a frame or two late...out. I stand by it. It's garbage. Snicko can pick up any noise, be it a helmet creak or a scuff or the dude's wrist cracking. Using it in and of itself is a waste of time IMO.

Thought he hit it Baz, maybe he wasn't sure don't know but when you have to ask your partner you can't be sure so a poor review IMO. I suppose we get them back after 80 overs.

 

[hineyrulz]

Nice 50 Smiffy.

Tbh I thought he missed it, still do and I think his reaction indicated that he felt the same. He asked Smith because you know as well as I do that a small edge can be hard to feel as a batsman. Smith thought he missed it too, or at worst thought it was worth a challenge.

Either way he's out, rightly or wrongly, but the challenge was perfectly acceptable

 

[hineyrulz]

Shot!!!

 

[Pete Cash]

That was some pretty sweet timing.

[TheParraboy]

wtf is this rope !!!

 

[TheParraboy]

lol poms and that review

 

[TheParraboy]

stumpd day 1

Aust 3/287

 

[Twizzle]

wtf Siddle ?? ](*,)

geez Warnie needs to stfu, all he does is use his position as a cricket commentator to whinge about anything he doesn't agree with

piss him off, sick of his whinging

 

[Mr Spock!]

Poms not interested.

Australia to get 600+

 

[Timbo]

The worst thing here would be for us to shit it in I think.

Then not only do the Poms win the Ashes, but they do it without a single compelling test match.

 

[Pete Cash]

I thought England bowled good besides Finn who was a bit up and down. We had a few lucky breaks but batted with application.

Because Watto would review if it broke his toe in front of middle and off.

For sure, and that's a batters prerogative, and Watson doesn't seem to get he's the one with the flaw not the umpires

Too little too late for Australia though, really weird series
