Wow didnt expect that. Another Bairstow stuff up. Steve Smith shouldve kept walking haha

Question: if the keeper has dislodged the bail before the ball did it, doesn't the stump have to be pulled out of the ground in order to effect the run out?

Fairly certain that is the case.

JB producing a 2005 Warnesque titanic effort to win Australia the series.

edit: I can't put him in the same sentence as Warne, no matter the context. It just feels.....wrong.

I think they're just making the rules up at this point.

 

[icewind]

yeeeehhhhhhhh cmon!

 

[undertaker]

Not so much whittling away at the deficit, as it is about the remaining Australian batsmen facing as many overs as possible at this stage of the innings to wear down the English fast bowlers.

Already, England have had to bowl 30 more overs than Australia did in the first innings.

Smiffy gone ffs!! Paddy's been batting well silly shot really.

 

[undertaker]

Soft dismissal from Smith.

Nevertheless, important contribution of 71

 

[jargan83]

That was absolutely brainless from Smith

Bowling 100 overs isn't that big a deal for these guys. We needed to bat well in to tomorrow. Our batting has been poor this whole series.

I thought after watching Murphy bat in India he was a dead set number 11 bunny.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of 6's

You're a 6 hitter Harry!!!!

 

[jargan83]

Scores level

 

[Slackboy72]

Take a note of this kids. If you only have two shots, just play those and defend out the rest. You don't get extra runs for being stylish.

 

[jargan83]

And we're in front
