The ashes 2023

[leicsmac]

On a roll now.

[HighPeakFox]

I'm taking credit for Khawaja 

[Lionator]

Wtf was the third umpire watching there? He middled it lol. 

[StanSP]

Confused at that review (the process, not the players going for it). Clearly hits the bat so much that the ball moves direction, but doesn't show any nick or spike. Weird.

Assuming snicko works for sharp, quick sounds as the ball is clipped by the bat, but a situation like that with a "slower" sound doesn't get picked up.

Aussies have been watching old videos of Dom Sibley looking at their scoring rates

[trabuch]

What a day! Well done England. Snooze ball doesn't work!

[purpleronnie]

Please dont let the tail wag.

[goody2028]

That root catch was sweet. 

[STEVIE B]

Would take a 50 run lead now. 

[Super_horns]

We probably didn't want the tea break - on a roll and looking very good so far.

 

I guess that probably means we are due some rain!

[trabuch]

Hahaha. That is a bonus. (edit - would have been a bonus.)

How is that not out? 

 

Stump is away from the bail? Bairstow's glove touches the stump but the bail is away from the stump before the bat is in?

Bairstow has effed it up. If the bail is up before the ball is in his gloves it's not out.

[StanSP]

Okay makes sense with Butcher's explanation. Bail has to be out of both grooves as Bairstow had touched the stump. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Awful decision.

[goody2028]

Ffs

[Tommy Fresh]

Bairstow man 😂

[leicsmac]

Good, a contentious decision to piss off the crowd. That will pay off in the future, hopefully. Not that anyone needs any more reason to dislike Smith.

[UniFox21]

Seems like they just make these decisions up man

[Guest Manini]

I really like Ponting on comms

I will always think of him being hit by a grape from now on

Now Aus getting the benefit of some luck.

 

England had quite a bit of it yesterday with all those drops, though.
