[Bill Manspeaker]

[BratPack]

Clearly there is only one person to blame for this

[Bill Manspeaker]

blame Lyno for being in front in the test?

For the collapse and for being useless

[Bill Manspeaker]

nup you love him, and that's understandable

Lucky Review there -
Reckon we need consistency if less than 50% of ball shown as hitting wickets umpires call - Yet in this decision only 50% of ball was outside the line and allowed to overturn. Go figure,

and Ussie sees out the day. beautiful batting and a great innings... so far! I want a double!

So the ball is round. So when the ball hits the ground, only one point of it hits the ground. That is the point that we are meant to consider when umpiring, and it's no doubt the point that technology would use. So whilst it may be interpreted as 50% or more needs to be in line, it's pretty much a "was the bit of the ball that made contact with the ground in line with the wickets?" In this case it was a no (I was there so haven't seen many Hawkeye closely), so not out.


Maddinson and Wade did exactly what the whole nation knew would happen, although Nic did get an alright ball.

I worry for Handscombs future too, he looked good, but his first movement is a little back step, and plays full balls from deep in the crease. Reminds me of Gary Ballance so I wish him all the best and i hope he executes what I believe is a very smart way of batting (it's my personal belief when it comes to batting too) but like Gary he might find himself in technical trouble, his dismissal showed that perfectly.

[Jukes]

Home - 17 innings, 940 runs, 67.14 average, 55 SR, 4 tons
Away - 18 innings, 515 runs, 30.29 average, 49 SR, 1 ton

Khawaja may not be born here but he sure has embraced the Aussie way of being a lion at home and a kitten away :P

Handscombe looked great out there, not so much Maddo and Renshaw but not everybody can gun it on debut. Hoepfully they can get a few more shots.

[Ringo]

As I said Jukes whilst Renshaw did not score many runs he was an old style opener whose main aim was to occupy the crease and not get out.  He fell in the 16th over so did his job to see the new ball off for others.

Australian cricket at absolute rock bottom and you're not even pinging us. In fact, your posts have actually been infinitely more constructive lately, sick work man :P

Yeah all of Jukes' posts have left me speechless tbh. I am literally without speech.

[Torpedo10]

Jukes = Impostor?

[JBs-Hawks]

Possible conversion?

Hopefully we can see some Starc fireworks in this first session
