Ashes are done, now for the ODIs

[Noz]

Surely Carbs has been the most unluckiest batsman this ashes series. The only way he goes out is by freak accidents/catches

[Vinny]

Root was extremely unlucky there and I feel for him. Don't blame Clarkey though, how was he meant to know?!

He wasn't going to call him back out, here is there to help Australia win not suck on Root's ****

Haha sorry mate, I know what you are getting it. But wasn't going to happen. And I love Clarkey so don't bag him :P

[Bill Manspeaker]

if he learnt how to leave a ball properly he would have avoided that dismissal

[Adamant]

Makes up for Khawaja's dismissal in England.

Regarding Carbs - My coach in my junior days used to say if you are leaving the ball go. leave it go with confidence and make sure you keep your *bleep* bat out of the way. Elementary but Carbs has not got it yet.

Regarding Roots dismissal I am with the third umpire here there was not sufficient evidence for him to overtime the decision. We have seen in England and here that the technolgies being used are not fool proof either so when in doubt original decision must stand.  If he had been given not out by the umpire then that decision would have stood.
As we have seen these decisions even out.

So the opposing captain can tell the opposing batsmen to come back onto the field if he asks him to?

I remember an England vs india test where Bell thought he hit a boundary and that was the last ball before tea so he just started to walk back to the pavillion,  but the ball stopped or the fielder picked it up or something and threw it into the keeper who took the bails off and appealed and Bell was given out. after the tea break Dhoni asked if he could withdraw the appeal, and Bell came back out to bat. I think he was 100+ too.

I think that's how it went. my memory is shocking but it went something like that

LYNOOOOOOO

not the best ball and a very lazy shot but a wicket nonetheless
