Well, that's a turn-up. Saved by the replay on the screens? I wonder who actually referred it.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Can't trust an Aussie

 

[Jezbollah]

Well, that's a turn-up. Saved by the replay on the screens? I wonder who actually referred it.

I think the umpires referred it just to be sure.

I personally thought it was a catch live (and it WAS a great effort).

 

[Steverulez]

Clearly didn't carry. I don't think Broad knew where it was otherwise he should stepped into it and blocked the fielder off

 

[War Peaceman]

Well, that's a turn-up. Saved by the replay on the screens? I wonder who actually referred it.

It wasn't a review so it had to be the umpires. Feel a bit bad for Voges/Johnson, it was a good ball and a great effort.

yeah umpires can review catches without being asked from a player.

 

[legend166]

Clearly didn't carry. I don't think Broad knew where it was otherwise he should stepped into it and blocked the fielder off

If only he did then he'd actually be out.

 

[mclem]

Credit to Johnson for acknowledging that

 

[War Peaceman]

Broad is capable of some really beautiful and powerful shots, shame everything in between is dogshit.

Also, Ali was 100% out there.

Johnson's a good guy. Really like him.

 

[chicko1983]

bloody hell catch that one hadds.

need to wrap it up now Aussies.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Broad is so fucking bad

 

[chicko1983]

Broad is so fucking bad

wood looked good against the kiwis, surprising he was not ahead of Broad.

 

[Jezbollah]

I was actually surprised that Broad was categorised as an "all rounder" in Sky's graphics when they rollcall'd the squad yesterday.

If they cant keep Ali on strike, I suspect England will be done by lunch.

 

[Porcile]

Johnson is a cool dude. He was really friendly with the crowd in Kent. The whole team seems pretty nice actually, they got a good reception.

 

[Browny]

is this some sort of bad jinx???

Nope - just being my usual pessimistic English self

Just got back... There's still time for 2 wickets before midday.

(Now that's a jinx!)

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

wood looked good against the kiwis, surprising he was not ahead of Broad.

There's a case to be made that Anderson should be ahead of Broad right now. I think the England management are worried about a demotion affecting his confidence but he looks so useless that should be the least of their worries.

 

[chicko1983]

man, that would have been run out.

Aussie fielding and bowling both below par this game so far.

and what the hell is this Commander chick on? She reminds me a bit of Kirsten Wiig.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yeah we've been bowling bad, but just no luck really. Induced tons of edges and mishits but can't create the chances.

 

[legend166]

I feel like this is a Test where we'll come out to bat and every half chance will go England's way.

 

[chicko1983]

good catch Watto. cmon Aussies!

 

[Antiwhippy]

Would honestly be interested to see how we bat. The ball is clearly moving enough to induce edges.

 

[mclem]

Just popping out for an hour - I expect Australia will be batting by the time I get back...

Well, if you got back on time, then you're just about in luck.

Edit: Ah, just noticed that you are back! Excellent.

 

[Jables Swan]

Just turned it on during the half time break in the footy. Perfect timing for the wicket.

 

[chicko1983]

cmon Aussies

I think this is out

 

[bobnowhere]

Not out. The RTS is tiny, probably just noise.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Too inconclusive.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Not out

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

This is a pretty good total, the balls been swinging constantly through the day but Australia didn't take advantage of it.

If England can consistently put the ball in the right spots then things could be tricky for Australia.

 

[Jables Swan]

Can't call that out.

 

[chicko1983]

yeah not conclusive evidence.

But I reckon it flicked the thumb.

 

[mclem]

I like being able to hear the third umpire's investigation, but TMS seem a little too eager to talk over it.

 

[Antiwhippy]

yeah not conclusive evidence.

But I reckon it flicked the thumb.

If it did it was the one off the handle I reckon.

 

[Browny]

Well, if you got back on time, then you're just about in luck.

Edit: Ah, just noticed that you are back! Excellent.

To be honest, I was expecting us to add about 5 runs to the total. Moeen's doing ok for a number 8 :jnc

 

[Jables Swan]

yeah not conclusive evidence.

But I reckon it flicked the thumb.

Yeah there was definitely something there. Good insight into the process that. First time I had seen it.

 

[jambo]

I still can't believe this is in HD for free in Australia...


Also great to hear the 3rd umpire going through the review process. I agree with his call.

 

[Kuros]

It was probably a tiny tiny feather but you couldn't overturn it.

 

[bobnowhere]

Lol, Anderson reverse sweeping.

 

[chicko1983]

If it did it was the one off the handle I reckon.

I reckon if any part of his hand is touching the bat, any of the fingers counts. Would be interesting to look that up actually.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Lol, Anderson reverse sweeping.

Nah, that's been his go to shot to spinners for awhile now.

 

[Jables Swan]

I reckon if any part of his hand is touching the bat, any of the fingers counts. Would be interesting to look that up actually.

That's how I've always thought it was too.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I reckon if any part of his hand is touching the bat, any of the fingers counts. Would be interesting to look that up actually.

I'm talking about his hand which seemed fully off the handle.

 

[Juicy Bob]

430

I'm happy with that.

 

[jambo]

Well that's that.

 

[chicko1983]

I still can't believe this is in HD for free in Australia...


Also great to hear the 3rd umpire going through the review process. I agree with his call.

I think it is in HD because they paid extra so that Fox could not show it at all.

If they were not willing to pay as much as Fox, then they would be showing it in SD.

Its to do with anti-syphoning laws or sumthin?

Well done on a Five-for Starc.

Big mini-session here for the Aussies. Need a nice positive start.

 

[Omikron]

Australia overall bowled fairly poorly. Disappointing.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Not the best 5fer I've ever seen, but well done starc.

 

[Jables Swan]

Australia overall bowled fairly poorly. Disappointing.

I didn't get to watch any yesterday, but I can't believe they were able to get another 100 again today. Disappointing by the boys.

 

[bobnowhere]

I worry about Warner with the way the ball is moving in air. Wouldn't be surprised to see one swing between bat and pad and clip the top of offstump. Probably from Anderson.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I didn't get to watch any yesterday, but I can't believe they were able to get another 100 again today. Disappointing by the boys.

Moeen Ali is a proper batsman. Putting him at 8 is taking the piss a bit.

 

[Jables Swan]

Yeah so it seems.
