Weathers gone cheaply.

I missed this. Cricinfo saying the ball pitched outside leg so why didnt Cummins review it?? These umps have lost the plot.

 

[Hounddog]

Weathers himself ahould have known if it pitched outside leg.

He has a few technique and judgement things to work on.

The dismal and the lack of a review is mostly down to a judgement by the batsman.

 

[Hounddog]

The pitch itself still looks pretty flat to me.

Archer and Stokes will be tired from the batting efforts.

More bowlers are making runs these days, but tney don't always back up well when bowling.

Glen McGrath rarely had that problem

Starc was excellent in the first 2 tests and made some very handy runs.

That Weatherald dismissal was a shocker by the umpire but even worse by Weatherald not to review it.

 

[Richie]

Poms are gonna regret not going in with a specialist spinner as the ball is now going thru the surface.

That's a terrible review

We'll take that.

I like Trav but wonder how he made it to red ball cricket with barely no footwork and a dodgy defense. See how he exposes his stumps almost every ball. Surprised he is not bowled more.

He does a pretty good record for South Australia tbf.

Weathers gone cheaply. I reckon he is worth persevering with until a next gen opener is ready.

He was NO according to replay.
Ump gave it out, and Weathers and Head didn’t question it!

Years ago before Trav played Tests he played some patient big innings holding South Aus innings together against Tas.

South A were Shield easybeats for a few years.

And his partner.

It was Head who when asked by Jake W thought it was out.

 

[Decentric]

Labu gone!

Tongue bowling with some heat!

Why didn’t Poms select specialist spinner?

 

[Richie]

Why is Labuchagne struggling on the best batting deck of the series.

Now I’ll start looking for this when Trav bats.

Asked the same.

 

[Decentric]

I still would have given McSweeney who made 226 runs for Aus A, only aged 24, a game instead of 39 yo Usman.

 

[Decentric]

Asked the same.

I know.

Crazy Poms!

 

[Richie]

It was Head who when asked by Jake W thought it was out.

Then hes to blame for the skipper not reviewing.

 

[Sharkman84]

I know.

Crazy Poms!

Michael Vaughan said the same thing last night.

Crazy that Shoaib Bashir is supposed to be England's best spinner yet can get into the team.
