I think the DRS umpire should be in a room away from the influences caused by watching the game and only see the DRS referral on a screen when required

Maybe he should not be told the umpires original decision either.


He can then decide if it's out, not out. And If he says he's unsure, on field umps decision stays!

What kind of score are people thinking England would be able to chase down and win this? (If it is even possible!)

[petehosk]

Think they are looking at it from a few angles......

Anderson loves getting Watson LBW so bat him down where Anderson may not be bowling
Warner is T20 player so bat him up where he can do damage
Bat as many of the lefties as possible before Swan is let loose on them!

I actually think that shows how logically Clarke thinks - not a bad option to be honest, and good thinking!

Where do you guys think Watson will fit in, 5?

Watching the Fox sports team of Brendan Julian, Stuart Clarke and Graham Hick. BJ was talking about KPs inside edge LBW decision. "I can live with that" he says. You should have heard them the other day with Khawaja's DRS call, Whining all day. Aussie muppets.

KP should have been given out when he was about 40.

He cashed in massively on the umpiring error. Hardly in a position to complain.

Khawaja was ripped off totally on 1.

One decision could end some poor buggers career, the other bloke got a questionable decision after making a century when he should have been out on circa 40 and will not impact his career.

Root catching Warner - I just laughed so hard I think I weed myself! 

[Buzz]

so the Aussies lead by 250, I think the should try to get 310 and declare.

any other thoughts?

[Number4]

I was thinking around 320

[Twelfth Man]

It would certainly make for a good final day tomorrow, with both sides in a position to win it depending on how England bat this evening when put in.

[joeylough]

Good day today, volunteered at lancs, managed to get a group pic with Bell and Big Bres.

watched a grey-nics podshaver in action. All in all good two days.

Do you think it will rain today ?

[Buzz]

yes.

Clark should have had eng batting yesterday again.

the highest successful chase at old Trafford is 297 and this England team would never have tried to chase more than 200 because they only need a draw.

[the little ripper]

Do you think it will rain today ?

There will be NO play today.

[lukemannionzimbabwe]

Thats a shame. Well thats the ashes over predictions for next years ashes ?
