Odds on Ali to get bounced out?

I think we just have to accept both Stokes and Bairstow got the best two balls we will see today.

Regardless or stats, previous scores. Neither batsmen could play that ball and I doubt many others could have!


I would like to have a laugh at Starc here but he did just pick up a wicket  :(

Really chance for Buttler and Ali now (I may copy and paste the sentence "Real chance for (delete as appropriate) here" Because I seem to keep typing it!

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Lyon has an unbelievable strike rate this match. That's 3 wickets in his 3 overs now. :o :o

Lyon is a very good bowler. I don't care what anyone says

Poor shot from Buttler. Strange we haven't seen his "attacking" ability.

DRS saying it would've missed.

Surprised he didn't review it as the last batsmen in.



Can we start the innings with their ball?  :-[

Probably the best off spinner going around at the moment.
Then again the quality of spin isn't great at the moment.


England have pretty much thrown wickets away, the Aussies haven't bowled great apart from Johnson earlier

God what a farce this England side can be at times, and I really, really want them to do well - however, on a difficult pitch against a decent attack, look at who's thrown it away -  Lyth, Bell, Root and now Joss not reviewing with only the tail to come!!!

I despair at times, a hard fought, gritty lead of 150 would have made things tricky for the Aussies - I suspect we'll struggle to get a 70 run lead now!!

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Who remembers when Lyon couldn't buy a wicket and was the joke of Australian cricket  :-[



Still can't understand Jos not reviewing it!

Don't forget Steven Finn and James Anderson both have test half centuries.... (Clutching at Straws)

Just before the Buttler wicket, Australia reviewed a bat-pad catch.

The 3rd umpire then looked for an LBW.

How can the Australians review two things? Surely this should cost them two reviews?

I thought the rule was you have to say what you are appealing for/reviewing?

Furthermore, when Buttler saw the previous DRS surely he should have thought that maybe the second one was also going over as they were pretty similar balls.

Oh dear Mr Chumneywarner there's no such thing as 'grinding out a lead' anymore, reviews take time up so we've scrapped those, both sides hammer each  other T20 style, Lunch and Tea are MCD's and Kentucky,the game is over by halfway just in time for the crowd to build a beer snake
Get on with the game!!! :)

I believe the question is 'Owzat?', not 'Owzatforcaughtatbatpad'/'Owzatforalegbeforewicket'.

But I was lead to believe that the fielding team must clarify what they are appealing for when it is reviewed.
