Huge bow in Alex Hales' bat - surprised

AUS won the 2nd ODI. England just can't chase 300+

Taylor is struggling.

Taylor is struggling.

He's still there though, should have gone when shelled on 9 but it's the approach we need of a player that can dig in and occupy the crease even when struggling instead of dancing down the pitch and getting out after using up a load of balls anyway.

Grinding out a 75+ from him to anchor the innings is what we lacked last game from any of the batsmen

Benji, what have you done!

[kdale6]

That confirmed what we all knew then, Steve Smith is a complete (No Swearing Please)

[Jacky]

Ben Stokes you idiot

[InternalTraining]

@kdale6 , what did Steve Smith do? I missed that.

[WalkingWicket37]

Benji, what have you done!

Stuck his arm up in self defence as a ball was hurled at him, it was an instinctive reaction rather than a deliberate attempt to protect his wicket.

Steve Smith has proved he is a total cugina there, spirit of cricket - what's that?

@kdale6 , what did Steve Smith do? I missed that.

Appealed for obscuring the field.
By the letter of the law out (as is in the book). In the spirit of cricket, Stokes put his arm up for self preservation, hardly justified to appeal!

Couldn't agree more. Clearly a reaction to save yourself. Regardless of wearing a lid or not someone throw the ball at your face you put your hands up to protect yourself. He sees the ball heading his way and it's a reaction to protect. He wouldnt have been able to pick up he exact line of the ball so threw his hands up as he turned around. 17 yards away how can you think I'm gonna stop this from hitting the stumps.  Think his eyes were closed too! Poor from Australia but even worse from the umpires. Just shows what they do, win at all costs!

^ that explains kdale's comment. What is a cugina? 

[Sampath]

LMAO smith another pointing in making. I call that BS
