In this series .. probably Yes. Seems a little out of form.

Yeah. A little.....

Or..... the first of Lyons predicted casualties.

Banter to one side. And cricket in complete perspective. Gutted for Strauss, his wife and family. Really sad. Hopefully its treatable and she can make a full recovery.

His wife was diagnosed with cancer so he left ashes to be with his family.

Stonemans wicket was odd-if it’s hit the glove while that hand is not on the bat it should be not out

Shouldn't the benefit of doubt go to the batsman(Stoneman)? What was Aleem Dar thinking?

Starc & co are peppering Eng with shorter balls. Stoneman has been at the receiving end for a while. Would be interesting to see how JB & Malan handle it.

Awful decision. If he was given out on the field maybe, but to say that was conclusive enough to overturn the original not out is silly.

Have to say so far aussie fans are an absolute ball to be around. Know their cricket and on the most part far from one eyed

Stoneman was unlucky, Vince groundhog day, Root unfortunate/careless

England need 450 minimum here, looks an absolute road

450 is a mountain to climb. Need one batsman to score a century and one or two should accompany with 50's. Looks a bit difficult at the moment.

Exactly...it was not out originally and they are guessing it hit the hand off the bat
Erasmus got that right to start with

Bit of a poor review there, too high, outside the line. Keep going Dawid lad!
