Mind games lol

Hmmm. I can't think of any reason he would do this other than to wipe out the batsmans guard.

Presuming that is what he has done its a bit more than mind games. It's borderline......

I'm not aware of any rule he may be sailing close to breaking but it's close to the line.

Smith must be thick, what I don't understand is there are cameras everywhere today, you can't get away with anything.

For someone who is on a second chance he's taking a risk with the rules being bent or manipulated

yeah dont think theres any ruling on it. but its not within the "spirit of the game" i guess.

does anyone know how many catches the aussies dropped in that last innings?

csnew · « **Reply #272 on:** January 11, 2021, 10:52:30 AM »

3 catches dropped on day 5, Paine dropped pant twice and then another in the last session.

I�m sure Aussies will have an excuse for what smith was doing - �smith doing what he does, shadow batting because he loved batting�

You could argue it�s pitch tampering as he�s done batting

wasted_talent · « **Reply #273 on:** January 11, 2021, 10:54:17 AM »

damn 3 on day 5
and any idea how many in total through the entire gae?

csnew · « **Reply #274 on:** January 11, 2021, 10:55:24 AM »

Warne mentioned aus dropping 4 in the match and india 5

It has been a series of costly drops

If it isn't breaking law 41.12 then I don't know what is.

Law 41.12.1: It is unfair to cause deliberate or avoidable damage to the pitch. A fielder will be deemed to be causing avoidable damage if either umpire considers that his/her presence on the pitch is without reasonable cause.

batting marks, is it really causing damage to pitch? as its not on the "playing area" as such?

Law 6.1 Area of pitch

The pitch is a rectangular area of the ground 22 yards/20.12 m in length and 10 ft/3.05 m in width. It is bounded at either end by the bowling creases and on either side by imaginary lines, one each side of the imaginary line joining the centres of the two middle stumps, each parallel to it and 5 ft/1.52 m from it. If the pitch is next to an artificial pitch which is closer than 5 ft/1.52 m from the middle stumps, the pitch on that side will extend only to the junction of the two surfaces.

Seemed to me that Smith was kicking dust into the areas where the ball would be expected to land but, in any event, the cease is part of the pitch and there is no good reason for him to be there

I thought maybe he could be getting rid of some jelly beans lol

this whole tour has been really spikey, can understand tensions are building because of all the quarantines and bubbles they have to be in but they werent exactly on friendly terms before.

Some of the aussie players behaviour was awful, Paine has done himself no favours, but i am sure both sides are guilty of it. Kohli isnt exactly a shrinking violet on the pitch so maybe not in the best place to criticize. Dont disagree with Paine on Ashwin though, he's a bell of the highest order.

If there was racist abuse by the fans thats appauling, and should be dealt with. The Gabba wont be much friendlier though i wouldnt imagine after the way this test has ended.

Ive just heard the stump mike conversation between paine and ashwin. Followed by smith telling ashwin to get ready for a broken rib.

That is the current and previous national captain. What a total embarrassment. They revert to type every time.

billyb · « **Reply #283 on:** January 11, 2021, 02:16:14 PM »

I really don't see what the Aussies are getting so upset about. There's another game left in the series at one of their best grounds? These two teams really don't like each other, do they!

ppccopener · « **Reply #284 on:** January 11, 2021, 02:36:40 PM »

I think the Australians were expecting a series win already , India have played pretty well so far, if you take out the freak 36 ao game, probably have played the better cricket.

The broken rib stuff, and broken arm(Clarke to Anderson) is pretty distasteful. sledging goes on and no team are angels, it's just a bit over the line.

One of their own had a serious injury he did not recover from.

RIP Phil Hughes.
