That’s a rubbish review. This third umpire is unbelievably bad as well.

That’s a rubbish review.

Think the DRS Ump was wrong anyway - looked like an inside edge all day long

To win this test we have to get Smith out twice..... If we don`t get him out today we are going to struggle.

Thanks Sherlock.

I’m surprised Woakes was brought back here, bowling at least 1 loose ball an over.

 

[The Wizard]

That’s going down leg.

Clipping leg, not sure about that

Same here. Look where it pitches. HawkEye claiming it would straighten. Curran arms the ball across. Any movement would take it down leg. Unless the technology thinks he's bowling off cutters for some insane reason.

NSC Cricket Trivia:

Who was the first umpire to officiate in every Test playing nation as what at the time ?

 

[BensGrandad]

Smith passed 50 so another century on its way.

 

[Rodney Thomas]

Do you not think it was straightening due to a touch of swing?

 

[Triggaaar]

Did you see Warner’s face? He knew he’d hit it.

I wasn't watching, but did it look like a c***?

 

[The Wizard]

You have to say the Aussies have been quite unfortunate today

 

[The Wizard]

Smith dropped AGAIN, unbelievable.

I thought he ran across on that one rather than down. It didn't seem to swing before pitching.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Now in and amongst all the plaudits, how lucky is this guy? Nothing drops to fielders, plays and misses. Did he sell his soul after his ban!!??

There have been far better balls got batsmen out this series than the ones Smith is going numerous chances away from.

 

[The Wizard]

Watching Curran you have to question why the hell Overton was selected in the last test?

 

[Seagull kimchi]

Why has Curran not featured since now? Might have saved us the Ashes!

 

[Eeyore]

Watching Curran you have to question why the hell Overton was selected in the last test?

I did think the same. The left arm option is so useful on the shores. He swings it more than Starc for example. If anyone could unsettle Smith, or trap in front, it's him.

His main problem is over pitching. Can get expensive.

 

[The Wizard]

Smith is pissing me off now, you aren’t in panto mate get a grip.
