Really hope Smith gets some runs today. He has been an all time great player for us and I don't want his career tarnished.

 

[k31th]

at least Head is keeping with his natural game

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Head and Smith to double tonne up

Could. You. Even. Imagine.

For appealing a decision that was umpires call? lmao. Aus fans too easily riled up.

Rubbish. Disrespectful to the umpire to not appeal.

 

[the_interloper]

that appeal was disproportionally enthusiastic

Even when they're this far ahead they still carry on like two bob watches

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It was one of those sensational bowling spells though that happen every once in a while. Both sides put on a bowling masterclass day 1.

It's a bit of both. If we go through the dismissals how many were good balls? Lets excuse McSweeney who is on debut, and ask how many were good balls and how many were out and out poor shots/footwork? Most were just poor footwork, not covering your off stump, with the others wafting at balls they didn't need to play at

They'll need to channel the VVS & Dravid partnership

 

[peternorth]

491 to go

It's not hard to look back at the umpire when appealing and it's disrespectful not to do so.

Broad and Philander used to do it aswell and I felt the same.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

491 to go

Only 49 10-run partnerships to go.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

The Siraj appeal was gold. hahahaha

It was Brett Lee like hahaha used to hate it when he did it

 

[Nuggetz]

It's not hard to look back at the umpire when appealing and it's disrespectful not to do so.

It's one appeal, calm down lmao. Hope he does it again for the melts on this thread.

You still need to appeal to the official umpire not run down the wicket like a headless chook. It's extremely disrespectful to the umpires

you have to appeal to the umpire..maybe read the rule book

No, for celebrating the wicket before appealing.

It's actually very disrespectful.

It is how the modern day players play though.

 

[yabsy]

It should be about overs for me, I want to see us face 120 overs. I don't care about the win or loss, but if I see another bat have a slog and a half when they could have dug in and used it for a net I'll be ropeable. It's bad enough Khawaja did that

That would be lunch tomorrow...Good target to aim for

Exactly what I'd be aiming at we aren't lasting two days but take this as a 8 hour net, face the overs get time in the middle heaven knows they need it

 

[Nuggetz]

I'm sure the umpires feelings will be okay from one non appeal lmao. I was feeling a bit sympathetic to aus fans but now I hope aus lose 5-0.

 

[1990crow]

It's depressing how far Labuschagne has fallen

 

[k31th]

that one looked fairly adjacent to me

No one cares what you think

It is how the modern day players play though.

They should always have a backup plan and the plan should be I'm protesting the stumps and if I edge it so be it but I'm going to protect the stumps.
