As I said - complete lunacy if you think that is par - but you are a poster with form.

If you send a side in you don’t want them nearer to 300 than 200
Even back in the good old days we struggled. Langer and Hayden were solid but not great overseas Ponting couldn’t hit it off the square in India.The Test world is littered by players who perform better at home than away, but for some reason it's only an issue with Warner
The problem is now Smith and then Warner for so so long have been the only decent bats and all are eggs where in those two baskets. So if Warner fails the pressure is always amplified where as back in the day someone would always make runs so you could get away with it

So 249 is actually par?
Let's be honest if Warner wasn't a complete tosser and from NSW few people would have that much of a problem with his batting performances.

Langer averaged 55 in England - it was Hayden who had a very similar H/A split to Davey

Teams that have made 258 or more and been sent in have lost 11 times.
The par score for a team being sent in is about 285 in England.
Langer did well in England struggled most other places. Hayden did well in India not so well in England. They point is even the greats had their struggles overseas

Silly question time
Rory Burns caught by Bancroft...Aleem Dar raises left hand and signals out...Burns stands his ground...umpires come together and confer, finally calling for a third umpire decision. Decision is given as out and Burns departs.
Question: Who called for the replay? Is Burns not walking off classed as a challenge? He would have been timed out if the clock had been running.
Did I miss anything here?

Reminds me of KP clean bowling Harbhajan pre-DRS. Bhajji just stood his ground and they actually ended up checking the no-ball. KP asked him "What about clean bowled do you not understand?" and he replied "**** off". Hilarious stuff.
You have the most f***ed up takes on cricket I have ever seen.
The pitch was labelled lifeless, dry and a road yet with no cloud cover England were rolled for 258.
So if Australia had batted first and made 258 you would be saying they were 60 runs over par? No you wouldn't.
sandpaper man needs to make runs he brought this crap on us so he owes us a hundred or 2
I agree, I didn’t like that. He had been given walk off or use the DRS. Don’t just stand your ground
Was an umpire referral, and no it isn't classed as a challenge.
I think the thing is he was given out and stood his ground then the umpire sent it upstairs

Was a pretty clear cut catch in my opinion, seen much more questionable catches not needing the 3rd umpire
Bancroft doing his job perfectly. Blunting the ball so Smith doesn't need to come in against a bright red cherry. Should be good batting conditions tomorrow, think we'll see him graft something.
His catch was phenomenal, can keep his spot just for his work under the lid

Would have been filthy if it cost us given it was almost a free DRS, I’d have been fine with it if the umpires weren’t sure, but they were and it wasn’t really that questionable.
Yeah look there might be some grey area there, but ultimately the umpire asked for a second look.
No damage done, but probably a bending of the rules. Was almost a pre-DRS move.
Exactly now we have DRS once the umpire has given it the only way it should get checked if the player wants it checked and reviews it

I'd say a par 1st innings score would be around 360 on that wicket. Batting 2nd 420
That figure is misleading. His recent test average from the last 18 months is actually closer to 4.
I'm fairly confident he can be easily replaced.
AFL fixtured Friday nights well so far with games I couldn't care less about. Hawks v North 1st test, Dees v Swans this one. And if Essendon continue as is next week isn't exciting me either.
