2019 3rd Ashes Test 22-27 August Headingley

[scottywiper]

We all feared Wilson would decide a match. There you go.

 

[PhatBoy]

Just like 2005 ashes. An umpiring mistake cost us an ashes test

Lol. Kasprowicz smashed it mate.

 

[Warsaw]

One of the greatest innings I've had the misfortune of watching. Simply incredible.

Cannot fathom that mental collapse by Paine and the rest of the team.

 

[imperial_oz]

poor poor poor umpiring Joel Wilson

Allegedly he's an elite umpire

Elite dickhead might be a little more accurate because he just isn't anywhere near being an umpire

 

[SherbertLemon]

All of you people who support AFL clubs who are half way successful welcome to the land of mediocrity

 

[The King!]

i think australia just have to step back and say a terrific cricketer had a ****en awesome knock

melting wont win the series that is very much alive

 

[wolmeister]

Tim Paine will be remembered for one thing; this test. How's that for a legacy.

 

[to1994]

Hats off to Stokes, that was brilliant.

Paine has to go. He cannot play another Test for Australia, he is a poor captain and the after effects of the utter morons in the general public, all the way up to Sutherland who banned and exiled Smith and co have come to the surface.

Get rid of that ridiculous captaincy ban, reinstate Smith and move Paine on.

 

[omarlittle1]

Well, what can you say about that...

Amazing innings from Stokes, England had no right to win from that position. Incredible drama in that second last over, Test cricket at it's most gripping.

That was one of the all-time great Test matches, the fact we lost doesn't change that.

Yes it does. We lost via our own ineptitude. To the level of which looked like OG Pakistani match fixing. Lyon ****ing up that run out, Paine burning a review, Cummins never once attacking Leach's stumps. It was borderline special needs stuff.

 

[Mr X]

That was amazing to watch.

Fair play to Stokes - incredible batting and well deserved

 

[Kappa]

This match is how Tim Paine will be forever remembered.

The accidental Captain who completely choked, never should of ever been captain.

 

[The Speaker]

Great thread, melts are phenomenal.

Reality check: Smith was the captain who caused most of you to have conniptions in South Africa because he is not great at handling people.

 

[showusyacunningt]

Remember when Wilson's ineptitude was harmless and funny?

 

[Joffaboy]

Well played Joel Wilson.

Masterful display for England.

Destroyed a test and probably cost us the Ashes.

Really disgraceful not to give that.

Deplorable

 

[Bradesmaen]

because he's in double figures for fu** ups and we're halfway through the series.

the big series need the best umpires. if he's the best then fu** me.

All series are big series now that we have the test championship. Basically you're playing the BCCI card there. We're Australia therefore we deserve Umpires ranked 1 and 2 all the time.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Yeah Aus fluffed it, but that Stokes innings was all time. Incredible.

1-1 series is alive and Smith is back. Game on.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

The biggest bottling of all goes to Joel Wilson for not giving an absolutely plumb LBW decision.

Second place to Nathan Lyon who can't catch.

Third place to Marcus Harris who decides to throw to the bowlers end from fine leg.

Nah, #1 is Paine and Cummins reviewing that LBW. Couldn’t have chosen worse.

 

[Saint Shags]

Just cost the Ashes. Poor Captaining and bowling.

 

[Hawks_4478]

Paine should never captain again

 

[Suspense]

**** there will be some piss sunk in england tonight.

 

[catstorm]

As far as I’m concerned Paines position is completely untenable, offers nothing with the bat bog ordinary on the gloves and decision making as captain single handily lost us this match and probably the ashes.

 

[Blue1980]

For all the talk of SA we have to face facts we are the biggest chokers in test cricket in these tight games just always find a way to lose.

We don’t win many close tests do we? South Africa 2011 when Cummins played his first test comes to mind

 

[Deadline]

LOL.. that is all

 

[Bradesmaen]

The guy had 8 overturned decisions a few weeks ago.

And how many this time? I think you'll find it was 1.

 

[Moonwatcher]

We all feared Wilson would decide a match. There you go.

Probably won the Ashes for England
