The whole team in the photo, impressive.

yep. great team, but a pack of whingers. they actually got the better of the contentious decisions.

If he had his way, there would be no controversy as it happened on the 5th day

TBF, I'm not sure how the Jaiswal LBW wasn't out. And if it was the correct decision, I'm not sure that it should be.

that's more to do with Joel Wilson's incompetence than technology

Playing back, hit on the knee roll on the back pad in front of the stumps..That should be given out every single time in test cricket
It should be the batsman that reviews it not the bowling team

 

[DaRick]

Rewatched the Jaiswal decision again. Sunny may have been right…

This is something out of David Lynch, I swear.

Was there a deflection? Or was there not a deflection? Was the deflection merely a reflection of the light?

When Poms are defending Aussies in Test cricket its at a level that should be a wake up cal for the whinging party

I enjoy hearing Michael Vaughan on the broadcast. One of the better ones IMO

 

[Jim Prideaux]

So what, he declared himself fit. He knows more than the sports science people about his own body and it was a different injury.
I bloody hate this Molly coddling. Starc plays if he says he is right.

His average balloons in 4th/5th test, so I’m not sure it’s Molly coddling to suggest he sit one out, especially if he’s carrying niggle. Not to mention the added workload that Boland and Cummins had this test in the first innings, and the short turnaround.

5 test series are a rarity

Richardson is a handy replacement.

I’d like to know if Siakat was umpiring and he gave it like most umpires would, would have it been referred and would Wilson then give it not out?

Pattinson said he was right for Adelaide 2012/13 as well, and that didn't turn out so well.

We wouldn't just be rotating Starc for the sake of it. Nor Marsh, for that matter.

Likely would have stayed out as they look at the slow-mo visions first and he see there's a deviation so there's no way he would overturn that but then it is Wilson and probably change his mind straight away with the RTS lol.

And there would be thousands of examples of players left out who were fit to play.
Stop Molly coddling them.

Let’s just win the series 3-1 and keep baiting them. They look like absolute dickheads and it’s getting worse

Says more about him "fresh out of jail" with what he thinks Head was doing.......

 

[PhatBoy]

Ironically Sharma himself, though some of his comments about the DRS issue were a little strange, seemed to be among the Indians handling it better than most: was pretty quick in the post match just to say Australia were too good

Well yeah, because you can't play everyone in the Shield.

The ball does deviate to the wicket keeper when it isn't even close to the bat or glove in England but it is not common in Australian condition and didn't do this during anytime of the Test.

It’s so different playing v England than India.

It’s a whole level of gloating v India if Australia wins. It’s like they want to be Australia so bad, yet keep stumbling doing so. WTC Final plus WC Final.
England is just the traditional rivalry.

He was always a nutcase.

Expecting Sidhu to not be a nutcase is like expecting drug dealers to not deal drugs.

I reckon he is good too.
