5th Ashes Test England v Australia July 27-31 1930hrs @ The Oval

[Fat Nyfe]

This Ashes has been great entertainment right to the last day

Would be nice if the Poms could show up for once when they tour here next to actually make it an interesting series

That's touch and go, and we would be spitting venom if that had gone against an Australian fielder.
He did control the ball and arguably himself, but not the release (which is not the Law). Its quite different to the Starc one, where it was grassed while trying to regain control of his own motion.

I guess smacking yourself in the knee when attempting to throw the ball in celebration is not full control of your own movement, so "not out" is probably correct. Either way one set of fans would be fuming at a grey area interpretation of the Laws.

Nothing grey about that. If anything more clear than the Gibbs 99 World Cup one.

 

[SSwans2011]

The review was just about the funniest thing I've ever seen, but pretty disgusting scenes from England after that.

When was the last time you saw Australian players, or any for that matter, get in the face of the umpires like that?

That's just so not on, and not to mention, the umpires have done absolutely nothing wrong.

 

[AJ_2000]

They've gotta hold their nerve during the break and not give them the review back. **** em

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Stiff if they lose a review. But they didn't need to review to check the catch

Why? Was given not out on field and stays not out.

 

[smasha]

I was wondering why were the crowd cheering loudly after they saw the ball hit the glove because it meant SFA after the dropped catch.
Even the crowd trying to cheat a wicket.

[The Tilt]

Me too…and I was fine with the bairstow stumping too.

Same here. I was very f*cking fine with the Bairstow stumping.

 

[MJG14]

Stokes did a Gibbs hahaha

We've seen this story before

Our media would bash the side for months as ugly Australians

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Well duck me if Mark Taylor doesn't sound like Kenny Callander all of a sudden. Is he planning a pass on Louise in the wrap party and getting a bit lispy with excitement?

Yup fines galore

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I can't ******* breath!

That is the greatest moment in Ashes history.

Tisk tisk... forgetting Crawley's first ball four

 

[The King!]

anyway need 50s from both of these guys

 

[kozi]

HES DROPPED IT

 

[dumb]

Gotta make it count

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

That was an incredibly selfish review. Did he really think TV ump has going to overall that dropped catch?

 

[Aussie_boy]

Radar doesn't look good that's for sure. As good as this series has been I'm glad today is the last day of it. Sick of their shitty weather and the late nights. Makes the SCG seem like a semi-decent test venue.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Did they clarify if the review was lost? It 100% should be.

Own goal by Stokes... wasting a review when he personally dropped the catch... then pleads to get it back. Lol just beyond stupid.

 

[AJ_2000]

Cant wait to see the Piers Morgan Meltdown over that one!

It was the precursor to the BF outage

 

[Filthy Sanchez]

Bring on a great finish to an incredible series!

**** off rain!

 

[William Caresser]

Which makes you wonder why he would review it

One rule for England mentality - think they've won games when they haven't, now think they've taken catches when they haven't.

Nope clearly not a catch. Have a look at Stokes real time reaction on the replay.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

IMO, two incorrect ones.

This one is slightly less clear because Starc had two hands to it and went to ground in a second motion whereas this one is kind of outstretched and a bit in one motion, but i lend towards both being catches under my interpretation, but under the Starc interpretation both are clearly not catches. There's a very narrow point where you could think Starcs is a catch but this isn't (due to the one v two motions) but I don't need to stray there.
