Australia's Summer of Fun

[PowerBug]

Yeah Maxwell is a mega spud. Nigel Long explained that Wade review really well I thought, without it I think everyone would've been up in arms about it, but being able to hear his comments are great, and it clears up the grey area.

[Bill Manspeaker]

still think there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the decision. has to be conclusive evidence. yeah there was a mark on the glove, but on the frame before there was already a little white mark in that exact area, then on the next frame his glove had moved, so it could have been the ball, or it could have been the mark that was already there. no way he could be 100% certain his glove on the bat either, and he needs to be 100% to overturn

and god dammit I missed that wicket :P

De Kock really struggling to get any momentum so far this series.
(I think it would be better if De Kock was a bowler, more jokes that way)

While I agree, PB is right here.

Being able to hear what Nigel Llong was saying when he was reviewing it did help to at least understand how he came to the decision, rather than them just reviewing it, us waiting, hearing the new decision and thinking "oh, that's bullshower".

yeah I like the new way they do it, it's heaps better listening to them go through it step by step, but he still came to the wrong decision imo :P

Mitchy!

bang bang... Hazlewood on a hattrick

cmon

[Rusty00]

I'm a bit late with this comment, but 2 very ordinary dismissals from Amla so far this series.

[Rusty00]

Hazlewood has bowled really tonight! Shame we didn't have target for him to bowl at.

[Dudge]

De Villiers, what can we say, all the time in the world. Seems like he's got that much confidence or pure skill, that he actually feels no bowler in the world would bothers him.  Great to watch unfortunatley. l

KNEW THAT WOULD GET HIM ;D

3 wicket loss doesn't sound too bad. If NCN was a little tighter things would've been very interesting. Two completely different games, on the same pitch. Not bad!

[BratPack]

They're still showerty Nathan Lyon

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Hazlewood is doing his world cup chances no harm.

[Ringo]

Looks like Pup has been ruled out for the series.

I reckon we should look to the future and give Smith the captaincy for the series against India while he has experienced players around him rather than go to the aging Haddin who would be the obvious choice.

After all Ian Craig, who passed away yesterday, captained Australia at 22.
