Cricket- the sport not the insect

[Cyivel]

Feel sorry for Rogers, hard for him to know whether he should have reviewed it given the strangeness of the ball but maybe if Watson hadn't wasted one he could have taken the chance.

DRS problems again. He should have reviewed it. Watson wasted his of course.

 

[movingtarget]

I would have been difficult to judge that ball for Roger's and after what happened with Watson, the pressure was on him not to review.

Let's not forget - another **** decision from the umpires. The rub of the green again against the Aussies. FFS

 

[darwin553]

Easy catch for Trott - should go back to his usual sweeping position.

 

[movingtarget]

Aussies get a break. Shocking miss. Worse than Cook's in the last test.

 

[darwin553]

I forgot that Clarke is at 5 and Hughes was in now

DRS time again

DRS time again

Those have got to be overturned.

I was a stupid shot but did he hit it ? I agree with Holding. I could only see a spot on the ball. Maybe the Indians are right. Dump the DRS. Aussies in deep trouble again.

Back when it was introduced, this type of referral would have overturned the on-field decision.

Anyway, Watson should still be blamed for the predicament that the Aussies find themselves in.

The alternative is Hughes has wasted another review. I hope that's not true.

 

[darwin553]

Clarke isn't out

Looking at the pictures he didn't. Certainly Watson did.

A mess on all counts. We badly need a partnership.

Cowan shot to dismiss Khawaja - very disappointed.

Brain snap. Does Khawaja think he is going to keep getting second chances to play for Australia. Maybe he isn't thinking at all.

Maybe he's got some re-assurance from boof that even if he fails in either or both of the innings that he will still get another chance. Still both Watson and Khawaja's performance is calling for a return of Warner in some form.

Am I wrong to start thinking the old school? Katich, Hussey, Ponting...

Katich and Ponting both century makers in their last digs I think - if we can somehow spring a draw from this game (rain, come on London it has to rain eventually), those two need to be called on. **** preparing for the future, we need to be competitive right now!

Khawaja outperformed Phil Hughes by a margin of 1400%, and that's before you factor in wasting a review. He's far the superior batsman.

Katich's sacking was a disgrace, Hussey's retirment was terrible timing but it seemed it was not only missing his family, it was the internal problems he was also tired of. Punter retired on a century. Someone make the calls. This could be a rout with two more quick wickets.

If Watson and Clarke can make up, so can Katich and Clarke. If they can't, that's too ****ing bad as it is in the nation's interests that they do.

They are both overrated. Let's face it.
