What ****ing happens here?

 

[pasag]

Haha, on yer bike son.

 

[Spikey]

That was pretty unlucky, the bowlers were targetting his body down leg side and this time johnson was rewarded.

Incredible bowling by Johnson, amazing talent!

Boucher out?

What happened?

 

[four_or_six]

Farcical really, because it's probably not out but the evidence wasn't there. If they're going to do referrals, they should at least do it properly. Hotspot or snicko has to be used.

Crikey. 96* and 3-23. Someone's having a decent game.

Original decision should stand if there's no conclusive evidence to change that, but yeah not a fan of the whole referral system.

Should be batting by lunch here.

It should be a rule if they do not have all of the tech. such as hot spot, snicko and hawkeye then no referral system

Not convinced he hit that tbh

Yes, the third umpire made the only decision he could. But our studio commentators just had a real go at Boucher for standing and shaking his head when he was given out, but what was he supposed to do?

 

[inbox24]

Large counterattacking partnership between de Villiers and a tail ender detected.

 

[four_or_six]

Boucher still sat on the balcony ranting. If he did hit it, he's a brilliant actor.

Mark Nicholas has been excellent this morning, very insightful around the third umpire decisions. Backing up my viewpoint that he's a good commentator, it's just he's dragged down by his co-commentators when he's in Australia.

Better then usual but still annoying me, repeats himself again and again

I know I say this every so often but Hilfenhaus is a fantastic Test prospect imo.

Got a slippery bouncer too, saw him slip one in at 147kph earlier today.

Still no McDonald?

It's unhealthy to have McDonalds in the team.

It's unhealthy to have McDonalds in the team.

Kim Hughes said on the radio today that he was not upto it

 

[pasag]

de Villiers running out of partners here. If Bollinger was playing we would have easily been able to enforce the follow on, now it really depends on how tired these three are.

 

[Matt79]

Lol, just checked the scores for the first time in a couple of hours. Only thing curbing my joy right now is not having FoxSports...

 

[four_or_six]

Well that didn't look out.
