[chalky]

FFS Pitch it up Arghhh

 

[Jarquis]

Oooooooh

 

[91Jmay]

Good no review. Pitch it up from now on and we can take wickets.

 

[GIMH]

Good call not to review

 

[AaronK]

Great God.. It is just a Hat Trak.. leave it alone.. the Aussie commentators :-(

As I recall, this is their second interview with Siddle..

 

[vic_orthdox]

Good decision by Strauss not to use the referral. Even better decision by Dar.

 

[Ruckus]

Do we get new referals now? Or do they hang over from yesterday?

No one used any in Australia's innings

 

[Janki_Jasoos]

Aussie commentators praising Aleem Darr.

 

[King Pietersen]

Australia referred an LBW against Trott didn't they? But to answer the question, you get 2 un-successful referrals per innings.

2 per team per innings

Cook's technically all over the place, but to me he's more aesthetically pleasing than Katich. There's just something about Katich that just annoys me when watching him. The awkward shuffle, the way he's always flicking the ball to fine leg, just an irritating man to watch bat. I guess it's all personal opinion at the end of the day, but for me, there's no worse top-order batsman in the world to watch than Simon Katich.

Excellent end to the over. If Broad sticks to that length he could definitely get some joy, just needs to be patient.

Even as an Aussie he is really boring to watch, but it's always been effective for him.

Two guys who used to be great to watch are Hussey and Clarke. At their best they can look awesome, but right now they bat so slowly and make runs in ugly fashion.

Eg. YouTube - Hussey and McGrath partnership vs South Africa 2005

Yeah but that was our batting innings, doesn't it reset every innings for both teams?

 

[superkingdave]

Not the best start, could be a long day.

 

[AaronK]

Aussie commentators praising Aleem Darr.

maybe they don't know that he is Pakistani hahha



anyways i am tired of them talking about Siddle's bowling and his Hat Trak.. give it a rest now.

 

[Ruckus]

Yeah but that was our batting innings, doesn't it reset every innings for both teams?

That's why I was asking. Apparently it does, so Australia should have 2 reviews available (if unsuccesful).

 

[King Pietersen]

Yeah but that was our batting innings, doesn't it reset every innings for both teams?

Yeah, it does. Each team get 2 unsuccessful referrals per innings. I thought you were referring to Australia's bowling innings.

please please please can we just have a few overs of full and accurate bowling!
