*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[Spark]

Hughes's expression is rather weird tbh.

 

[Themer]

What crap comments. He's plainly unsure as he comes up. Not a Dhoni, Strauss or Clarke moment by any stretch.

Yeah he was unsure at first but all of a sudden he claims it and lobs the ball in the air.

This. English trolls in anti Australian shocker.

Like the look of Beer. Could have had Englands best batsman twice.

 

[superkingdave]

Yep feel for old Beero

 

[Pizzorno]

What crap comments. He's plainly unsure as he comes up. Not a Dhoni, Strauss or Clarke moment by any stretch.

He knew he hadn't caught it, yet as soon as he saw his teammates celebrating he didn't think to say "oh hang on a minute chaps i'm not sure" he just straight up claimed it. That's bang out of order.

 

[Burgey]

Bollox,

Full of ****. Can see he's unsure about it on the replays, he looks around at the umpire too. You're kidding yourself if you think he was out and out saying he definitely caught it.

 

[pskov]

I don't think Hughes was cheating, I think he thought he had caught it.

Nah, looking at his reaction he knows he didn't catch it. He does the 'ooh, that's close' face and then when everyone else goes up a bit of a shrug and then eventually throws in the air and starts celebrating. Best case is he wasn't sure but just went along with it anyway, which is still pretty poor too imho.

 

[GIMH]

Get in lad!!!!!!

 

[superkingdave]

Played Cookie

 

[Jacknife]

Well done Cookie,

 

[King Pietersen]

Hundred for Cook. What a performance, what a series. Bloody well played.

 

[grecian]

Well done Cooky, class act out there

 

[Woodster]

That wasn't like a sharp slip catch where you're diving forward and not sure whether it has carried, that's bounced up into his hands, and he absolutely knew it.

Don't feel for Beer at all, he couldn't keep his foot behind the line yesterday, and today Hughes has stopped the ball rolling past him and tried to claim a catch, neither anything like a wicket.

 

[Themer]

Full of ****. Can see he's unsure about it on the replays, he looks around at the umpire too. You're kidding yourself if you think he was out and out saying he definitely caught it.

Forgot that throwing the ball in the air was the natural reaction to "I don't think I've caught it"

 

[MW1304]

Wooo Cookie! He's been superb, deserves that despite his 'luck'.

 

[Burgey]

Pretty ordinary that. As Gower points out, Hughes knows, Haddin knows & when Clarke goes up they then join in.

Disappointing, tbh.

Dire of Gower to say much after the 1985 silly point "catch" from Wayne Phillips.

 

[four_or_six]

What a legend.

He threw the ball to the umpire I think. Thought he turned and threw it that way tbh.

Played Cook.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

All far to easy for Cook.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well done Cookie.

Good triumphs over evil once more.
