*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[zaremba]

Bell at 7, ffs

 

[MW1304]

I'm sad now

 

[GIMH]

Feel for Collingwood there. Just horribly out of nick. Desperate shot.

Yeah was like he couldn't see where the runs were gonna come from

 

[hazsa19]

Wtf Colly? Why leave the short ones outside off stump and then go charging down!?

Bell will get stumped doing the same thing. they're all obsessed with charging down.

 

[zaremba]

I suppose Colly did his job as Ian Bell's drinkswatchman

 

[Pizzorno]

Fat lady tuning up on Colly's test career one suspects.

Aye. Let's just hope she reserves her judgement on his ODI career until after he's won us the World Cup.

 

[pskov]

Hope so, because it implies England won't bat again, which would suit them fine.

Or that England chase down a fairly modest total.

Either way I'd be happy with that too. Colly's been a good servant but It's pretty clear he needs to move on from the test team now.

 

[TumTum]

Smith is batting at 7 and hasn't been bowled yet

 

[Burgey]

Which was out.

Not bitter much are you ? ****.

Yeah, the mid-80s high resolution super slow-mo confirmed it.

You're Bryce's alter-ego aren't you?

 

[MW1304]

Good yorkers from the ****.

 

[hazsa19]

Everytime I see that shot it gets worse. I could have smashed that through the offside on the back foot! No really, I could.

 

[zaremba]

Yeah, the mid-80s high resolution super slow-mo confirmed it.

And amazingly that very same hi res super slo-mo enabled you to mark down Gower as a byword for claiming grounded catches...

 

[Spark]

Woah. Cracker.

 

[sledger]

Everytime I see that shot it gets worse. I could have smashed that through the offside on the back foot! No really, I could.

Easy statement to make when you consider who the bowler was.

 

[GIMH]

Good spell this

 

[Burgey]

Quality over from Watson there. They tend to stand out when our blokes bowl them

 

[zaremba]

Everytime I see that shot it gets worse. I could have smashed that through the offside on the back foot! No really, I could.

Yeah it was filth, an appropriate ball to get Colly out though given how he was playing

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Yeah, the mid-80s high resolution super slow-mo confirmed it.

You're Bryce's alter-ego aren't you?

Hit Lamb on ankle. get over it it was 25 years ago you sad man.

 

[four_or_six]

I'm a bit worried about Siddle coming back. It was like this in Brisbane, Watto showed him what to bowl and then Siddle came on and did it really well.

 

[sledger]

I'm a bit worried about Siddle coming back.

I don't want to look at him either.
