Looks stone dead

 

[Ruckus]

Why on Earth would you review that...plumbest ball I've ever seen.

 

[Bobisback]

Was he hoping for a no ball?

 

[Top_Cat]

Rubbish review. Total waste of time. Was plumb all the way down.

 

[Spark]

Issues.

 

[benchmark00]

SA first innings lead. No question.

 

[Burgey]

Usman a left handed Ponting there, falling over and not playing straight. Bit poor.

 

[Days of Grace]

Does anyone think like me that reviewing a lbw shout comes down to the batsman's ego? The batsmen decides to review it before thinking about the rest of the team, i.e. how many reviews are left.

 

[Spikey]

I think every single one of Usman's dismissals post-Sydney have been LBW's with the ball coming into him? It's only 3 dismissals mind you. But still

 

[Top_Cat]

Was bowled in SL. Point remains, though.

 

[Burgey]

Terrible shot from Hussey.

Gee it's frustrating watching quality players seemingly refusing to learn from their errors.

 

[Spikey]

i mean if it was Hughes......

 

[Spark]

Hussey has an inch-wide bat here.

I think in that instance he realised the batting to come is ********.

 

[Ruckus]

Might be a tad harsh, but you help but think Ponting is partly responsible for our batting collapses. It's like batting one short, and puts unnecessary pressure and doubt back into the minds of the batsmen coming in...not to mention it pumps the opposition bowlers up.

 

[Redbacks]

Khawaja just doesn't look ready for this level. Not enough shots.

 

[ganeshran]

The other partner should be consulted before reviewing. Sehwag had this bad habit of reviewing even if he was plumb in front.

Williamson + Bravo > Khawaja

Really didn't think that would be the case a year ago.

Nah we'll get there, pretty confident about that. It just won't be the 100-150 it looked like it was going to be after the first session, probably more like 20-30. Or 4 overs of Johnson with the new ball.
