*Official* Third Test at the WACA

[wiff]

Funny that was overturned, only heard on radio though

 

[Jono]

Australia were paying $1.13, that means they thought Australia were only 88.49% chance of victory.

Hilarious.

 

[NUFAN]

Never fear, Siddle is here, what a wicket from the man!

Peter Siddle moves up to equal 71st with Shoaib Akhtar on 178 wickets.

 

[Spark]

Not really sure what the point of snicko is there. What did it add? Nothing on hotspot, camera angle inconclusive but just went on noise that we knew without it.

I think snicko is there to confirm the noise. The hotspot was useless, the edge was on the opposite side to the camera.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Good ball...good shot. Now piss off bloodnut.

 

[dumastudetto]

Another disgusting decision from the third umpire.... how the **** is that concrete proof that he knicked off? Robbed.

 

[SpofforthLohman]

Game over now, surely?

Hope so. I just want the ashes back.

 

[Jarquis]

This will be over tonight then...

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Well batted Stokes, shame some of the more experienced blokes haven't shown as much fight as you.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

I do find it hard to believe there was nothing on hotspot when the noise was so clear.

 

[Arachnodouche]

If perchance a team happens to pull off a heist from a position like this, can it honestly be said deserving of the win? I'd be more inclined to call it an anomaly of cosmic proportions.

 

[dumastudetto]

Those decisions have to be umpires call.

But then Tony Hill shouldn't be near officiating cricket matches for years so I guess his random decision making is seen as good entertainment.

 

[ajdude]

he'll be Stoked with that innings then.

 

[Johnners]

Good innings that. Bring Lyon back imo

 

[91Jmay]

Stokes with a really nice knock. Certainly has talent with the bat and a solid technique. Quality spin will be a huge test for him though which he hasn't faced yet.

Disappointing with Belly there. All for being positive but he has 10 from the over already.

 

[Prince EWS]

I do find it hard to believe there was nothing on hotspot when the noise was so clear.

It's because the part of the bat it hit wasn't actually shown on HotSpot.

 

[Spark]

I do find it hard to believe there was nothing on hotspot when the noise was so clear.

Again. It was on the opposite side of the bat.

Hotspot, as far as I know, cannot see around corners.

 

[_Ed_]

Stokes showing plenty of quality. Good to see.

 

[ImpatientLime]

Uhhhh guys, Stokes is pretty competent against the short ball.

 

[SpofforthLohman]

Right.

Can we return to sensible, reasoned cricket discussion now?

Once we got the ashes back you are very welcome. Just that it's been so long, a hard road. If you told me that Australia was going to win the ashes back this time just before the Brisbane test I would have called the insane asylum. I don't know how anyone could have even imagined this result.
