intriguing

edit: re Wade promotion

 

[Compton]

Third Umpire has to give that not out, IMO. Hardly conclusive.

Edit: Hadn't realised umpire had it as out. Never mind.

original decision was out though, so didn't need to be conclusive.

The third umpire ruled it inconclusive; the standing umpire ruled it out after he was satisfied it wasn't a bump ball. Weird situation and I'm not really sure the right decision was made but I think the third umpire did the right thing.

Watching on my phone while the wee one watches Frozen, so I'm missing some of the details.

Thanks fellas!

Yeah third umpire's role was straightforward, just not sure Dar got it right. Under these circumstances, fairly sure 3rd can't over-rule the on-field ump.

the first time sheet I saw had Wade at 8. Needless to say I'm much more a fan of this

Bowlers need to not get carried away here. Bowl good lines and let the pitch give the assistance.

Yeah if you're going to bat Wade at 8 you might as well drop him for someone who can keep, especially given he usually completely sucks when he has to bat in the lower middle order in ODIs. I don't mind him in the side if he's in the top six though, and unlike everyone else Faulkner has actually proven he's pretty comfortable with the whole ODI icing thing.

Awful review.

 

[91Jmay]

That is a terrible review. Mathews is really poor at them

 

[Top_Cat]

And a slug in the field.

 

[Jono]

That's so ****. FFS match would have been on.

 

[91Jmay]

He has taken some blinders but his slipping technique is so upright. Which is odd for someone brought up on low pitches

 

[Compton]

Wade has played a lifetime of sweep shots today.

Relying on snaffling the blinders is what makes you a slug.

 

[91Jmay]

Wade looked fairly good there, disappointing way to get out

 

[91Jmay]

This is really fun to watch

Literally every random SL spinner is bowling hand grenades. This current Aussie team must be close to the worst collection against spin ever surely? Yeah it's jagging but gee do they make the balls look big prior to contact.
