3rd Test at the SCG, Sydney, 7 Jan - 11 Jan 2021

He’s finding out how tough it is to back up against totals of 200 odd.

What are you talking about, he's played all his tests overseas where we have been 200 odd or lower like 75% of the time

Not last time they were out here, he didn’t

So the umpires should just listen to players Depending on how popular they are all over the world? So basically only Kane Williamson.

I would say great idea but then he'd probably be 100% fair and non biased, the ****.

Bumrah always seem to take a bit of time to work into a spell/innings tbf. Tends to bowl a lot better as the innings goes on from what I've seen.

There exists a world outside Australia. Much of it is better too.

There was a notorious incident in 1981 where Doug Walters was batting with deadset ferret Jim Higgs, who was bounced out off the gloves and the umpire ruled it not out on the basis of intimidatory bowling.

I think the bowler was Martin Sneddon or some such. Which was bizarre, because Lille and Thommo then the Windies had spent half a decade bouncing every **** all the time

It was Lance Cairns:

I don't think some of Ian Chappell's comments would be well recieved nowadays.

Not really what I'm saying. There is no provision in the laws for interpretation based on the captain's attitudes and saying "hurrr, this is test cricket, not for pansies, blah, blah, blah, blah." This is regardless of how popular they are, but this attitude seems particularly prevalent amongst Australians particularly from that sort of cricket culture that Waugh played a part in establishing, and Taufel seemed to think it lent that attitude some sort of credibility.

Great...

Good post, perhaps the best of the thread.

 

[Burgey]

FTR that culture existed for decades before Steve Waugh and isn’t just an Australian thing either.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Why the **** does Ashwin have to be at mid-on when the plan is to bowl on the stumps?

Beauty from Siraj. Love the guy.
