How’s that not even umpires call?! Hmmmm

Because it was three reds and hitting the stumps

 

[MW1304]

So much chat about whether Stokes could bowl... love to see it.

Really plays to a script, does Ben.

 

[Aidan11]

Does anyone think Stokes will enforce the follow on later?

Outswinger that hit the seam and went straight

 

[woodleigh]

C'mon aussies, lets at least draw against these kiwis

Yes he certainly is very fake

 

[halba]

Game over. lucky to win a test in this series.

Where does Sangakarra get this strong English accent from he puts on will always remain a mystery

It slightly morphs into an Aussie accent and a Kiwi accent if he goes there instead.

Nah will bat again, reach 10-0 and declare.

 

[CartyDurham]

When McCullum was captain Boult and Southee were always trying to change the ball a lot.

It’s a modern thing but it’s down to the umpires. England ask but the umps can tell them to go away

I’ve no problem with any side asking fir a ball change. It’s one of those things

 

[Spark]

Outswinger that hit the seam and went straight

It's a misjudgement. The ball is not moving anywhere near enough for the line he was trying to play it.

Interesting. Also, go **** yourself

 

[TheJediBrah]

"Top Edge" lol Athers he smashed that mate

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Smith has got out to a bloke who bowls with only one good leg.

Yes, but a Kiwi leg has stronger muscles and tendons than average legs. Scientifically proven.

 

[slowfinger]

absolutely loving Bairstow's chat here

 

[Himannv]

Oh. Is your mum not available today?

Might as well. Hawkeye has been programmed to its English setting.

oh what a shame Smith doesn’t like it. I’m distraught

Probably completely true tbh
