It never looked quite as controlled tbf. More explosive.

Haha!! I did think I read a comment previously suggesting there’s a large in-joke material you post. It’s fair enough mate, I’m just licking my wounds after more disappointment! Though I have missed your opinion based posts even if I didn’t agree with them all!

Yeah so at worst it's a tactic the bowling side can pull out when they're behind in the game and they want to just stall it
which is ****, I agree. I think we'll see batsmen develop better plans against it than they showed this game. It was pretty poor from all the batsmen here
There's no doubt Australia deserved this win - they had the worst of the conditions but as with the 1st test we had chances to take control and didn't take them.
The think the rule as regards the Bairstow type dismissal needs looking at. Yes he was careless but its not a great look for cricket.

Yeah but he also creamed most of them. Half of his Headingly runs came from skied miscues and he should have been out a dozen times

This one was better because he was saving Test cricket.

How can you though? The ball is literally on its way before Bairstow has even left the crease. When is the ball dead?

The more you're here the more you'll get the references. You probably understood my "spooked" reference was just taking the piss when Woodster didn't, for example.

Okay sure.
What we didn't have here was seeing how he dealt with it getting so close. Had clearly just run out of steam. Any sort of platform and it could have been a different story.
The umpire wasn't even watching because he'd turned to give the bowler his cap.
When the ball is in the keepers hands and the batsmen isn't attempting a run, then most would consider the ball to be dead.
By the rules it's out, and Bairstow was really poor but there have been plenty of dimissals down the years that leave a bitter taste and this is another one.
