one thing i can say through this series is that i have only had problems with specific english players and have called them out. gimh and a few others have always made it personal, complained to mods etc.

i can see why anderson is weak willed as a cricketer tbh. must be the stiff upper lip thing eng is proud of

Uppercut thinks he knows physics because he just watched Oppenheimer the other night.

I think it's clear the collective gut of Cricketweb agrees it's cheating
To be fair, the Aussies were up to some horrific stuff in the last Ashes. I mean what kind of ball makes Boland unplayable?

This Smith stat about runs in 3rd and 4th innings, I wonder if it is down to him just being tired at the end of a game. They say he hardly sleeps before day 1 of a test and is up half the night shadow batting in his room, does he do this every night and so is shattered by day 4/5?

Also be interesting to see his dropped catch percentage on days 4 and 5 compared to 1, 2 and 3.

I think Dharmablahblah picked the ball. Saw a video where Joel was going through different balls trying to pick up the right ball and Dharm just swooped in and picked one randomly
Alpha. Makes the wrong decision without even thinking about thinking. That's the Kumar we love.

Joel has much to learn about being an elite ICC umpire.

This is generally what people say yeah, his concentration and mental sharpness drops steadily as a game goes on.

It's not cheating it's just really poor officiating having an undue influence on the game. Some things never change through history.
