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

Yeah. It's just horrible umpiring. Like I said it's hard not to be cynical but it is what it is. Umpiring stocks are grim indeed if we're saddled with these two for a game of thsi magnitude.

The "new" ball only did a little bit more last night. The weather conditions are having a bigger impact imo.

You're right, but I was taking the piss out of it then too. It wasn't doing heaps but it was obviously a lot harder and doing a more than the previous ball, immediately. The umpiring decision was seriously weird and it's right to question it.

Khawaja's bad short ball technique has possibly cost Australia the series here. Should be dropped for it.

I'm gonna miss the classic Broad to left-handers delivery. Looks so so good when he gets it right.

Oh yeah, I'm laughing about it but it's absolutely shocking umpiring. Post-DRS you need to get creative to be that bad.

like i mean i’m ****ty as anybody about the ball change but a) England didn’t even ask for it to be changed, b) the outrage from media in this country is going to be so cringy, which leads to c) every old person i know will be asking me “gee do you think those poms were unfair with that ball change?” and i just don’t have the capacity to deal with that

How funny is it though that Warner ends his career with less centuries in England than Marsh and Wade.

God he needs to be dropped like midgets were dropped from appearing in the new Wonka film.

Definitely should drop the man responsible for both winning the Ashes and losing the series.
