Bumrah should've kept himself on. Reckon if he could get his yorker on target while Marsh is new at the crease he'd have a 50:50 chance if slipping it through.

 

[Spikey]

Don't think Marnus can be doing that outside of the crease

 

[Spark]

Errr what is Marnus doing there?

 

[Spark]

Siraj is well within his rights to ask the question there. Wtf is Marnus doing?

 

[King Kane]

Marnus skating on thin ice, very lucky to still be out there.

 

[Gnske]

This is up there with the worst innings ever by any batsman ever

 

[Bahnz]

India would be well within their rights to appeal for that.

 

[BazBall21]

Just seen Kohli's dismissal. No back foot game...

I suppose it's never been tested but that can't be considered defending your wicket, from the the ball spinning back onto them, surely. Surely you've gotta be back in your crease before you can start doing that

 

[Burgey]

This is a terrific example of how a cluttered mind ****s with everything.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah.. dunno what the comms are going on about.

I think that would be a legit "hitting the ball twice" if he made contact!

How come there's been zero discussion about Smith's wicket?

What is there to discuss?

Welcome back dude.

 

[danzydab]

Australia is preparing raging green tops.
Makes for very entertaining cricket.

 

[Molehill]

What is there to discuss?

Yeah, it's not like everyone doesn't know to go to the full inswinger when Smith starts. In the old days he clipped it through mid wicket, but not anymore....

 

[Smudge]

What is there to discuss?

Someone could start an incredibly long list of LBWs less plumb than Smith's today?

I think we've seen that dismissal about ten times now in the last three years. Bloke misses straight balls and gets pinned on the crease all the time, let alone massive in-seamers like Bumrah bowls.
