    Should Mankading law be outlawed?

    Yeah I just don't really get how that would be effective if batsmen thought they could be dismissed via Mankad. How are you going to trick the batsmen into leaving his crease unless he's already intending to leave his crease and is trying to time it down to the second as you run in? Just don't...

    Man this is pretty bad. One of the worst middle periods of an innings I can remember, at least when compared to the start.

    Should Mankading law be outlawed?

    I don't really understand the idea that Mankading becoming commonplace would hurt the entertainment value of the sport. If Mankad became a regular form of dismissal, batsmen would just stay in their crease until the ball was bowled. Nobody would ever risk being dismissed for a few cm head start...

    That was fun.

    God the on field interviews never stop being pure cringe.

    Fantastic batting advice from Ian Healy. "Don't miss, or play a false shot".

    Feel Marsh should have been retained personally. Tough call either way though.

    Wait do people really think Smith declared to preserve the sanctity of triple centuries or something? It's obviously because of the threat of rain and the pressure to be aggressive and ignore milestones, nothing to do with Voges. Unnecessary declaration obviously but it won't impact the result...

    Don't even think this pitch is that lifeless honestly. 400 would be a good score.

    Australian Domestic Season 2015/16

    Damn, Paris. And Renshaw. Good round of games for some new players.

    Strong contribution from Guptill this test.

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

    The point is he scored a lot of runs in shield cricket, got minimal test opportunities while continuing to score runs in warmup games throughout the Ashes series, and earned the right to be the #1 replacement batsman. Fair enough if you don't rate him but he's not being picked based on random...

    Shaun Marsh definitely deserves his spot in the team based on weight of runs in FC cricket in the last couple of years IMO, was pretty unlucky to not play more in the Ashes or the first two tests of this series. I totally get why people don't really rate him, but some of the stuff I've been...

    God this is ****ing great viewing.

    Marsh has had a pretty great run with the ball since getting picked in the Ashes. Batting has been pretty worthless, but still.

    Nice. Terrific game of cricket.

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia 2015

    For what it's worth for all the sad NZ fans, pretty sure Australia still aren't favourites. Starc injured is a big deal, could easily score NZ making 300+ in the next innings.

    Was that Starc or one of the Kiwi players on the stump mic?

    There are exactly two types of keepers.

    Haha that was so close to being another crappy umpire's call decision. Really didn't look out imo.
