**Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

[the big bambino]

Gee Idk if Carey really thought he hit that.

 

[Zinzan]

Thought it sounded like pad live, so elbow makes sense.

I'm sure Kettleborough made that call based on the softer sound.

 

[Spark]

Remember Billy Bowden once gave Gillchrist out for something similar.

Then his mate came over and said what are you doing Gillys a walker mate course he didn't hit it.

oh yeah. . . ****

We forget too easily how abject umpiring could be pre-DRS

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pant lol

 

[Burgey]

Should not have been three there

 

[Zinzan]

Assuming Pant will up the ante when they're 8 down, but will be measured until then.

 

[Smudge]

Wtf is going on with RTS?

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is in Perth?

 

[Spark]

Should not have been three there

Bit of a yes/no call as well which could lead to another @OverratedSanity special

If Marsh is taking wickets, Nitish Reddy should too.

 

[Zinzan]

Assuming Pant will up the ante when they're 8 down, but will be measured until then.

Or now... beautiful shot.

 

[the big bambino]

Rishabh taking a punt here.

 

[Burgey]

If Marsh is taking wickets, then Hooksey's clearing pickets.

Blast from the past

 

[Starfighter]

Pant is gonna be a thorn in our side all series.

 

[smellcricketintheair]

Pant leg glances are such a comfort

 

[Spark]

Pant is gonna be a thorn in our side all series.

The best opposition batsman usually is

 

[Qlder]

Pant is gonna be a thorn in our side all series.

Well only until he gets out in the 90's

 

[Zinzan]

Assume Smithy wasn't renewed in the Fox comm box this year. Will miss his banter with Scull.

 

[Silver Silva]

Pant as a Test No.5 so far :

20 innings* - 1117 test runs @69.81 , SR 88.85

Could be argued that he should give up the gloves and play as pure specialist batsman.

 

[Burgey]

Assume Smithy wasn't renewed in the comm box this year.

NZ's got a home test series starting next week haven't they? He'll be busy there I suppose

Blast from the past

I don't understand
