[Kraken]

It’s SLUGs world, we’re just living in it

 

[FBU]

Webster's first 50 - top scorer

 

[King Kane]

Not a bad test debut so far from the Slug from Snug.

 

[cricman]

How much were the bookies paying for Webster to be top scorer?

i blame rohit in the last test

 

[Spikey]

Shut the **** up about this DRS whinging and just admire the sheer form of this big headed doofus

When he's out very a LBW call that didn't consider the bails, I'll remember this post

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Webster has massive daddy energy

Marsh has fun drunk uncle energy

 

[Gnske]

i blame rohit in the last test

Rohit: I need you to bowl another 7
Jasprit: No thanks I opt out

See easy as that. Bumrah's fault

 

[Son Of Coco]

An Aussie all-rounder getting 50!?

I'm getting a bit emotional.

 

[subshakerz]

Take a bow Webster.

 

[Nintendo]

Crazy how good we look when we play with 10 players instead of 9.

I think I seen 9/1 AKA 10.0 ....he'd have been around same price as Carey IMO.

I haven't looked at the playing conditions myself but there's a bit of a contradiction here because at one point they say hawkeye is as per the match conditions and at another point they say hawkeye wasnt as per the match conditions (the 2021 thing). So I'm not quite sure whether this is accurate

From the ICC website, apparently last updated December 2023:

3.4.6.2 The Wicket Zone is defined as a two dimensional area whose boundaries are the outside of the outer stumps, the base of the stumps and the top of the stumps.

So it looks like they didn't actually update the playing conditions, despite voting to do so in 2021 and announcing it:

ICC cricket committee makes key change to lbw reviews in DRS

The "wicket zone" will now be extended all the way to the top of the bails. Previously it stopped at the bottom of the bails

The ICC opted out of their own decision

 

[subshakerz]

Im having a bit of nostalgia seeing Kohli as captain again.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah it looks like the ICC changed it in 2021 but no-one noticed/cared to update the actual technology.

lol amateur hour. It’s the Max 8 of cricket tech

If he loses the earring he goes up on my bedroom wall

 

[Gnske]

Why does Cummins have better weight transfer through his drives than any of our top 5

Edit: Lol

 

[Son Of Coco]

Nooo Australia.

You're doing it all wrong.

 

[Spark]

Keep losing wickets just as they're starting to get momentum ffs
