lol that's out. Carey withdrew the appeal though for sure.

It's an odd one for sure. But I don't think the ball had the momentum to dislodge the bails.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

This is the most opportune time to declare, Stokesy.

 

[Bahnz]

Thank **** that wasn’t referred, if it had been the third umpire would still be making his mind up.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Dreadful by Carey. He has looked poor since the Bairstow incident. It has clearly got to him as he never put a foot wrong in opening 2 tests.

 

[Athlai]

England gonna declare soon

 

[NZTailender]

Could you call that Schrodinger's run out

 

[91Jmay]

ah wait nah the bail wasn't totally off so was not out.

But yeah as above we'd have lost 4 overs with 3rd umpire then.

 

[Athlai]

Of course there wasn't an appeal. He didnt catch it and also smashed the stumps with his gloves.

They had no way to know the ball may have also made contact

 

[flibbertyjibber]

England gonna declare soon

No we won't. Not till we have 550+ on the board and can win by an innings. No point declaring yet, need runs on the board now.

 

[Socerer 01]

where is your spirit of cricket now lads

 

[RightArmMystery]

No we won't. Not till we have 550+ on the board and can win by an innings. No point declaring yet, need runs on the board now.

Yep. Should get at least another 150 before thinking of declaring.

 

[trundler]

That's what you call disintegration.

 

[Athlai]

No we won't. Not till we have 550+ on the board and can win by an innings. No point declaring yet, need runs on the board now.

But they'll never expect it #bazball

 

[Stapel]

I honoustly wouldn't know if it's out when a ballless glove and the ball hit a stump at the same time.

 

[Molehill]

Wondering how few overs the Aussies will actually bowl this morning, seems like they've accepted the penalty already.

 

[morgieb]

We may as well forfeit the 5th Test at this point. This is like watching visiting sides to Australia.

 

[Gnske]

Are we really surprised our fairweather pretend ecologist of a captain isn't smart or ruthless in his captaincy?

It was done for as soon as we tried to literally have our cake and eat it too with Marsh and Green. It's moronic to go ahead without a frontline spinner and it was always going to invite bad karma

 

[Qlder]

I honoustly wouldn't know if it's out when a ballless glove and the ball hit a stump at the same time.

Bail has to be fully dislodged to be out and Careys glove hit the stumps before it was fully dislodged, so not out
