I've enjoyed his no-nonsense view on things in the past, but he's really starting to struggle. It's sad to listen to his decline on air.

Ridiculous decision.

If that was given out to an Aussie batsmen we would be going off.

They should only change the umpires decision when clear as day it was wrong, any doubt goes to the batter.

Stay with the field umpires decision
not out.


Agree 100%. Either way it was a brutal delivery. The difference having Cummins as first change as opposed to a 125km Peter Siddle, we can maintain this hostility.

I'd still rather listen to Chappelli than the crap Michael Clarke dishes up.

Having said that, how good was the take? Pouched it neatly. If he hadn't appealed, you could've easilly been trying to look for it at the boundary.

I punched the floor. I was in the man cave and the missus heard me five rooms away and came to see if I was alright.

There's inconsistency - LBW reviews give the umps a bit of room for doubt. Why don't catch reviews?

Why hasn't Marsh bowled yet?
Thought he was brought in as the all rounder?

Rubbish

Putting the POMS in, less than 60 mins after our best fast bowler had just trod on a ball and rolled his ankle putting him out of the game was a bigger factor in us losing that game.

That said, I wasn't happy with that decision either....

As bad as Chappelli's got, still well behind Neil Harvey

68 overs and Marsh has bowled 2, leading into a break. Can see close to 450-500 total coming up here, pitch is already a road and will be the Barrier Highway tomorrow

Wouldn't call it rubbish, Kasper got fired. International umpires should get those decisions right. Had the decision been correct we almost certainly win and go 2-0 up.

She's looking like another mindnumingly dull drawn Perth Test.

A couple of costly dropped catches from the slips fielders.

Good partnership by the poms. Doubt they can lose the test from here unless we roll them for less than 400 and warner goes ballistic.

Only bowls 7 overs out of 89 in a day where only 4 wickets were taken. If he’s not bowling 12 or more what’s the point? May as well bowl Smith more. He’s just as good as joe root
