1st Test: Australia V Pakistan

[locky801]

Watson needs to drop a couple of bouncers in, these blokes now comign 3 or 4 paces down the pitch easily to negate the reverse swing

Nope, he's brought Haddin up to the stumps., that will fix it. Best for Watson to keep bowling a fuller length than dropping short.

Now Haddin is up at the stumps yes,


Also notice Ian Chappell is not commentating on Nine this test, anyone know why

[locky801]

Watson been bowling well but a tad perplexed why Johnson has not been bought back on for the last few overs

[locky801]

Review time

[Adelaide Hawk]

I'm amazed by this referral system. How could the 3rd umpire tell if that was out? I'm confused.

[locky801]

Gone, the big wicket to Siddle, the Pakistan skipper is on his way

Pakistan now in trouble now at 4/109

Good move to leave Siddle on and not bring Johnson back (I've done it again)

Hawk it was clearly off the glove in the slow Mo replay

[locky801]

Thats stumps, Pakistan 4/109

Looking forward to a great days cricket tomorrow

Chappell seems to miss a Test every season. Could be part of the contract.

Clearly? How can you say that?

You seem to be the only one that missed it, perhaps we should ask you to explain rather than the other way around?

Even saw the glove go backwards at point of impact as was explained by Healy in the commentary

Maybe when you call an optometrist for Katich, you can call one for yourself too

Gee, another smart arse who never gets anything wrong.

Come on guys, that decision was no more "clear" than the Hauritz run out earlier in the day. I certainly don't think it was clear enough to reverse the umpire's decision under the current referral system rules. We all know it probably hit the gloves, but did we see it? The answer is NO. The same as Hauritz's run out. We all knew it was probably out, but the evidence was inconclusive frame by frame.

As for Katich, he was a metre from the bat and it was hit into the ground, surely he would have seen that from where he was. Nothing wrong with my eyes, I just know the difference between what I actually did see, what I think I saw, what others tell me happened, and what I assumed happened.

[Courtney Fish]

Crystal clear that it hit the glove on the slo-mo, and hot spot showed it too. The 3rd ump had to give it.

WHAT YOU'LL SEE TOMORROW IS aUSTRALIA sTRangle the life out of Pakistan and will cruise to an EASY win midway thru day 5 assuming Ponting doesn't enforce the follow on.
If u think thats going to be a great days cricket, well and good for you.
Personally i'd like to see a bit more of an even contest which we will stuggle to see in this test at least.

Nothing better than watching us completely dominate and win test matches as quickly as possible, as often as possible.

[locky801]

Edges still not carrying to the slips

[Pup]

18 off the last over.

Poor bowling by Siddle.
