4th Ashes Test - Old Trafford

[BIG BAZ]

Aussies took an electric sander to it.

It’s the rule mate that’s the farce

Not the teams doing it

If the ball is out of shape, there's not much else you can do. Been the same rule for decades.

It was almost a joke of a decision. Huge edge a few inches in front of his pad.

If hit the middle of the bat! If it hadn’t hit the bad, it’d have flew to square leg for 4.

Why is joss even playing a drive

A track record of cheating. Part of the deal is that you're always under suspicion.

Highly likely that they were cheating in the last series down in Australia.

No coincidence that the “best exponent of reverse swing” Mitchell Stark has went from world number 1 two years ago to not getting selected for 3 tests this time around. Wonder if anything happened to cause this in the last two years

There is, tough luck

Always been my view mate

Even BBC text complaining about Wade and his mouth

No need for sandpaper when you can just change the ball

Wouldn't normally cross my mind but as these are proven cheats. Have they found another way to cheat? Ball not doing enough, force it out of shape and get another.....

40 overs left but there's no guarantee they are going to get all these in.

They will need to if we are going to get 383

Smash a ball off him

41 overs to go - how many is that per over we need now?

5.5-ish

More than achievable

Think I won't watch when they get the new ball

Just thought that first up in this over. Easy one to just block - do that!
Another maiden - keep racking em up boys!

Imagine thinking we’d even try to win this

 

[TopCat]

This is such a weird field. Runs are out of the equation, the ball is turning and bouncing and you have a tail ender at the crease but only 3 men round the bat?

Wahay - just dicking about marra - not a serious post at all.
