[Dadsarmy73]

Haven’t seen the stokes catch ,was it the right decision?

Yes

Haven’t seen the stokes catch ,was it the right decision?

Yes he dropped it while celebrating

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Having seen it again, his right foot isn't planted when the arm hits the thigh. Fair enough.

 

[Church]

That Stokes moment is a sort of reflection of some of his less mature elements of playing in this series.

What a truly careless thing to do, and if a schoolkid did that they at least would have the excuse of inexperience on their side...

 

[Bears Beets]

Just seen what Ben did, that could be the match right there

It’s done I reckon, stokes dropping it was the nail in the coffin.

 

[Roker Mackem]

Haven’t seen the stokes catch ,was it the right decision?

Yes

 

[Hyltons finest]

Love Stokes but he’s dropped a huge bollock here:

1. The actual drop
2 reviewing it WTF

The umpires should’ve reviewed it like. Heat of the moment he’s gone up

 

[jaraarrow]

What a frustrating series,gonna get beat 3-1,yet if it weren’t for moments of stupidity by the england team it could have easily been 3-1 or 3-2 the other way

 

[Deleted member 41188]

It’s not over yet.

Couple of quick wickets after lunch and were right in it.

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

Own worst enemies, keep making daft mistakes and throwing away any advantage we get

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Ponting still boring the tits off everyone. Nasser still a tongue looking for an Aussie ringpiece to rim.

 

[daventry cat]

Wtf was Stokes thinking of??

Not sure thinking is stokes area of expertise

 

[superhans1]

England 53% win. I don’t get it.

Maybe the model incorporates data from the 20th century, when pitches deteriorated a lot more.

I like your optimism but think that dropped catch will deflate england
Would have had the opposite affect and England would have had the upper hand after lunch if we had if took smiths wicket

 

[Silly Point]

No wonder the Aussies are taking the piss. Find it hard to defend our fuck ups throughout this series

 

[SAFC11]

The umpires should’ve reviewed it like. Heat of the moment he’s gone up

Umpire didn't think he closed it so wouldn't send it up to be checked for a clean catch

 

[Squat]

we were 222-3 and 332-4, they lost their last 5 wickets for 60 runs in the last test, so dont give up hope yet.

 

[SAFC11]

Once each innings Smith has been gifted a golden reprieve

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

Have to agree with the panel there. This series regardless of the result has been so enjoyable to watch. A few tweaks here and there and we could be towards the top of the WC rankings again.

Feels like they’ve won it because England have gifted it to them either through silly stupid schoolboy mistakes or poor selections. I’m not having that they’ve been better than us. So bloody frustrating.
