OH yes forgot about that, happy days.
Ashes I - 2013 - In England
- Thread starter ghaliboy
- Start date
OH yes forgot about that, happy days.
Thank god this is back.
Aussies win the toss, sounds like Clarke was desperate to win and I think the only way the Aussies will win the match is by batting first and putting at least 350 on.
Phillip Hughes is Australia's highest scorer on this tour but can't keep his place.

I've seen that quoted virtually everywhere, no idea where it came from because its plain wrong.
Agar is Australia's top scorer this series, then Watson, then Clarke, then Rodgers, then Haddin then Hughes.
Hughes does have the 2nd highest average of Australia's 'batsmen' but he's also behind Pattinson, Agar and Khawaja in that respect.
I don't know either stat but I notice that the post you are quoting says "tour" but you said "series". Is that where the confusion is arising?
Possibly, but it's very convenient to include first class warm up matches for the purpose of padding Hughes' statistics.
Weird team. But WOOO can finally 'watch' now that Hughes has been dropped
I've broken the shower hoodoo!

should have reviewed the lbers and lost em both This is a farce when they take this long to overturn a decision that is quite clearly not out ...

Flicked his pad? What the feck? He never hit that.
How has that stayed out? basically everything showed it as him not hitting it??
This whole series is doing no favours for the argument for technology in sport
They have to bring Snicko in. The Umpires are making DRS seem more difficult than it is.
What's the point of drs if you're going to ignore the evidence?
It was in my mind when they were taking this long, they are going to give it out.
Another farcical decision in a series of pathetic umpiring.

Mental.. What is the point of DRS
They have hotspot but they don't use it, they have to get rid of that and get snicko in.
They'd probably ignore that too.
There's nothing wrong with DRS as a system, the usage of it by the Umpires has been appalling however.
so what does the third umpire actually use?
It says something when that is only the 2nd worst DRS based decision of the series!
Definitely a noise. Snicko not working properly due to the humid conditions which happens quite frequently in the sub continent due to the reverse polarity on the neutron flow.
Excellent decision.
Excellent decision.
Just fecking go up for everything
Smoked, that's rank Broad.
