    Re: First Ashes test, Edgbaston - Australia V England

    This is the worst umpiring performance since the 2009 Prelim.

      Another successful DRS review of a plainly wrong umpiring decision. Is there any possibility of replacing the umpires at this stage of a test? Or maybe they should take their blind dogs out with them and let the dogs make the decisions-they couldn't do any worse. Without DRS this match would have been over before lunch on the second day.

      WTF is wrong with these two? At the very least every decision should be reviewed in this test from here on in.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        Good century by Wade. Needs to go on with it now

          About time they played Wade as a specialist bat. Another good ton from him.

            Really timely from Wade, if we can just get the openers to fire we look to have a lineup that is pretty balanced.

                For how long do we want to bowl at them tonight? It's almost working out for us perfectly from a time vs. chase total where we can pretty much choose our own destiny now.

                England's position is all but bat for a draw, providing we keep it tight and the pressure up this evening.

                  19 overs left. Less 2 for the change over is 17. Maybe bat another 6-7 overs, hopefully at 4 an over to get us to 350-360. Then 10 overs tonight.

                    I'd like twelve so we can give a few different bowlers a turn, including Lion for two overs.

                      Tell these lads to go the tonk now. Another 20-25 would be ideal. They can do that in 2-3 overs easy.

                        How was there no appeal and no out decision? Crazy from England.

                          Just a cracking second innings total. I've had some technical issues I've not remedied in time to watch, but I'm sure the England wanker supporter set has been substantially quietened down by it which is fantastic.

                            Hit out or get out now. 360 is great.

                                Think it's 9 after the 2 for the change on innings. If light is fine for all 9.
