@Damo well it was Erasmus...
I think the commentator was just about suggesting that it should have been given out.
FFS. If the stumps had one less coat of varnish the prediction would have been that it would have missed.

I am shocked he actually turned down an Australian appeal.

@Damo fuck scoring, bat for time...something usually alien to BCs batsmen though.
Need to do both, batting time and not scoring runs does nothing useful this early.
-
Pitch is dodgy as fuck already. If this goes 5 days it might actually get called off.
-
Not really dangerous though. Hard to see it being called off unless the balls are rearing up dangerously. There was one ball that bounced more than the batsman expected - though in itself it wasn't hostile bounce.
Of course if Aussie are battling to save the test on day 5 then the calculus changes.

Did you see Cummins' second ball to Blundell?

Yes I did. That is the one I refered to in my post.
That is the only ball that could be described as dangerous. The previous ball kept low. That one didn't. It was not a ball that reared up dangerously, it just bounced more than the previous ball did.

@taniwharugby agree that the first order is to not get out, especially not to dumb shots, but unless it is day 5 and very unlikely to win, we still need runs to make a contest of it. Otherwise we are just losing slower.

I feel for the good of the country 3 days of rain over all of aussie would be great.
