India v Aus

NTA

We have just seen an umpire review for a stumping where the Aussies also appeared to appeal for a caught behind which was turned down. Part of the review process was to look at the front view to see if there was an edge. In effect, the Aussies just got a free review for the edge. Unless there is something that has escaped me, I cannot see any reason why the front view is necessary for a stumping.

I agree that the front view is not required for a stumping.

I think it is one of those weird cricket things where you don't have to state what the appeal or review is for - the umpires just go through every option

India in trouble here.

Lyon bowling brilliantly

And then their tail remembers how to bat. Hilarious.

6 down for -95 and suddenly they're going to take a first innings lead. FFS...

Advantage Australia again as Head is going full Bazball.

Warner: try not to get out and protect my batting average

Head: fucking up this guy's bowling average is my jam

Counter-counter point: there were some terrible shots in that innings I might add. Sure that ball kept low, but why was he playing it off the back foot like that, KNOWING it would be shit?

This could be an exciting finish.

A lot of runs still to get.

Can't help agree with Waugh - this is a very strange field setting - you need to be attacking to take wickets surely.

I’m surprised Sportsbet did post their odds on “a sweep” in that tweet…

Clean sweep pays 5:2

Watched the highlights of Aussie 2nd innings. Some shot selection poor but the pitch was a joke. Basically cheating imho.

Indians didn't make the Australian batsmen throw their wickets away.
