That’s a rubbish review. This third umpire is unbelievably bad as well.
Think the DRS Ump was wrong anyway - looked like an inside edge all day long

Thanks Sherlock.
I’m surprised Woakes was brought back here, bowling at least 1 loose ball an over.

That’s going down leg.
Clipping leg, not sure about that

Same here. Look where it pitches. HawkEye claiming it would straighten. Curran arms the ball across. Any movement would take it down leg. Unless the technology thinks he's bowling off cutters for some insane reason.

Smith passed 50 so another century on its way.

Do you not think it was straightening due to a touch of swing?
I wasn't watching, but did it look like a c***?

You have to say the Aussies have been quite unfortunate today

I thought he ran across on that one rather than down. It didn't seem to swing before pitching.

strong and stable with me, or...
Now in and amongst all the plaudits, how lucky is this guy? Nothing drops to fielders, plays and misses. Did he sell his soul after his ban!!??
There have been far better balls got batsmen out this series than the ones Smith is going numerous chances away from.

Watching Curran you have to question why the hell Overton was selected in the last test?

Why has Curran not featured since now? Might have saved us the Ashes!

I did think the same. The left arm option is so useful on the shores. He swings it more than Starc for example. If anyone could unsettle Smith, or trap in front, it's him.
His main problem is over pitching. Can get expensive.
