Oh well bowled...

Is cricket now a sport again, in Australia?

I was lead to believe it was no longer followed, down under.

Aussies get given a ball replacement again! Suddenly more bounce and movement. It's about time they stopped changing the ball. If it goes out of shape tough only change if it falls apart. Even then it's got to be a ball that has been used for 80 overs, that'll stop the "legal" cheating.

Cummins has the replacement ball hooping of course.

Nice umpiring Massive inside edge.

This third umpire has to be blind, that’s a massive inside edge. Unbelievable he wasn’t going to over turn that.

Fantastic atmosphere, wish I was there (in my north pole jacket and long johns). That so hit the bat first, load of old bollocks.

The cheats whine whinge and constantly bleat on whenever the ball goes soft and the old duffers always give in to them.

Who’s the third umpire Stevie f**king wonder? That was astonishing there would have been an absolute riot had he given that out. There really has been some shocking umpiring in this series and quite honestly that takes the piss, how you can watch that in slo mo and not see the inside edge? Absolute insanity, it’s not even an inside edge he’s middled it into his pads

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Why are players allowed to have towels tucked in their trousers? The only towel should be held by the old codgers. Like to see the close up again of the towel rubbing!

 

[The Wizard]

The way Steve Smith reacted after having that ball changed, unbelievable. Disgraceful rule.

Here comes Lyon with his dodgy towel

Love someone to smack the ball straight into Lyon's bollocks.

Change a 60 over old ball for a ball that looks almost brand new? Batting team soften up the ball and then the opposition get it changed. It’s an insane rule when you think about it.

 

[Razzoo]

We can do this, KTF

They are supposedly give out a similar ball, never the case though. As I posted above it should be an older ball but not out of shape.

When England tried it they pushed the ball through the gauge with the cheats they balanced the seam on the top.
