Ball is at least 1 inch away from the bat blind umpire.

If this happened against England you will see the England commentators crying and would see their whole team outside the umpires room

How I miss Ricky Ponting he would have made a really big issue out of it this Australia team is so soft. Need some aggression to umpires so they won't be making these howlers. Australia just been taking all these decisions on the chin and getting on with it but when it continues to happen you need to make a stand and that's where someone like Ponting would be useful. Umpires think they can keep getting away with it to make ECB happy

This.
Time for CA to stand up.

Also Prior needs to get a warning for over appealing.

I know this ain't the Australian team we all know. How can you let such blatant cheating get away every time. Even I hate Ponting if he was their you wouldn't seen such howlers be made against Australia everyone now know this Australia team are so soft. Someone needs to come from the Australia camp and make a stand its happened all series. I was surprised no one stood up after the previous test this was bound to happen and has made this series one sided.

I can swear on my life that I do not care about this racism accusations.

But I despise this attitude from some of the English posters on the forum that the current England team is the best team of all time

Apart from a bit of banter from malakian, care to share the evidence of this supposed attitude? Link us to posts and threads. Thanks.

Yeah, he would have made a massive sook and lost control, thereby rattling his own team. c.f. Gary 'MLB shortstop' Pratt.

Generally you Aussies don't seem to care that much, you just get on with. I was addressing the legions of outraged PPers on this thread who are claiming that England are paying off the umpires.

We get our share of bad decisions just like everyone else.

Looks like someone's happy Rick Ponting ain't their. Enjoy this as much as you can because England are only good at home where umpires favour them. We all see the real England cricket team when they play out of England

Yeah.
Normally I'm happy to just grit my teeth and deal with the decisions (after 15 minutes raging on the internet).

That decision was completely ridiculous though and I am hoping that CA asks for clarification.
There are bad decisions and there there are those kind of decisions.
It's also pretty annoying given how Smith's catch was overtuned last test.

Naww, you're really nice James.

The attitude about "Englund bist teem" is only from Malakian. Although Robert occasionally acts like a butthurt sod. For example claiming that Imran Khan purposefully inflated his average by deliberately staying not out.

But I really don't want to bring up that thread right now

It was a bad decision I agree. But I think it's due to incompetence rather than biased umpiring.

We don't think England are the best team of any kind.
 
Swanny v Michael Bradman should be a good battle
 
Another couple of quick wickets & Australia will be in serious trouble again.

Well played Rogers btw, class batsman.
 
Smith coming in ahead of Warner? Lolz. Warner nearly hit a double ton last week, get him at the crease.
 
I cannot believe how juvenile a few PK posters are .On the Khwaja thread, they are cribbing about how the evil BCCI under some grand conspiracy has got Dharamsena inducted on the elite umpire's panel :facepalm:

133 for 3 & Bress is the best pacer today imo .
 
50 for Michael Bradman. Double ton anyone?
 
Swanny turning it on. The revs counter getting a real work over.
 
Not happy with ex-Pak players helping other countries, e.g. Mushy-England and Saqlain-Bangladesh
 
Ball is not swinging and the "best test bowler" slapped off the front foot to mid wicket by errr Steve Smith
 
Am I the only one who checks the team's "ODI score" after 50 overs?

And yet, you did anyway.

You Imranistas are the butthurt, not I. Don't you find 1 not out in four innings, rising to 1 in 3 over the fabled last decade a tiny bit suspicious?

Nobody gets that many not outs. Kapil's figure was 1 in 12. He was a true team man, always looking to score runs for India, hitting out before he got stranded instead of hunting the red ink.
 
WTH are all these sounds when the ball is somewhere around the bat??

Trust me, I really don't want to get into this discussion.

Let us enjoy the cricket and the bad DRS decisions

Such as the 3-1 victory in Australia and the 2-1 victory in India?


ENG must be taking pet umpires on tour with them.
