Its always easy in hindsight. I doubt many would have thought Pakistan getting skittled for 148 for starters. Can understand why you'd chalk up some quick runs to make the game "safe" rather than enforcing the follow on given 2 days to play too.Rookie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 11:38 amOk i will eat humble pieBomber wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 8:59 amAssuming we declare before lunch day 4, there should be plenty time to bowl them out on a deteriorating wicket.

Re: Pakistan v australia
How funny was the south african celebrating the review only to see that that the bloke middled it.
Still seeing some aussies whingeing about it on social media.

How funny was the south african claiming a catch that bounced 3m in front of him?

Re: Pakistan v australia
Smith's dropped catch (late day 4) and couple DRS decisions that would have been out if the ump raised the finger could have assisted in a win, but impressed with Pakistan's fightback. Babar a great knock. Down to the deciding test.

Re: Pakistan v australia
That's the issue with umpire's call and home umpires. Didn't seem to be an issue for the locals in the last ashes series though.

Yeh agree, even Uzzy dropped an absolute dolly with about 3 or 4 overs to go, let's hope the next pitch has some more juice in it

In this instance, YES. Observation is one thing, complaining about it is another, therefore no bias or hypocrisy.

When did I complain about it, I just made the observation?
For a nation who lead the way at whingeing it always amazes me that you don't know what it is.

Re: Pakistan v australia
One decision in a 5 test series, where we won 4-0 (almost 5-0). So your single "observation" either wasn't that obvious to be relevant, or was perhaps just a whinge, given the "cheating/incompetent" use of language. Which was it?God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 11:02 amI believe there may have been one decision that I said they were "either cheating or incompetent".Bomber wrote: ↑Fri Mar 18, 2022 8:50 amDid you ever refer to the "cheating" Aussie umpires at any stage during the last ashes?God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Thu Mar 17, 2022 2:51 pm When did I complain about it, I just made the observation?

Does appear that 50/50 decisions have gone one way. How many reviews have been umpires call in Australia's favour? Day 2 Adelaide saw the umpires keep the team on the field when it was raining and there was lightning which left England another wicket down.
Australia have had shield cricket, didn't have quarantine and didn't have their warm up games interrupted by weather.
But, to your question, no real bearing on the results.

No, it's very wrong and needs to be stopped.
The robot was a mid wicket.
