They were gutsy. That Noah Bolta has a bit to like.

Footy Fix: The Tigers aren't any good... but you have to admire their Phar Lap-sized hearts

Really. So who appealed against the umpires decision?

'Technology curse': Pakistan director slams 'inconsistent' umpiring after contentious DRS call cruels hopes of famous win

I agree with him. DRS is killing cricket. Those who think otherwise will gladly watch robots perform for their entertainment.

He’s been so good our Mr Lyon. Easily the best offie I’ve seen in 50 years. Sure Warne was more exciting but to be 2nd to the great man is nothing to sneeze about. Cummins doesn’t have much faith in the next in line that’s for sure.

Lyon could overtake Warne: Cummins can see GOAT rivalling spin king's tally by playing 'another four or five years'

Getting a bit esoteric there rowdy. 😉

COMMENT: David Warner defied his critics - but he didn't prove them wrong

It’s one thing nominating your retirement and all that.
But I think there would be more than an ounce of poetic justice if Cam Bancroft replaced him before series end.
Can someone please pass me the gavel.

COMMENT: David Warner defied his critics - but he didn't prove them wrong

I know right. It’s like he’s Nostradamus or something.

COMMENT: David Warner defied his critics - but he didn't prove them wrong

This Warner thing is misleading. It’s not just about him or the little dirty corner that is sandpaper.
This team is old and boring. It’d be ace to see this team with a new opening bat and bowler. I’d love to see Morris run in
And right now.

Spot on. Junction oval. No admission charge. Cheap ????, BBQs, no plastic seats
I’ll pass thru for a few hours

Absent Sheffield Shield Crowds: Quality players, quality cricket, potential future stars of the game...but where is everyone?

Imagine Faulkner for Starc or Stoinis. What happened to him?

The Australian line-up that can win the Cricket World Cup … if the selectors make the right calls

He’s become integral to Australia white ball cricket. It’s a mystery to me why that doesn’t transfer to red ball test cricket.

Zenzational Zampa! Leggie's all-round performance for the ages officially ends Poms' WC defence in tense Aussie win

Well he did cost the game in this instance. 0 instead of 30 plus and dropping one of the best bats this century. It’s a massive fail. Happy to applaud his achievements and same with his fails.
This was a huge fail.

Where’s the young blood

Yes Marsh had a horrible game. What irks me is the same old names. This is such a tired and old looking team.
The selectors need to throw 3 young players in and fast.

You’re right. There’s 3 cricket world cups now. It’s almost like boxing.. IBF, WBA etc… just who is the world champion.

Widest of margins! Black Caps get revenge on England as records tumble: 'We're not robots, sometimes you don't play well'

It is an issue. No doubt. Anyone who knows the game could see both the condition and the performance of the replacement ball. Both sides try it on. So I’m not kidding myself. It’s obviously something that the ICC need to look at.

It was a terrific little cameo by Murphy and would go a long way enabling the trust of Cummins. Considering it was day one and all. Hopefully he gets a bigger look in the 2nd dig.

'Be brave and also be smart': Murphy takes his turn with impressive display as Starc, Moeen battle injuries

Starc is an enigma, wrapped in…(you know the rest). Seriously brilliant and appalling in the same over. I’ve never cursed or cheered the one person ever. God bless him. He makes it interesting.

But green played the 4th. The pundits were begging for Neser in the 3rd. No one stumped for Marsh only the selectors.

Ashes Fifth Test teams: Better late than Neser, Murphy in the mix, Warner looks safe again, Anderson under pressure

I don’t agree with Gordon. The selection of Marsh for the 3rd test was bold and paid of handsomely.

I enjoyed this article too. And totally agree with the view that test cricket wastes time.
For mine it’s 2-2 heading into the 5th. Much to play for if you have any pride.

Northern View: It's not whingeing if it's true - this Ashes anti-climax was completely avoidable

Gee. People are quick to jump on you when you’re down. Cummins hasn’t had a good test at all. But me thinks the spotlight should be on Warner. Bairstow has responded well to criticism and good on him. Whilst Warner continues his poor showing.
It is the difference.

UK View: Aussie alpha Cummins 'ruthlessly bossed', 'bereft of ideas' and waiting for rain to 'deliver them from torture'

But have no concerns carrying Warner. I’d like to see a spinner and Green is very lucky to get a cap.

Aussies adopt defensive mindset after making changes for fourth Test - but Warner gets stay of execution

It’s player power ok! Once upon a time Khawaja would be fined for commenting on selection. So he should be. The selectors name the team not vice versa.
If anyone can remember poor old Wayne Phillips, the Victorian opener. He was selected to replace Geoff Marsh and was treated like a pariah through no fault of his own. His career suffered and within a few years he disappeared from 1st class ranks even.
No wonder Warner’s potential replacements are talking him up.
