Bell & Anderson stuffing that catch just summed up the state of mind of the POM's at the moment. That was a sitter. Not that it will matter….

BOOM BABY BOOM 28 off one over , dropped catches, This test has the lot, poms are packing up ready to go home, lucky for them its not Pakistan
nowhere to run nowhere to hide, dirty great big plumbers crack running down the middle of the pitch.
It could get very dangerous out there if they start hitting the cracks
The whole walking thing is crap.
In my 25 plus years of playing competitive cricket I have never walked. I have been on the wrong end of that many shocking umpiring decisions that I take the good with the bad and even then the odd one or two that go in your favour never make up for all the bad calls that don't.
And this pre-occupation with checking no balls after a wicket.....WTF? Total rubbish. The umpire should be paying attention to every ball and they are not. I have seen a number of replays of balls bowled (Australian and English) that were no balls during an innings that were never called. It promotes lazy umpiring. I say ban checking for no balls unless referred by a batsman.
I'd be curious to know whether the average number of no balls called in a game has changed. I'd be willing to bet it has decreased on average and we have the referrals to blame because the umpires just don't bother watching the front foot any more.
Ooooh oh, 3 for 85.
@ Drewboy where did you play cricket I played for Aberfeldie Park for many years
