Wade's shot was inexcusable.  U14 stuff

150 runs short thanks to Wade and his dumb mates, we'll be batting to survive days 4 and 5.

And Paine was right about Blocker... That LBW no decision wasn't good.

I can see a declaration coming up tomorrow.  If, of course, we don't fall to pieces in the 2nd dig.

Distractions from an impending loss.  But great to see two Australian umpires out there again.

But I must be a racist

While there were some poor shots, Smith made it very clear that batting wasn’t all that easy.

The Indians didn’t fare too well with the bat either ... although poor running between the wickets and some very good fielding made a huge difference.

And there’s nothing like sustained, well-directed fast bowling to sort the sheep from the goats  :)

When was the last time two former Australian Test fast bowlers umpired a Test?  I reckon never!

The fix is in!

 :D

I think that they have done a pretty good job.  The only blemishes I’ve noted are allowing Payne to mouth off and not pulling Bumrah up for his petulant breaking of the stumps.  Stamp on that and everyone else will toe the line.  That said, all of the Tests seem to be played in a good spirit.

Jadeja has a broken and dislocated thumb - game over  :(

I have enjoyed watching him play.  He is a very talented and entertaining cricketer and I hope he makes a full recovery.

Yep he can really play in all areas of the game and I can never work out why he isnt a fixture in the Indian line up, got a few of their best out now and and its going to be a very weak lineup for the 4th test and I'd expect us to win both this and the next test.
Agree on Paine and Bumrah...I would have made the latter reassemble the stumps/bails and let his skipper know I wont tolerate a repeat.

Jadeja is India's version of Maxwell, probably the best all-round cricketer in India, but not loved by many officials and team-mates!
