The Ashes 2009

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Great work from the Pompires.

Katich gone off a no-ball and Strauss claims Hughes on the bounce.

 

[guppy]

Have to say that's pretty poor form from Strauss, especially given he is the captain. He wouldn't have been 100% certain that it carried so he shouldn't have said it did.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Hussey given out after an air swing.

3/4 dud decisions.

India would've be on a plane home by now, lol.

 

[gUt]

I sure wish Rudy would just FOAD already.

 

[lynx000]

Good fight back after the three dud calls. I wonder where we might have been without those.

 

[Major JW Hochstetter]

Geez, although still probably unlikely, on pure numbers we are actually half a chance now. Unbelievable. And you're right lynx, those dud calls now become crucial. It'd sting even more if we fell just short.

[Fozz]

Oh that is a shocker.

Hope Haddin, Clarke and Johnson can get the required runs. That would be sweet revenge.

Cheating fucking pommie pricks !!!!!

Rudy needs to retire now, he's way past it ..... same with Doctrove.

 

[Coxy]

Yep, quite clearly one of the most disgraceful bits of cheating in a long time. Strongest argument yet to allow the batsmen to challenge decisions.

 

[jarro65]

The worst part is that Doctrove reckons he saw it clearly carried to Strauss ..... from about 40 meters away !!!

FFS gimme a break

 

[gUt]

I get annoyed by the likes of Ian Chappel talking about how replays are almost always inconclusive and thus should not be used, including this one. The other commentators talk about how this was "controversial". Call a spade a fkn spade for once, it CLEARLY bounced into Strauss's cheating hands.

No - The worst part is that they reviewed a catch the day before when we claimed it, but didn't do so last night when it was clear for all to see there was some doubt. Where's the consistency???

 

[Bucking Beads]

Awesome batting by Clarkey and Haddin lets just hope they can get us over the line..... The umpires have been hopeless they were exactly the same in 2005 series.....

 

[gUt]

Rudi should have retired after he gunned Sangakara in Tasmania, caught off his helmet a few runs short of 200.

 

[Black Philip]

Wow... thats just f***ing ridiculous

 

[ningnangnong]

End game.

 

[The Brizz]

I am now depressed.
