Would have loved that bat to lodge firmly between Carey's front teeth.

It’s that **** labuschagne who needs that kind of treatment

Stokes going down fighting here

That catch wasn't letter of the law. If you've played cricket, even as a kid at school, you touch the ground with the ball getting up and it's not out. Anyone whose ever played cricket knows it. Cheating bastards.

like catching the ball that hits a wall only one handed allowed

I don’t see it any different to mankading, yes it’s technically aloud but it isn’t in the spirit of the game. Absolute wankers

Broad giving anyone in earshot some stick.

Shame it’s not the Edgbaston crowd. The fuckers in the striped blazers will applaud the Aussies off

Broad absolutely fuming. Tbh it’s good to see a bit of fight from England

It was decided by the third umpire so by the letter of the law. Hundreds of similar catches would have been taken up and down the country yesterday, but in those there is no recourse for a review.

Fairly. Based on the previous Test, the only result we have so far, it's a fairly even contest; even this one has the potential to go late into Day 5 (or perhaps not). This Test has been highly peculiar in that Australia's tactics changed completely when they lost Lyon, and England's batsmen then behaved like lemmings in the first innings. I think Australia are the better side (in all departments) but that England's selection/loyalty has unnecessarily conceded the advantage.

You still think we're evenly matched? No way would any England player think to do that. If they did, they'd be lauded on here. The Aussies have the mentality of doing what it takes to win, whether you want to call it smart/cheating/whatever. Plus, they're simply a better team than us. Better batsmen, better bowlers, better game management. It sucks.
