    Well that's what they have said on telly, but they would ever go against whatvumpures say really . But mo doubt he was going to throw the ball up. It is highly subjective, sometimes a slip especially will throw the ball behind himself when still on the move, and it's out. Maybe that will change.

    But series done anyway. Far too many dropped catches at Edgbaston and Lords. Since then England have been the better side, but you can't let a good side off the hook so often and not pay the price.

    The thing is with the catch, is he has held onto longer than those that catch at slip and immediately throw it into the air. But I think he knew he blew it himself

    Yep he did. But it's a fine line, and we'll see a change in that sort of thing now.

    Irrelevant anyway with this rain!

    Agree re Smith. The ball is touching the grass. It was 100% not out

    If we get say 30 overs in max the Aussies will need to score at around 5. I reckon they will go for it unless they lose wickets early then dig in.

    He should have done the Australian thing and ran about celebrating then look disdainfully at anyone who thought it was not out

    If they get 50 overs in Australia should coast this. Spinners both leaka lot of runs and only three seamers effectively Less than three an over.

    Massive not getting Smith out before lunch.

    You need to be a bit more hopeful mate. We haven't won yet I know but cricket is all about momentum. It changes quick.

    The issue is, the ones going past the edge are far too good to bowl at a lower order batsman!!
