The Ashes 2023

metaphorically speaking obviously. usually home town decisions come about not because the refs or umpires are under actual threat, but just the general atmosphere in the ground. its a well known phenomenon, not sure why you are questioning it, its a standard thing.

Except there was no atmosphere. Nobody in the crowd was questioning it at all.

I actually think it was a bad decision, but the idea it was “home field” influenced is proper mental.

McGrath has already suggested it is.

England have the best of the conditions and now they are getting the best of the rules.

he had full control of that

very harsh to reverse the decision

Correct decision was made

 

[Walken]

Starc can moan all he wants, don't use the ball as a balancing aid when taking a catch. It's pretty basic

 

[Rita_Poon]

How are you calling that idiocy it’s an unreal ball…

[Walken]

It's a terrible decision, the catch was complete. And I would say the same if it was say Anderson catching Smith.

Potentially wanted to keep the interest going for a bit tomorrow.

Absolutely shocking stuff and I say that as an England supporter.

Sounds realistic to me

You don't use the ball to balance, it's poor after doing everything else really well. He can blame himself

Have to agree tbh. Thought it was out and a bad decision.
