Woods is always doing some wacky shenanigans with his run up. Very unsportsmanlike imo.

From TMS - Mitchell Johnson has conceded 100 runs for the 21st time in Tests - the 2nd most by any Australian behind Shane Warne

He does that weird hop thing at the start of his run up, but since he's been on the TV to be seen doing it he has always done it so no doubt he has always done it.

Has it been discussed in this thread how India are touring Australia again at the start of next year for five pointless ODIs and three pointless t20s. :geno:

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Genuinely surprised Rogers and Warner both survived to lunch, was honestly expecting one of them to nick it behind or something stupid

Surely to goodness if you tour you play Test Matches.

Fair enough, get the ODI and T20 shite in there as well, but the primary reason to tour is to play Test Match Cricket.

He looked handy against us. He's sharp enough and with the way he maximises his height and hits the seam I reckon he might do well touring Aus.

Even live that looked wide, and with the angle of outswing to a lefty an LBW is always kinda unlikely

Its to encourage attacking cricket. Otherwise why wouldn't bowlers (in particular lefthanded bowlers) just angle everything as wide as possible to try and hit the batsman in line with leg stump every ball.

He is a bad umpire. Possibly the worst on the elite panel. He made an excellent call on a Lyon LBW yesterday but that was awful. I think its probably doubtful the ball would have hit the offstump even.
