<p>Im not sure if there is any factual evidence , but in most sports , opposition supporters swear by it , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I personally think there is a connection quite often with successful teams being able to push the boundaries of the law better than the rest , some will call it cheating </p> -

Gotta love Steve Smith.<br><br>
Even though the Aussies have proven their superiority in cricket today they don't win many admirers for sportsmanship.</p></blockquote>

How for so? -

There's Australias revenge for the Marsh fiasco. Absolute BULLSHIT and so hard on a bloke who deserves success.</p></blockquote>

It's so much worse then the Marsh fiasco because in this instance the correct decision has not been made, and in a tight test where runs are at a premium it has cost us dearly.</p></blockquote>
<br><blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="taniwharugby" data-cid="558332" data-time="1455254316"><p>
cant you review that?<br><br>
Surely it would only be revenge if Marsh was clearly not out, but given out...?</p></blockquote>
<br>
Aussies probably feel it's some sort of karma. But as has been pointed out the wrong decision was made. Unlike Monday.<br><br>
It could have been reviewed i reckon. But who of the nzers would be looking at the front foot to risk wasting s review.<br><br>
Suggest in a situation where a wicket goes down off a no ball it shoul autoatically be reviewed by the third ump. Failure in process imo.<br><br>
English umpires are the best in the world apparently. How the fuck he thought that was a no ball defies belief.<br><br>
Can't even get angry at Voges who unlike Marsh had no idea he wasn't not out. -
Yeah with no replays, the player on field will have had no idea it was a poor call.

Because cheating fucking dirty fucking AUSSIE fucking Australians, that's how!</p></blockquote>
<br>
Well that's to be expected though. Did he sook again like the other night?<br><br>
Back to the no ball and the concept of being able to change your shot. Won't comment on the ability to do so in the reaction time. But if i was going to change my shot on a call of "no ball" am not sure I'd change it to a leave... -
<p>you could try <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.theaccnz.com/'>Theacc....</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>or just listen on the PC, which is working?</p>

Not a single thing has gone right for us this test, from losing the toss, to poor shot selection in the top order, to drop catches, to dodgy umpiring. It's been a fucking disaster.
-
<p>Jeez I love Usman Khawaja. Don't think I've seen such a dominant summer, he just never looks like getting out. And such a strong bottom hand...</p>

<p>Yeah - it's looking like an absolute shellacking. Oz already 55 ahead, still 7 wickets standing. They'd be a bit disappointed if they end up only leading by 250 on the first innings.</p> -

<p>The Waj is in the form of his life, and nearly anyone else's while we're at it. This is his fourth first-innings century in a row, and his first overseas. Takes some doing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Need to bat to 550 (seems to be Smith's magic number) but we're yet to bowl an evening session at this point, so not sure what Smith will do there.</p> -

<p>Whaaaaat da fuck ? he's a god damn bona fide comic genius !</p> -
You'd think they'd bat out to get a lead by 400+ and back themselves to bowl NZ out again tomorrow or early Monday

<p>Having not seen the wicket perform this morning, I'm only going off what cricinfo are saying. And that sums up as "not much". Boult got a bit of swing, but our only noted swing bowler is Jackson Bird and he's having a 'mare.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So putting NZ back in first thing tomorrow - who will have learned their lessons about chasing leather with bat AND ball - is asking for trouble.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bat today and most of tomorrow if possible. Put NZ in late on Day 3, for a short-sharp attack at the top order. Then use morning conditions on Day 4 to try and get into the middle before attrition takes care of the tail.</p>
