[wifler]

ROFL, that is one of the funniest things the Aussie team has rocked up with I reckon.

Apart from some of their batting

Nice one mate.
Well honestly, I will have to agree with you on that one.

The English batsmen may also get nervous facing Michael Clarke. Could Clarke repeat his 6/9 performance in India?

 

[wifler]

Off again? This is silly now.

i dont understand what the umpires are doing, offered light for spinners bowling?

No. Simple answer to that. England off for bad light again!

When Warne goes what will happen to the Australian side? Whats everyones opinions on this, e.g. is there anyone that can replace for the long term, i.e a promising youngster. (not Mcgill!)

You are kidding me... they are off to bad light again.

Laws:
If at any time the umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for play to take place, they shall immediately suspend play, or not allow play to commence or to restart.

How the hell is it unsafe with Warney and Clarke bowling?

Thing is the umpires have set themselves a standard now.

True, but answer this: How can the umpires deem it unsafe/dangerous to the batsmen when 2 spinners are at either end. Why are they even giving the batsmen an option to go off the ground? Why are they offering them light?

Fast bowlers = danger
Relatively simple, no?

 

[wifler]

They said they had a reading that they offered the aussies and they took it, so they are suing that reading for england too, and it its the same then they have the option to play spinners, then if another reading is worse than that, they have obviously decided they have to offer it as it could be 'dangerous' the point is they have a reading which is worse.

Exactly Brad, and as the commentators said: not once this series has Shane Warne bowled one over chest high. Not sure how Warney could injury a batsman anyway.

They should 'only' use that reading that the Aussies went off with for 'fast' bowlers. It shouldn't apply to spinners because it doesn't put the bastmen in danger.

Didnt seem to bother them this morning YES ?

Because we want to win... We were offered the light on account of it being dangerous, we declined. England however should not be offered the light as it is in no way dangerous, we have spinners bowling to try and make a game of it.
