The 3rd Umpire helps resolve the doubt in decisions and that’s how it should be used - if an Umpire is unsure, refer it and allow a second set of eyes over it, but don’t cloud it by suggesting that you’re not sure, but I think it might be a particular outcome

The decision in this particular case was the right one, but that doesnt mean that its being used as it should.

England given up after winning ODI series. Should I give the Aussies any credit? Probably, given 5 wickets before 10 runs is pretty unbelievable

England losing 5 Wickets in 8 overs. The worst possible start to an innings in adelaide.

Nice fightback though. Woakes doing well!

England fought back from 5-8 (the lowest ODI score after losing first five wickets, previous low was 5-17) to be all out for 196 after 44.5 overs. Australia has five extra overs to chase 197 to win, but it will not be easy.

Edit: my prediction was right: Australia won the match with 13 overs to spare but with only three wickets left. Only Travis Head’s 96 held the innings together.

too lazy to do a proper cap… but live cricket on NBCSN…

Optus Stadium looks really good. Checking it out on TV now.

Reminds me of the Gabba a bit, but bigger.

I get that too, but the roof looks Gabba like?

The players and commentators reckon it has a real MCG feel to it and just watching the ODI makes me think it’s at the G

When did players comment? Was there an interview in a newspaper or on TV was there?

The commentators mentioned that in the broadcast and Mitch Marsh said that in his behind the scenes video on Youtube.

Of course I’d have seen that!

The square boundaries are too long and the straight boundaries are too short. Odd dimensions.
