I really wanted Leach to end with 0. Just to always be known as the person who hit the greatest ever ZERO.
SPOTY done and dusted. Shouldn’t be a knighthood yet though imo. Save them for the end of a players career.

Got more chance of understanding how var worksðŸ˜You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. All of the side that are out are in the field, and only 2 men from the side that are in are out in the field. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out.
When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

You mean I'm in & you're out?
I was out, saw my opportunity, and immediately came in. I then saw that you'd already been in, leaving me no option other than to go out.
Well played sir!

Sorry Kellfire, you've used all your reviews.

Costly. Like using one for an LBW that clearly pitched outside leg.

Thanks, didn't know they changed ends every over, next questions - so how many overs can a bowler bowl in a row in test cricket?
Also did the umpire bottle that lbw at the death, anyone honestly think he should have been out?

Stokes was plumb LBW - only thing that can explain the decision is there was a lot of movement of the feet and the umpire thought it clipped his front pad first ( which was outside the line )
It was a poor decision but it was as bad as the Aus review of the one that was going down leg from Cummins.
England certainly got the rub of the green during the last hour

A bowler can at most only bowl every alternate over. But they can keep going for as long as they or the captain decide - without limit. But pace bowlers tend only to do a few at a time - it's rather tiring!

Poor decision by the umpire bit it's the same as a bad decision by a ref in footy.
If they hadn't wasted a review on the lbw shout on Leach a few minutes earlier they'd have won.
He should have been given out but, with no reviews left, it's the umpires decision being final.

Highlight for me wAs Lyon missing that runout..... What would Steve Waugh..have said😂

As has been said they could do EVERY alternate over by the rules. Limited over cricket has limited overs allowed by each bowler.
I guess the umpire might have bottled it or wasn't 100% sure. If the Aussies hadn't wasted a review then they'd have won the match and the Ashes...shame ;-)
That was the first big decision as it gave them no reviews to play with but you still expect the umpires to get it right. The standard of umpiring in this series has been consistently poor. Second was the Lyon fumble. So much time to collect the ball and win the game. Have to be honest and say once Broad had gone I thought game over but what an innings. Definitely swings the momentum. Is Smith due back for the next one?

The umpires have got 20+ getting on for 30 decisions wrong in this series, thats exactly why you dont burn your last review on a desperation hopeful one with your last review with 1 wicket needed in the match! Paines use of the review system been almost as bad as the umpiring!
Yes Smith will return for the 4th test
