GOAT getting some real turn. Nearly a Warne moment with that first delivery.

How good is this commentary compared to the idiots we have in Australia

I like to imagine Matthew Wade at mid-off yelling out Nice Garry, then turning and sadly sighing…

everyone thought it was going down leg, including the Aussies

These two shouldn’t get another match this series. They have been absolutely woeful.

So Paines glovework has given him confidence in other parts of his game.
Rule out batting
Rule out reviewing
What’s left?

Tepid response by the Aussies there. Fortune favours the brave and Paine ain’t.

Lyon knew it was out

The problem with the review system is that it gives the umpire an easy out when they miss a wicket and not reviewed. And when a review is overturned, because the correct decision is made, no one has a go at the incorrect decision.

Time to just have robots and get rid of these muppets.

“Aussie”. Singular. Paine

then he should have argued with Paine

Paine put in the big appeal but didn’t have the courage of his convictions.

Thought it was out at first glance, was definitely Lyons call as he had the best view, didn’t appear like he wanted Paine to review, Lyons fault not Paine’s.

Come on. If the 'keeper says “going down leg” and as quickly as he did, the doubt has been put into the bowlers head and he won’t challenge, especially if the 'keeper is the captain.
Had another position been captain then each of the 'keeper and bowler could stake their case.

Then Lyon wasn’t so certain afterall. Bowler can see it better than the keeper who is following the line of the ball. He can’t see where it hit. You can’t blame Paine and not blame GOAT, he should have been more adamant to the captain, regardless.
