Cricket Australia saying that the short turnaround is "not in his favour". 

I wouldn't be taking that as truth.

No. He will be assessed. I still have a feeling it is his arm and the concussion bit was just so they could use a concussion sub. The Aussies went into deep explanation about how players don't show concussion on the day but the next morning. Benefit of the doubt I suppose, but something smells fishy to me. 

This is clearly nonsense.   A guy who went back out to bat after a head blow is not going to be concerned about a bruised arm.

I suppose a comparable situation would be Mo Salah's concussion which ruled him out of the Barca game a few days later.

He was hit in the neck, not the head, and showed no signs of concussion on the pitch. It was his decision to bat again and from I remember he hit a few sweet boundaries straight away, so nothing wrong with his eyes. Plus how do you know how is arm was feeling? It was heavily strapped and bruised after the ball had hit him. Maybe's he woke up this morning and that was the main problem.

He didn’t have the extra padding did he? Apologies if i’m mistaken.

He showed signs of concussion when he was lbw offering no shot, then walked and reviewed at the same time.  He was quite obviously in la la land.  But yeah, it's his sore arm.

Are you on about the neck padding? Is so, then he didn't.

In your opinion. Strange how concussion only works when you want it to. What about all the shots he was playing before he was LBW? Forget it though. Debating with you when you are in one of your petulant moods is a waste of time. Enjoy your day. 

[TheBitch]

I think we should get about 250 then bowl at their heads for the win.

Which means he should not have been allowed to come out at all.

It will probably be discussed at some point.

So what's considered a safe declaration score ?

Get the lead to 250 asap and then put them in. The required rate would be about 5.5 and we’d have about 45 overs to have a go and see what happens.

[Brownie]

Buttler out due to shithouse bowling.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

It was always going to happen after recent discussions. 

[Rico1304]

My immediate thought was a broken arm.  Wouldn’t surprise me.

Could well be the case but just to add.

 

I was in an accident just on a month ago in work. Got hit by a falling object on the back of the head and neck. Never felt quite right after it but after the initial shock it was nothing more than aches and pains really so just got on with it. Last week it hit me out of nowhere and I was sent home home and told I cant return until I seek medical attention. I did and have been told I have post concussion syndrome and have been signed off until next week.

 

I'm not to bad when I'm basically doing fuck all but as soon as I start to do something that involves moving about for long periods of time I'm fucked again. It's not helping that I'm climbing the fuclking walls with boredom.

[Brownie]

State of the Aussie reaction there! It was clearly not out yet you can hear them saying “the ball spun!”

 

No it didn’t!

Yeah, like I said, it was just a feeling I have. I could be way off the mark. Only Smith and their physios/doctors will know the full extent of both injuries. I've also walked about for three days with a double tibia head fracture. Just thought i'd twisted my knee, obvious discomfort and it was only the next morning that the pain and lack of movement kicked in but never dawned on me that i had a double fracture. Adrenalin is a weird thing at times. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Nasty short ball nearly hit Johnny in the head, the utter shit houses. 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

70’s Aussie teams and all the great Windies teams of the golden era full of utter shithousery. Ten of the Queens runs!

[Guest Pistonbroke]

I think we may be going for it now to set a 250 chase of there about.

Wow.  You are one tough SOB.

[Brownie]

Having more of a go now. Ten more overs of batting for me (Root will be a lot more cautious than me).

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Stokes going after, Lyon. Hope he gets a deserved century.
