1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[Stowford Mess]

I think it was the right call tbh. It was touch and go either way and would have been a very big call to bring Head back and call it a no-ball.

“Clear evidence” to overturn needed.

I missed the end of it, what was said that made Gower say 'that makes it clear then'

Side on camera view

 

[Starfighter]

Where the bleeding hell is Woakes? And why isn't this being mentioned?

 

[Burgey]

He will stand and bang

Well, what he does in his own time is a matter for him, mate.

 

[Prince EWS]

I missed the end of it, what was said that made Gower say 'that makes it clear then'

His reluctance to have their boffins dig through and point out how many no ball wickets have been let sail through on Sky the past few years.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Denly has looked dangerous at times but he's actually been pretty good for us here. too many loose balls.

 

[mr_mister]

I'd want my ton before lunch if I was smudge

Normal legspin, you could say.

It's a stupid law anyway. Should be the same as the front foot rule. It's too hard for an umpire to see with the bowler's body in the way.

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

Definitely need Denly bowling one end against the new batsman...

 

[Lillian Thomson]

It’s a fairly typical spell from a part time bowler. Lots of junk.

 

[Prince EWS]

Denly blushing.

 

[Spark]

Even if it is a no ball I think it's actually kind of unreasonable to expect umpires to be able to spot it reliably at all

 

[Son Of Coco]

Would three fence palings be a better keeper than Barstool? Discuss.

Oh live definitely, but they did send it upstairs to check for front and back foot no balls.

It's perfectly fine, especially if you understand how it worked with the back foot rule. No need to artificially make the crease wider, when it's already been widened once.

 

[lordscc]

Denly is pretty decent leggie. Moeen has been awful all 2nd innings with the ball.

 

[trundler]

This is why you pick your best players and not bits and pieces players because of some stupid idea of utility.

 

[TheJediBrah]

**** you can tell Wade is in good touch. Would be a different story against Anderson and Broad though

You're a strange man. That catch off Stokes was very very good and he's saved dozens of byes because of how wide Stokes bowls.
