This may be a massive overreaction/oversimplification but umpires these days just give all sorts of **** out LBW huh

Will Young doesn't seem to play across his front pad anymore. Judged on this series and India series. Very parallel to the ball.
His strike rate is quite slow compared to his FC record previously. Obviously, increase in bowling quality at test level explains much, but also I wonder if he has made those adjustments and cut off some of his normal scoring shots that he used at FC level. Not criticism.
(Akso, being an opener and leaving the ball more ...)

**** I loved that original post. We should probably add it to the list of CW memes.

Over reaction. Depending on what you mean by these days, of course. And therefore what are those days.
Watch some old tests on YouTube prior to DRS, it was all over the place re: LBWs.

There are at least some pohutakawa seedlings at Bay Oval at top of banks.
Hagley seem to think they've already reached their ideal finished product.
Both look awful places to spend 7 hours. But Mount will improve.

Well yeah, in the old days it seemed to be all about ‘rules of thumb’. Balls knocking out middle weren’t given because the batsman ‘got a stride in’ whereas balls going 6 inches over the top were routinely given if a shot wasn’t played or the batsman was caught on the back foot.
These days there seems to be a lot more educated guessing on ones which seem to be obviously marginal whereas I reckon in the past they would’ve been mostly given not out. But then benefit of the doubt isn’t really a real thing right? So maybe the modern way is more accurate.

That's good to hear, although it will take years for them to grow. Would have preferred them to drop something in that's fast-growing.
Totally agree in regard to the Bay and Hagley. Can't beat the Basin can you - has it all.

Good point, think he is very conscious of playing straight, as he should as opener. He's also in very good form.
Bangladesh this morning also not accurate enough on and around his offstump though.
