Only just started watching. Has the ball been seaming and spinning all the way through? Stokes lbw referral went a long way and Leach is turning it too.

NUFAN, I love your thread on the ascending high scores but you're wrong here.

Pretty much.

I think it's a classic sort of decision that no-one would even think about giving out pre-Hawkeye but post-Hawkeye you'd at least think about it. I don't really agree with Daemon here but I don't think he's alone in that kind of opinion.

Warner is shite, so is Harris, Smith and Smith 2 are good, Burgey is posting drivel

Horrible dismissal from Warner, below average from Harris, typical opening cluster****, otherwise decent batting and loose bowling. Odd ball doing a lot off the pitch but not enough pressure and consistency for the movement on offer.

No problem with the on field umpire giving that not out in real time. Then it’s just a case of whether you believe in umpires call.

Oh God, another discussion about the shape of the ball, looks like a change too.

Y no Afghanistan flag
Nah, no way. Did you play cricket out of curiousity? Just feel like your view of ball touching any part of the stump means out is a real ah **** I dunno how to explain it.

Apparently this was down to Overton inadvertently damaging it.

Yeah I did/do.
I just grew up with hawkeye and believe it shows the most probable outcome, and that the decision should be made based on the most probable outcome.
Totally understand why it instinctively feels unlucky to most.

Sorry, that ball is not even close to being as worn as the previous one.

The whole benefit of the doubt to the batsman is just an old school cricket opinion, which is why a guy like Holding who played in the 70s and 80s goes along with it. I play loads of cricket and I personally don't see any reason why it has to be the case, especially at the highest level where there's technology. Admittedly I probably side more with the bowlers on the balance of the game debate than most.
