Why Howie hates immigrants?
No no you don't get it. Because it would be such a big moment to go back to the home country of his birth and the crowd would get all around him.

I've noticed commentators talk about players with certain cultural identities like they're children almost when it comes to the fore, or the potential for it to come forward does. Good intentioned, but awkward.

Uzi should play for Pakistan sounds very 'go back to where you came from' though.

It wasn't an English commentator who suggested it thankfully. So definitely no racism involved.

Warner won't have to punch Howie in the jaw

Starc got cut in half by a ball that went between his bat and pad. England appeal for caught behind which was turned down. No edge on it, but they checked the LBW belatedly and it was ump's call.

I think we had this issue awhile back with some player not being able to be given LBW because the call was regarding a caught.
has there ever been a case where the umpire asks ''what are you appealing for''?
can you not have 2 bites of the cherry?

class knock regardless.

(also broad probably shouldn't have his newspaper column, but he's usually right when he points out that he should stop being randomly dropped)

Khawaja did have a great tour of UAE a few years back tbf. That match saving ton probably his best in his career. So atleast from a cricket pov it makes sense.
