Definitely ordinary in Chennai and I guess it maybe so here too, I agree he could have looked at more angles but if he was convinced it was grassed, that was it, wasn't it? And unlike Chennai, here we have had the right decisions made, so maybe that makes it easier for me to let go of the umpire not viewing more angles here.
We have a few of the top players, and if they don't fire the mediocrity of the next layer is exposed for all to see
They play a lot a tests per year compared to other teams... so sample size
As I said above I don't think the two are comparable. I personally don't have a problem with the third umpire thinking the first replay is conclusive as, well, I also thought that first replay was conclusive. In some of those angles of the Pujara catch, you literally couldn't see the ball at all.
Looks like he lost a fight to the ground

Is it out if your fingers are splayed under the ball, which means you've netted it but some portion of the ball might be in contact with the turf?
I agree. Foakes is a gem and they need to persevere with him. Pope and Crawley could be great players, and Stone, if managed correctly, could be a huge asset at test level. I can see him knocking over plenty of batting line ups
I mean I invite you to try that with a cricket ball and see if that's actually possible. My long-standing personal view is that if you've got the ball nestled in the "scoop" of your fingers and palm then it's a physical impossibility for it to be touching the ground and those should always be given out.
I know you're kidding but I always find this stuff the absolute worst part of clean catch discourse.
