I don't think there's anyone alive who doesn't like Williamson. It would be like hating a litter of newborn puppies.

 

[Athlai]

Williamson is the baby yoda of cricket

 

[ataraxia]

The need?

 

[Spark]

Pretty hard to win Test matches if your top order decides to start a charity...

 

[straw man]

We haven't exactly been ruthless this match - lots of unforced mistakes.

If England get Williamson any time soon they're on track for victory.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Fail to review, drop catches, and throw away wickets. Not good.

 

[SteveNZ]

that is unbelievably poor from Raval

Another guy who isn't the answer. To almost swat out initially, then actually get out, it's just so incredibly poor. He has no idea how to play an innings.

We needed our own FC warmup match.

 

[_Ed_]

Well, poos.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

England could have a big lead here. And Archer hasn't been a factor ... yet

 

[Howsie]

ffs. Williamson getting out to balls that jump of a length and here is old Jeet Raval can’t play a no hoper spinner.

 

[thierry henry]

ffs....of course Kane has to get the freaky unplayable one on the otherwise flat pitch

 

[Daemon]

Cricinfo is saying they reckon he didn't nick it? I don't trust you guys anymore after everyone told me that Cummins "no-ball" was obvious

You..don’t think it was obvious? How..what?

 

[thierry henry]

You..don’t think it was obvious? How..what?

Because it wasn’t. I’m not really sure how else to break it down when we’re dealing with whether something is behind a line or not

 

[Daemon]

It was as obvious as the difference in height between Williamson and Vettori

 

[Athlai]

I had to google this no ball controversy and that’s clearly a no ball.

 

[thierry henry]

If you draw a line directly from the back of his shoe it almost perfectly aligns with the back of the line. I’ve saved an image, cropped, zoomed etc and that’s a fact.

Not really sure what else to say? It’s not really even a matter of opinion thing unless there’s a different camera angle

This has been an entertaining read

If it’s still in the air it’s not behind the line ffs.
