Another wrong decision, though given it was glove I don't necessarily blame the umpires for giving that one out.

If the umpires gave the complete opposite decisions to what they've done so far they'd have been more accurate.

You make your own luck. He made his by gloving it.
Ofc but it did look unbelievably out live. To be fair he's better off doing that than trying to go back to full balls and getting pinned like Pope. That sort of dismissal shits me

Lack of games but there's a reason for that. They've taken a massive massive risk with him (though not because his bowling is any worse than it was)
Thought it was that. Been the best bowler by a distance though. He is class. Not noticed him look like a donkey in the field previously like he does today.

I suppose but I really do hate reverse sweeps even as someone who encourages unorthodox shots in tests

He's never been great tbf. A bit of a throwback in that regard, not the athletic boundary fielding fast bowler that you see a fair few of nowadays.

Has taken a few wonderful catches tbf. There was a test a couple years back where he took 2 screamers diving forward

It looks **** but with such a stacked legside field it makes a lot of sense. And it's worked as it's forced Cummins to change plans
Yeah, as a noted uppercut appreciator I understand the rationale but it just looks so heinous when it doesn't come off.

4 of the 5 wickets today have been lost defending or leaving but if England get a sub par score that will presumably be completely ignored
