Another half chance goes begging...

[backfootpunch]

that looked very very close

[ianp1970]

...and now a review...

[Arthur Crabtree]

That lbw looks out.

[ianp1970]

Umpire's call?

[ianp1970]

Out!!!

[backfootpunch]

umpire really should have given that out, it just looked plumb in real time

[budgetmeansbudget]

Just inside the tolerance that one, a mm or so further to the leg and that would have come up umpires call.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Decent, longish spell from Jordan and a deserved wicket.

[ianp1970]

Amazing what happens when you bowl at the stumps...

[backfootpunch]

Amazing what happens when you bowl at the stumps...

the amazing thing is that the two guys who have 180 tests between them have been the main culprits

i would be confident in saying that if both of them had bowled every delivery they had ever bowled in test cricket a foot fuller there averages would be 2 or 3 runs per wicket lower

both jimmy and broad have always been guilty of erring on the short side

Amazing what happens when you bowl at the stumps...

that's commie talk, buster.

Only subversive pinko's bowl at the stumps these days

almost as ridiculous as not playing for the non-existant spin of a 'mystery' spinner who couldn't turn the ball an inch on a dust bowl

Shape up or ship out!

[Durhamfootman]

is this really a 2 runs an over pitch?

[Arthur Crabtree]

You'll be up in front of the House Un-ECB Activities Committee, Ian.

Just being seen here with you is hurting me.

[Arthur Crabtree]

is this really a 2 runs an over pitch?

Afraid so. Unless WI try and put pressure back on England and mess with their lengths, then it's going to be slow as the ball is still swinging.
