Well, the third umpire confirmed it, so I guess he knows!0

Stokes gets away with a stone dead lbw as SL have used their reviews1

I have a real issue with the 3rd Umpire constantly giving the benefit of the doubt to the bowler mainly because I really cannot understand why any bowler, let alone a spinner, pushes things so far that the delivery has to be looked at.SoundAsa£ said:

For a bowler part of his foot only has to be behind the line but not necessarily grounded......I believe I am correct in saying that. If I am, then that was a fair delivery...... can someone confirm.
Having said that, it was a damn close call either way.
In fact, I must admit that the sadist in me likes nothing better than, when umpiring and having either warned a bowler that he is getting very close or even already previously called a "no ball", having the arm outstretched just as the batsman's middle stump is seen cartwheeling through the air!2 -
So, now that no. 3 is sorted, and assuming that we use three spinners in the West Indies, how does Curran get back in the side? On the basis that Bairstow wasn't recalled because we had a winning side and Foakes didn't warrant dropping, I suppose he has to bide his time.0

Probably only 2 spinners needed in the Windies anywayAddick Addict said:So, now that no. 3 is sorted, and assuming that we use three spinners in the West Indies, how does Curran get back in the side?

Bairstow gets his ton, well done. A good show of discipline, though batting at number 3 against Starc etc next summer will be very different0 -
As it will for both Burns and Jennings opening. Bairstow is the best option we have to bat at 3 apart from Root who doesn't want to do it. He only averages just over 28 against Australia but that's more than most will muster and I'd like to think with the depth that we now have (we could easily see Foakes at 8 and Curran at 9) any time occupying the crease up top can only help those coming in later.killerandflash said:

If Bairstow stays at 3 Buttler might end up keeping against Australia. Hard calls for the west indies even harder for the summer.Addick Addict said:So, now that no. 3 is sorted, and assuming that we use three spinners in the West Indies, how does Curran get back in the side?

Agree 2 spinners max, but Anderson will be back so doesn't help Curran. Be hard not to select him but unless we go down to 1 spinner he may have to wait.0

Don't think Buttler will keep because we will play only one spinner (with Root to turn his arm over if necessary) so this would be something like this:Cafc43v3r said:

Yes. A poor 4th innings bowling performance, I'm assuming that the conditions were better for spin than seam by then, Briggs with no wickets will be especially disappointed.redman said:Missed the England Lions, so thanks. Did Billings captain and wicketkeep?

And the 3rd Umpire has done it again even confirming that he's given "the benefit of the doubt to the bowler". Why when there is no evidence whatsoever that any part of the foot is beyond the line. Keep calling them "no balls" and they will soon stop doing it.Addick Addict said:

In fact, I must admit that the sadist in me likes nothing better than, when umpiring and having either warned a bowler that he is getting very close or even already previously called a "no ball", having the arm outstretched just as the batsman's middle stump is seen cartwheeling through the air!
Fortunately it didn't matter anyway but that's not the point.2 -
Even though I was a bowler I thought the maxim was 'if in doubt not out' in other words the batsman gets the benefit of any doubt.Addick Addict said:.

Why is Brad Hogg commentating?
Even called Rory Burns, Joe Burns !0 - Sponsored links:

I thought it was a bit odd about Mathews dismissal as it didnt seem clear that he had actually hit it on the (poor) replay - i personally thought it had hit him on the shoulder yet none of the tators said anything. I suppose the soft signal might have been the key?.0

205-5 - Jennings with 4 catches at short leg - this one was a stonker.0

Maybe he could bat at 7 with all the other "all rounders". At this rate we will be playing the aussies with 7 7s, 2 batters and 2 bowlers.Leuth said:

Foakes has hurt a pinkie, if Buttler gets the gloves the Bairstow interview after play would be worth watching1

Was more of a joke. Personally believe it should add a few runs to his average though. Not get him a place in the team, but would give him advantage if it were a close call.Leuth said:
