Aussies not happy.. say it is diversion and should be given 5 penalty runs .. what a laff

I see the Aussies are reverting to type as the series win looks less and less likely whilst Denly books himself on the plane for NZ!

It is fake fielding and should have been penalised as per the laws with five runs.

I see the Incredible Sulk put in a shift again today.
And again! Too busy with fake fielding to be concerned about his woeful batting.

Warne was supporting that Buttler should get the gloves. Can’t argue with that. Then he said Bairstow gets in as a batsman! 😱🤣

Too little too late but a great day for England today. What a great 48 hours for Denly

Buttler's a worse keeper at test level than Bairstow. Foakes to keep with Buttler at six.
Off on my annual jaunt to Sunday at the Oval today. Not going to live up to the highs of other trips - highlight probably being 09 when Flintoff ran out Ponting and we won the Ashes on the day. 2014 also a great year for me personally as my old man gave Cook and the team the trophy after beating India.
Would be nice to see us run through the Aussies today - big day for Leach as first real time there will be pressure on him with the ball. Hope he does well.
To be honest, anything other than a Warner ton (which I've got a terrible feeling about!!) will be fine by me

David Warner fails again 🤣😂

Didn’t realise that Leach bowls left handed yet throws in when fielding with his right.

Oh for crying out loud, fantastic catch by Burns and the review shows its a no ball.

Clearly another example if the lack of discipline amongst this England team.
When batting they won't leave and great work by fielders annulled by the bowler lack of basic discipline.
" bad luck, old boy " won't do.

Apparently that was the first no ball Woakes has bowled in test cricket. Until they checked the ball before, which was as bad, but not called. Which begs the question if they are bowling them but the umpire isn't calling them, whose fault is it?
It’s obviously brexits fault 🤣

So a good day yesterday but doesn't paper over so many issues. Will Broad and Anderson tour and how much have they in the tank anyway so who becomes the strike bowlers. Archer has good periods and is learning his craft at this level but who else gets the new ball. What about first change bowlers? I really think the time has come to pick a specialist keeper, even if that means putting them down at 8 or 9. I don't think we're that strong and the top order still a mess and I've no confidence in the selectors. I would use the winter to try new players (and give them time, not chop and change game by game) but no doubt we'll carry on as we are

Hmmm Whose fault is it, the one who breaks the law, or the one who should, but doesn't catch him?
😀
it appears to be common, not picking up no balls. Not sure why they don't just get the 3rd up to monitor it live and buzz the standing ump. bowing sides are just not being penalised for bowing them, only when a wicket falls. i saw cummins bowl lots of them esp the short pitched, none picket up

Yes, a good idea. I can appreciate why the standing umpire doesn't look for and call the no ball. To do that he then has to quickly look up and be expected to rule on lbw, catches etc. With fast bowling that change of focus of the eyes at that speed is not conducive to good judgement.
Although it was done in earlier years, it was a case if having to:nowadays technology is available, so why not use it.
I would also defend the present set up, where it is only checked when wickets fall. To my mind it is better than having iffy decisions concerning the "other end"
