Enjoyable use of the scoreboard to cover up the man trying to flatten the turd of a wicket.

I'm not sure that it's the pitch or the ability of the Indian bowlers. A large part of it is poor batting from the England batsmen.

But those in the studio are only presenting to a UK audience.
Those on live commentary are broadcasting the English language commentary worldwide.

Your logic is weird. It’s ok to be biased if you’re local but not if you’re international? I don’t agree. I also don’t mind commentators being invested in games, lends more passion to their involvement. But they’re really not as biased as you’re making out, I think you’re over egging that massively.

I have not made any claims about the level of their bias, merely stated that when presenting to a global audience it is best if commentators display no bias.
Personally I am far more concerned by the poor pitch and the poor technique of the batsmen (on both sides).

If Archer's a no.8 then Glenn McGrath was up with Tendulkar.

4 no 11s was always a potential worry with this side, I guess less so on this track but Archer at 8 cant be a long term plan

I have just said the very same thing.
Our batting line-up is 1 to 7 then 11a, 11b, 11c and 11d.

Absolute joke of a decision, there's no way he can say that hasnt touched the bat. Cheats.

Now that looked exactly the same as Root's...

Haha are you for real? There was clear distance and there was no sound until it hit pad. There’s only one side showing bias on this thread!

Unfortunately the 3rd umpire hid behind the VAR-type, inclusive evidence of "clear and obvious error" to overturn. My view is that I think he feathered that and benefit should be to the bat.

He never touched it. There was visible space and no noise!

Are you on a mission to just disagree with everyone and provide the contrary view ? It’s almost like it’s deliberatly done to get a rise from people

Grow up and discuss the matter at hand, Phil. As I’ve said to you before, play the ball, not the man.

My opinion is different. I think there was enough doubt from Snicko as a spike appeared next to the bat. You maybe right. I maybe right. There was enough doubt for the 3rd umpire to say to give the benefit, but that doesn't happen.
