Surely though when it comes to a review the guy who is batting should take the initiative and decide not the non striker.

Yeah, probably. Nothing wrong with the non-striker helping but lbws are, more often than not, a gamble.

[LcWoodward]

Obviously not.
At least with the long batting line up we've picked we have got chance to post something reasonable

The cream shirt/white jumpers looks so village

They really do look terrible with the cream shirt underneath

Looked like Cook was lacking a bit of international cricket. He was in some good form in the build up to the game and with a combination of England wanting to play a more positive style of game might have been his undoing. It needed the old style Cook to get through that first 20 over period. With reviews I think it needs to be a joint decision as you as a batsmen will know if it's close it can't be completely put on the nonstriker.

[GoodLeave]

I think it should be 100% the batsman on strike.

If you know where your off stump is, you know if you're outside the line. If you know how tall you are, you know if it's going over the top.

I also find a lot of the non strikers I play with aren't looking to judge LBW's, just watching the striking batsman waiting for a call.

[InternalTraining]

Cook threw his wicket away, that ball was meant to be left. Cook should play selfishly, rest can play the new style of aggressive cricket.

[LcWoodward]

I find a lot of the non-strikers I play aren't paying attention to much never mind the LBW or even the call for a run

[LcWoodward]

And Agreed the white/cream venture defiantly doesn't work

This over-rate is absolutely shocking

[northernboy1987]

This over-rate is absolutely shocking

52 overs in 2 sessions is pathetic like

[GoodLeave]

12 Test wickets lost to No-Balls for Morne.

Someone want to explain to him what that white line is for?

[t2ylo]

The no ball issue is perplexing, surely he needs to work harder on hitting his action in the same place every time. The stumps and white lines don't move.
My pet hate is watching bowlers literally practice bowling no balls in warm up and nets.

Excellent knock from the skipper

[Seniorplayer]

Root joins Peterson lamb strauss Cook  and Mcclaren as century makers in there first game as captain of England.

[Woodyspin]

Just turned on after work. White jumper looks so village on cream!
