To be fair, I'm a village cricketer and I wouldn't be seen dead in white on cream.

The second image looks a very short blade

I’m watching the highlights and my eyes start to twitch and my ocd kicks in every time I see that Jumper and shirt combo.

Surely someone at NB will have seen this and thought “oh that’s looks pretty naff, better change that for the next test”

I didn’t think I’d say this but I prefer the brilliant white shade like what SA have and England of old, the new stuff just looks to Aussie for my liking plus the pads and of the batsman don’t match with cream now.

Root should've been out 3 times, you can't give class players those lives. SA's fielding and no balls issues are getting farcical.

I wonder if they have messed up the players batch only the launch pictures and promotional pictures in this example for pro-direct the jumper and shirt match, unless its the lighting that makes it appear this way.

So do we think England will kick on to 500-550 or throw away a good chance and limp to 420 after being overly aggressive in the first few overs?

Oh and over rates? When I go to a test I'm usually a bit tired and emotional by 6.30pm so I don't really notice if they have bowled 87 or 90 overs.

I'm assuming the aim is 15 per hour but allowances are made for the frequent reviews etc. A lot of commentators moan about it. Shouldn't a bowling team be given a target before they begin bowling (or have a D/L type thing on the scoreboard showing if they are up or down) and be punished if they don't reach it. Banning captains or fining players doesn't really work as teams will take a hit for immediate benefits. Surely something like 10 runs per over lost would give an incentive to 'get on with the game'. So today England would have finished on 387-5.

Completely unacceptable for a village spinner to overstep let alone a pro playing at the highest level.
