It doesn't have to land behind the line to be a legal delivery, there just needs to be part of the foot behind the line whether it's on the ground or in the air. There was a tiny part of the back of Crane's shoe behind the line, ergo it's a legitimate delivery.

Afraid, id have said no ball too.

Really time they used technology and started looking at every ball for no balls. Umpires are making too many mistakes.

I’m also going bed now.. I can’t hack this England team it’s  just so poor, over rated and a green top / feather bed side and no one seems to care about finding quality players.. just happy to have inconsistent mediocrity with the odd top innings or spell

Im more on about his outright refusal to entertain the fact that he may not be right 100% of the time and that other people are allowed to have opinions.

The way he kept shouting “NO NO NO” and laughing when Ricky Ponting was trying to talk (during the 3rd test) was absolutely disgraceful and classless. You could see Ponting holding back a lot of anger at how rude he was being.

( and the discussion with Michael Hussey about Steve Smith last night where he let Hussey talk a grand total of about 3 times. He didn’t consider that maybe we might want to hear Hussey’s opinion, considering it’s his home country and he knows a lot more about Smith.)

I don't think I've heard worse commentary and analysis for a whole tour from the English point of view before. Alison Mitchell is good.....articulate and respectful to the players and viewers, apart from that honestly the coverage has been awful to watch.

the Aussies has had some poor ones in the past but we have taken the biscuit this time. It's been very very poor.

I will say again.....Botham can get on your nerves a bit nowadays but the Sky group has been missed-just my opinion

Bumble, Athers, Nasser, holding,Ian ward even and also rob key....come back all is forgiven.

Never want to hear boycott,Swann or Vaughan give their smarmy opinions or what I pay to watch.

Rant over !!

Come back Bumble you nutter we love you.

It also has other impacts in the game. Not just the obvious Khawaja being given not out.... but also England lose a Review.

Surely if the umpire gives a No Ball in real time then Root isn't going to review that ball is he.

Boycott is more honest than anyone else. His laughing at a world great in Ponting was abject but he hasn’t been saying what needs to be said.

Disagree on Alison Mitchell, I’ve found her boring, offering nothing insightful or even half the time Cricket related.. do you want people who are nice about players or ones who will call a spade a spade.

Bt have missed a trick by not doing more ‘ashes zone’ type stuff but they might expand in the future..

Agree with Swann , few times he’s spoken about spin has been interesting but generally he’s annoying. Vaughan just needs to go from every type of media

In what world is that NOT a no ball?? 

Did he land any part of his foot behind the line? NO!!

Another wonky line marking?

No ball. Not out. Move on.

He doesn't have to land any part of his front foot behind the line. He merely has to have some of it behind the line when his foot lands.

Learn the laws of cricket and then move on?

But better than Isa Guha and Clare Connor. 

This will doubtless be decried as sexist...but why do we have to have these obvious nod to "equality"?  Mitchell at least has something to offer but some are abject.

Totally agree. Don’t need them - networks have jumped on the bandwagon.

Don't need any of them, but a least Connor and Guha have some experience of playing cricket.

Mitchell tries far too hard and talks far too much, the whole comms  squad are shocking though, Swanny is arrogant and just pokes fun at players, let's not forget he ran away when we were getting spanked last time we were over, Boycott is rude and slams everyone as they aren't as good as he was apparently

I like it when Mitchell and Ponting are commentating together, Mitchell just does her job without trying too hard to be funny like some of the others, Ponting is hands down the best person they've got when it comes to just talking about cricket.

Swann and Fleming really, really irritate me. Vaughan isn't as bad as his twitter persona but he's still crap, Boycs makes good points but then never stops repeating them and I don't even know what the point of Gilchrist is.
 
To top it off you have Matt Smith during every break who should just stop talking.

Although, we should all be grateful to BT Sport for saving us from the vapid, moronic, 'bants' that is the Channel 9 cricket coverage.

Also if the umpire actually starts looking for no balls again this would have been prevented as he would have been called overs before and would have been behind the line. Same with the Curran one. As for the rule can't help but think the future of bowling boots will have a nice extended heel on them.

As for the ashes I maintain if the series was in England the result would have been very different. Their bowling attack has been alot better on those dead wickets. The same things were being said after we toured India and people were saying it wasn't just because they were in India this Indian team could win anywhere look at them in South Africa they look clueless after one innings and it isn't even swinging half as much as it would in the UK.
