Are the WI openers wearing adidas bowling shoes ?

Holder has really binded this side together, more remarkable as some of their bigger names show no interest in Test cricket.

Clearly Windies and Pak have their work cut out preparing for their reviews as looks like they will need them dearly! :D

Thank God, can't think of a player who triggers me more with fluking it than Campbell

People need to stop looking at umpires in isolation. Umpires + DRS have gotten it right - that’s what matters. Can we stop getting triggered every time DRS overturns an umpire decision ? The system is working.

Yeah but the three overturned in our innings shouldn't have needed a review, the umpires should be getting them right at the very least

Excellent player who is leading the team well and putting in good performances

It looks like a typical early season wicket with movement and overhead conditions are perfect for a tall seamer.

We will not know how Broad would of bowled but Holder has been just right for the conditions

Behave!!  Holder wasn't even convinced about reviewing the Archer one.  Crawley hit his pad and the umpire presumably thought it was an inside edge which you see happen quite a lot.  It's not like they were all pitched middle and were hitting halfway up middle.

The umpiring standard has been absolute (No Swearing Please). These two clown umpires will even make Joel Wilson look good. Might as well let technology make all the decisions than these clown make decisions out in the middle.

The BBC's TV commentary team is just god awful, worst I've heard in years.

I cannot stand Alison Mitchell and how she screams into the mic when something eventful happens.

Also they have tried to make player stats all exciting by adding music.

Can they not just show the sky highlights instead 🤣

Oh and yes the umpiring has been dreadfull too

Still failing to see the reasons for playing both Archer and Wood together, Broad would have at least pitched the thing up

Nearly 4 months of lockdown and we finally get cricket back and it's all moan moan moan with the odd comment on how good Holder is.   :(
