Surrey were very disappoonted to see Dom Sibley go. There was no being told to 'sling his hook'. It has undoubtedly proved a good move for him. Though it wasn't exacttly a swap, Rikki Clarke going in the opposite direction worked out well too.

Well bowled our much-maligned spinners.

DRS just needs to improve its accuracy.
25% of the ball instead of 50% and move on from there. 50% is ridiculous.

This could be a whole new thread but I like the technology generally but have never thought ball tracking could ever be accurate.

Tufnell was on this morning explaining about the arm ball or slider or non spinning off break -whatever you want to call it.

He said it's basically the same action but undercut with a different grip. The idea being you avoid landing on the seam so there's no grip and the ball carries on its arc.

The ball tracking could never know how the ball reacts when it hits the pitch-and that determines which path it's travelling on.


As someone who has previously worked for one of the two ball tracking companies, I can answer this.
The system doesn’t know what the bowler has attempted to do, nor does it need to.
It’s purely works on the data it’s got post bounce to work out the path the ball is travelling along until impact and then using that information it predicts where the ball would have impacted the stumps, had it not been stopped.

Umpires call is in there to help cover the umpires and back there decision making rather than to purely cover for the ball tracking.

I'm increasingly persuaded by arguments for doing away with 'umpire's call'.

I feel umpires call should go away for both DRS and on field calls. If you say DRS isn't perfect, then we know that it could be off a little if any, but umpire can be off by several inches as we have seen since forever. At least with DRS, the inaccuracy is same for everyone unlike in case of umpires where we see same umpire gives mistaken out sometimes and mistaken not-out sometimes and then each umpire is different as well. As for on field calls, umpires call doesn't make sense either. Where technology is not able to figure out even with the superfast/magnifying cameras with multiple replays, I can't see how umpires could even come close to that accuracy.

Havnt seen any TV highlights yet but the modern way of playing spin is more from the back foot, or right forward/right back don't get stuck in the halfway house position.

To play off the back foot you do need to trust the pitch and away from any shooters. I remember seeing a clip with Thorpe demonstrating how to work the spinners around from the back foot, giving more time to see the ball.

I'm pretty sure he scored a hundred in Sri Lanka or Pakistan hitting no fours, just knocking the balls into gaps.

It could be that Sibley in the last innings went further back, it would be interesting to see. If he has done that I guess it does show you need to change if anything doesn't work for a while.

Having loved watching Thorpe bat against pace or spin, Root has shown again he is one of the best against it.

Thorpe got the ton in Pakistan hitting 1 boundary:-

His was superb in both Pakistan and Sri Lanka that winter.

I had no reason to believe this wouldn't be on Sky. But now I think of it,  it's not been advertised.

There’s been a falling out between BCCI and Sky Sports. So from what I’ve read Disney owns star sports in India decided to use their platform for the international market.
Kick in the teeth for the fans as it’s another subscription fee.

So the Telegraph article doesn’t actually confirm anything, just that it might be on Disney or another of their services or it might be be sold on to a 3rd party.

Amazing how late in the day these things are left, we shall see...

Looking at a few Indian papers online it's Star Sports and Disney Plus streaming.
