Pretty much - you can see the bowlers end umpire unclips Green's cap and walks away from his post, so clearly he also thought the ball was dead.  Its just about right under the laws of the game, but even in a Test Match it'd feel grubby to me not to withdraw the appeal because its reprehensible under the spirit.

At the moment of impact he was unclipping the cap but hadn’t moved. I guess that’s a sign that he considered the ball dead, but when asked if he did so (when he shouldn’t have done) it’s pretty obvious that anyone would say no rather than admit to a mistake.

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

The mistakes of 2019 somewhat vanquished. 2-0 and heading to Leeds to retain the Ashes - Smith wasn’t there in 2019, he will be this time around.

First time in 22 years we have won 3 consecutive Tests in England.

How come he missed 2019?

If you middle a ball to slip and neglect to walk off, you forfeit the right to ever even mention the 'spirit of cricket', IMHO.

That's where everyone is mistaken

Broad edged it, it hit haddin then went to slip

He certainly didn't middle it to first slip

There's been plenty of batsman who have stood there, it's why there are umpires, let them make the decision

Archer hit him in the face at Lords. Smith wasn’t allowed to play in Leeds

Not allowed to play Because of concussion and protocols following knocks to the head for the player’s welfare

They made a decision today. Either there is a 'spirit of cricket' or there isn't. Can't have it both ways.

I'll be glad when Broad has retired. Except he'll no doubt be on TV loads talking about how great he was.

Yeah Broad can't really preach, but I think this is slightly different. Nobody walks nowadays, yet I don't think everyone would do this. Just as not every team would mankad.  Still not a great look imo.

Just because a lot of people do something doesn't make it right.

I never said it did, but it is generally accepted. Not sure this is.
