How the feck is that umpires call?
What's the margin? 2m?

If under 50% of the ball is hitting the stumps it’s umpires call, need to see an overhead shot of that as that looked a lot more than 50%How the feck is that umpires call?

There's talk that he'll be dropped when Root comes back in and Crawley will be kept, not a moment too soon.So predictable isn't he.
Would like to see Ben Foakes get a run again, in my opinion he was wrongly droppedThat's the other issue with Buttler. You could excuse his shit batting if he was an excellent keeper, but he's just, fine.
I see both teams as pretty weak batting wise with good attacks. The return of Root might be enough to make a big difference.I feel like the only person who thinks Blackwood's innings was not a great one. Seeing a lot of praise for it online. It got the job done, but it wasn't an organized innings.
England threw that game away twice - yesterday with the collapse and today again.
I find WI's bowling much more impressive than their batting. It was disciplined and high quality for large periods of time.
Yeah I am very much in the camp of him being given a proper chance but my gut feeling is that we are going to keep persevering with Buttler even though he clearly isn't the same player we have seen in the one day format. I am a Worcestershire fan and think that Cox is a very capable wicket-keeper batsmen but realise there are already many ahead of him in the pecking order.Would like to see Ben Foakes get a run again, in my opinion he was wrongly dropped

Two of our best batsmen are missing, to be fair. Bravo and Hetty would make a lot of difference to our batting attack.I find WI's bowling much more impressive than their batting.
Where are you from? I'm Trini and about the same age group as Darren Bravo, always thought he was average. His (half) brother on the other hand is a player.Two of our best batsmen are missing, to be fair. Bravo and Hetty would make a lot of difference to our batting attack.
Trini as well. Nice to have a fellow Trini on here Darren Bravo has, over the course of his career not made the most of his insane amount of talent, but for me he’s still our most talented test batsman, for what it’s worth, and he is a big miss these days. Darren Bravo could and should have been a lot more than he is.Where are you from? I'm Trini and about the same age group as Darren Bravo, always thought he was average.

Take it be Root, Woakes & Broad inDenly dropped, Wood and Anderson rested.
Not sure what he's done yet, suggestion it was between moving venues.
Annoying - I was looking forward to the test and Archer was fantastic to watch last test. I work from home(due to covid) and game starts at 3:30pm IST, just leave it running in the background and watch ever now and then.. made working from home a lot betterThe latest suggestion is he went home (Hove) in between moving venues. Players have a GPS tracker in their accreditation which makes it a bit weird that they did not respond to this breach before today. I reckon he's missing a test for something stupid like picking up another XBox controller or something .
I'm disappointed too, was looking forward to watching Archer. I don't understand how the bubble works, are Wood and Anderson no longer in it, why can't they call them up? The England selection committee has not covered themselves in glory so far this series. Also letting the England players drive themselves between bubbles seems like an oversight considering all the other lengths they have gone to get cricket on.Annoying - I was looking forward to the test and Archer was fantastic to watch last test.

If Curran's replacing him as @paulscholes18 mentioned, that is a weak attack
The whole thing seems daft when you compare it to how lax the football procedures are in comparison.I'm disappointed too, was looking forward to watching Archer.

Yes, F1 had drivers going back to Monaco in between races too.The whole thing seems daft when you compare it to how lax the football procedures are in comparison.
