Shawry: "That is just rubbish umpiring. No doubt Stokes (and other bowlers) have been overstepping and not getting called. Umpires allowing them to bowl over the line encourage them to do so and then create this problem. Terrible umpiring."

Cricinfo bringing the lawls. Of course, it's entirely unfair that the bowlers are allowed to bowl on the line with near impunity but as soon as they over-step, the umpires go ahead and call them! It's a bloody outrage!

Clarke is a very good bat overseas, but on Australian decks now he is simply sublime.

Nah, I don't think its that bad a point. If you are of the belief that you are bowling legitimate deliveries all the time, it is crazy for it only to be checked when you actually take a wicket.

It's not a one-way street; bowlers check and often get a quiet word from the umpire if they're getting close. Onus is on the bowler if they think they're getting close and to suffer the consequences otherwise.

Anyway, have we just batted really well, the bowling been complete rubbish or - most pertinently - the pitch much easier to play on?
