But none of the foot is grounded behind the line. I don't think grounding comes into it, but just part of the foot is required behind the line. I've been known to be wrong, thoughAs long as part of the foot is grounded behind the line when he lands, I think it's alright.
Pretty sure they would have been watching more closely than TV spectators.i noticed it myself earlier maybe the umpires werent watchin properly
I see, now that you mention it I have heard umpires say that it doesn't necessarily have to be grounded, the foot that is.The law for no-balls (IIRC) is that part of the foot has to be behind the line, whether it be grounded or raised.

Turned in good performances against both Ireland and Bangladesh I think, they looked pretty cluless trying to play him. The West Indies didn't really want to hit him because all the pace was being taken off the ball, Dalrymple could have had the same effect if he was bowling.Thought's on Vaughan's bowling? One of the better part-timers going round imho.
I know he had been flaming, but he was bringing up some decent discussion points this time, even if they were primarily all anti-England.About time this latest BLE got banned.
One day you'll rue that, Dickinson...Not often, though - only 13,000-odd times...
Didn't look like it - Dalrymple bowled some rubbish and wasn't keeping it tight. Vaughan lobs it up more than practically everyone, his hand grenades are highly useful on a good day on a high scoring wicket.Turned in good performances against both Ireland and Bangladesh I think, they looked pretty cluless trying to play him.

I reported him. Was getting sick of it.About time this latest BLE got banned.
I've always been a fan. I remember him bowling an absolute jaffa to clean-bowl Sachin which was pretty much the perfect offie's dismissal. I'd assumed with his knee/hamstring/whatever issues we'd seen the last of him as a bowler, but it appears not.Thoughts on Vaughan's bowling? One of the better part-timers going round imho.
So you would bat Flintoff at 7 or 8? Where would you bat Strauss and Vaughan?I've always been a fan.

With Mick now (seemingly) a viable option I reckon the selectors might go for a 4-man attack for the Windies tests, relying on Vaughan/Colly/KP/Bell for the 5th option.
Flintoff 7; Strauss to open; Vaughan 4.So you would bat Flintoff at 7 or 8? Where would you bat Strauss and Vaughan?
