Been an outstanding test match and kudos to Bangladesh for their part in it.........I actually feel a bit bad for them but their time is coming and a test win against a top side is not far away I'm sure (probably next test tbh)

Yeah, don't have a problem with that. Clearly an attempt by the batsman to hide his bat behind his pad while looking like playing a shot. Ump had none of it and rightly so.

Bangers did better than I thought to be fair. I didn't think they'd get 200 in the 4th innings.

Yeah, I tend to agree, but it really needs to be made a lot clearer in the laws.

Well the ump didn't give it out, but it was crashing into leg-stump, so no problem, why DRS was invented.

oh and there was no way he played a shot.
Yes he did. Don't look at it in slow-mo.

It was a terrible attempt at a shot, but he was trying. Like Khawaja against spin trying - awful, but he had a go at it.

I don't think it matters tbh. If he was that bad he wasn't going to last long enough ftw anyway.

Could DRS tell conclusively the ball would do that with the batsman so far ahead? I am not so sure.

Why are they talking about the improvements in this match by Bangladesh?

The facts were there from the washed out games with SA that were competing more with big boys just we had no full view of it as so much time was lost. Do these guys actually bother to check stuff?

He's not that bad. Has hit a Test fifty and a matchwinning knock in the world cup against England. If he'd wanted to play an actual shot he could have.

The bat was nowhere close to the ball until after it'd hit his pad.

Okay that's five minutes of being happy, but if England don't sort our top-order we're toast for the rest of this Winter.

i know the narrative will be our spinners aren't good enough (which they kinda aren't), but FFS being 100-5 almost every match doesn't ****ing help anything.
