Styris going on about a back foot no ball, about how it is first point of contact.
The law states:
21.5.1 the bowler’s back foot must land within and not touching the return crease appertaining to his/her stated mode of delivery.
So I read that as if your back foot touches the line it's a no ball.
Bowler landed on his toes and then bought his heel down onto the line. I would say the umpire is correct in calling no ball as that was part of his back foot landing.
What says The Fern?
I read it as all being at the time it lands. Agree that it's not completely clear though.

Kane clobbers a 4 to reach 200 then declares
Reckon we have a good chance of winning this test now.. -
Have our top 3 ever combined more runs before?

It's a Saturdee in Hamilton for crying out loud. it's not like Eminem is playing.....so how come there's about as many spectators as there is players?
Bangladesh sure aren't much of a drawcard.
Nice to see KW smash an unbeaten double, this guy sure is good.
Also amusing to see @mariner4life s mate CDGH smash quick runs against a demoralised attack and ensure his spot in the test team for at least the next 10-15 tests.
@Virgil not wrong, that is some effort from numbers 1-3

Pretty selfish to declare after reaching his milestone
I thought he didnt care much for stats
Why not wait for CdG.. give him a couple of overs..Maybe because with the lead as it was they had settled on declaring at drinks - and Kane managed to get enough balls faced to score his 200. Hardly selfish and given what happened against sri lanka, extra time on what is a friendly pitch is not a bad idea

17th highest score in test history.
First score of 700+ since 2010.. -

4 down in an impossible position to bat out 2 days, but playing on a road with two set batsmen who didn't look greatly challenged ...
...a bit too much like first test v Lankans ...
Don't expect that to happen again though. (Fingers crossed.)
Not the same quality of batting for this Bangladeshi side.

Can't find coverage on Fox today. Instead we get to watch the chicks play cricket in slow motion.

Bangladesh making it look easy this morning. Might be time for Kane to have a bowl.
If they had Shakib and Mushfiqur, they could probably draw a test. It's a very flat pitch and I expect the Basin to be the same.
Bangladesh need to bowl first. Our pitches are very flat by day 2 and they don't really turn much on day 5.

Thank you Todd, we'll call you if we need minimal legspin, no ability to tie down an end and a longer follow through than Boulty. You can keep the shirts and merch
A black caps spinner being a bit shit?
There's a surprise.
