    As noted, vastly different technique than his DIY technique he later dreamt up

    I do not want to go to home umpires again; it's not that they are biased, it's that people think they are biased.

    Fair point

    But McGrath's solution is just plain stupid.

    Well, maybe, but I can't recall issues with quality home umpires like Dickie Bird etc.

    And the unstupid, current system of neutral umpires produced the debacle that was the umpiring at Edgebaston

    I think we can all agree that the ICC aren't really interested in the outcome of cricket matches being deemed fair, with playing conditions or umpiring perceptions. TV ratings and the spectacle appear to be the priority, ( numbers on shirts etc)

    Pattinson won't play at Lords.

    It looks like the Aussies are rotating the bowlers knowing there isn't much gap between the 2nd & 3rd Tests.
    I'd be tempted to leave out Siddle too and play Hazlewood and Starc

    Meanwhile the English media are building Archer up. They are asking a lot of a guy on debut

    Looks to be a bit of rain around, the draw is a strong favourite.

    Am taking off with a few mates on holiday with the sole purpose of watching every ball of this test. Rain would annoy me immensely.

    They're replaying the Adelaide Test from 2006.

    There you go Nick. A compliment wrapped up in a not compliment.

    Hard to disagree with though... 😉

    If Mike Hussey had been a Kiwi, people would say "Kane Who?"

    We'd still say Hadlee was a better player.
