Geez, conspiracy theories around ball tracking are sure to abound. First the Lyon one, then Boland.
More the similarity between smith's and bairstow's that's causing it.

In all seriousness I was pretty nervous when Bairstow reviewed, looked like for a second they were going to leave it which would of been a massive let off for us as it looked a little dodgy, was really banking on umpire's call.
 
It’s just ******* weird, huge delays and then decisions go England’s way.

Impropriety or not it brings suspicion, which is never a good look.
Joe Rogan should do a podcast about it.
 
My gut reaction was the first LBW shout was too high and missing the wickets but the second one was out and I think would have been shown as umpire's call on the ball tracking.
 
Would have loved a sliver of luck at the end there (the DRS conspiracy is a slippery slope) but overall a decent session. It's not a minefield by any means so 5 down is a big plus.

Next 25 overs are huge in the context of the game.

Once England went into normal mode Boland looked so dangerous.

Bazball is like ODI's. if you're predictable you get hit. Probably doesn't suit Boland. Of course, there's always a chance of a wicket with such batting risk but it's tough on a road.

Think once we have experience of bazball they''ll talk about it and have it better planned by the next Test.
 
Another great session of test cricket.

Like I've said before I think we are in for a great test series here, both teams are evenly matched and every session has plenty of twists and turns.

The 2005 Ashes series is the best test series I have seen and this is shaping up the same way.
 
The Barmy Army is just the people that couldn't clear the low bar to be football hooligans
Get with the lingo, mate.

They are the woke version of football hooligans.
