Yes!! Think even I might have caught that one!


Blindfolded !

Where does the speed gun take the measurement from ?

Is it a point of release or at point the ball reaches the batsmen's popping crease or elsewhere ?

It is recorded from the hand which is why the actual pace is a couple of mph less because of the pace taken off once the ball hits the deck

Surely an over of Wood at Head. Cannot play the short ball 

Cafc43v3r

Bairstow would have caught that 

Addick Addict

Oh Rooty!!!

13 drops and a missed stumping in just over two games really isn't good enough

Another Yorkshire drop

CharltonKerry

Commentators reckon 13 dropped catches and a missed stumping by England, explains why we haven’t won a test so far in the series.

Pelling1993

13 drops and a missed stumping in 6 and bit innings is unforgivable 

MrOneLung

How many drops and missed stumpings is that ?

FishCostaFortune

No surprise that some standards may drop when you have a sort of ‘train if you fancy it’ policy. 

Chizz

Is anyone keeping a tally of dropped chances and missed stumpings?

Pelling1993

I hate Mitch Marsh. Absolutely shocking until he plays England then he turns up… mind you if we could catch! 

Addick Addict

Anyone fancy standing at silly point when Broady drops a short wide one to Mitch Marsh? 

MrOneLung

Need to break this partnership.

These two can get going and score quite quickly and we will lose all momentum from the morning 

Pelling1993

Bairstow takes a screamer when he doesn’t need to 😂

Inside edge wasn't it?

Nowhere near the bat!

Pelling1993

Both pads 

Pelling1993

Closer than it looked 

Pelling1993

Frustrating little period this 

Addick Addict

Marsh is making Head look pedestrian 

Addick Addict

Marsh swats a 91mph ball for 6 off Wood with ease to go to 49 off 58 balls

Pelling1993

Root's drop looking far more costly at the moment

Chris_from_Sidcup

All our good work from the morning session is being undone here

Pelling1993

Cricketing basics looking like being very costly for the 3rd test in a row

Keep dropping catches and we will keep losing matches

Yep, an extra 67 and counting from dropped players so far.

Catches win matches....

North Lower Neil

Now 85, over half their score.

Pelling1993

We let them back into the game every bloody test.
