Caught the end of a game Hobart (Stuart Broad) against whatever team Shand Watson plays for.
Was just a slog fest. When T20 came in it was quite exciting but there's only so many times you can see someone heave it to the boundary off consecutive balls before you get bored. They need to do something to help bowlers.
Review system mastery in full effect.
Jennings didn't review. Would have been reversed.
Ballance did review. As plumb as a plumb thing.
Ballance involved in both. Clearly not thinking 'straight' on either occasion.
Indeed. Has Boycott stopped eulogising about the Yorkshire players yet?
I suppose he was not in a position to tell about the Jennings one, but the review on his was curious.
Does he ever?
Ballance couldn't have advised on where the ball pitched, but he should have been able to tell Jennings it was moving down leg and worth a review. His one was ridiculous. He stands that far back in his crease he should never be allowed such a review anyway; unless he told Root he'd nicked it, the skipper ought to take some of the blame, too. Bit of Yorkshire sympathy.
