Yeah, this info came out later and i was watching live. Guess Channel 7 broke the 14 no ball news to everyone. For some weird reasons no broadcaster bothered to share single no ball footage on live feed except the 2, which got caught by naked eyes.
May be the third umpire was sleeping or he was not having the footage to call the no ball, the third umpire is responsible for these front foot no ball i believe.

Australia is in a good position and David Warner once again missed his century but he played well but Travis Head surprised me as he was playing as it is an T20 or ODI striking at over 120 and he is still in the crease and by morning they will be having a 200 runs lead and it is going to be a difficult match for England to recover in this match.

Just checked the highlights of this test match. Australia is in a good position at the moment. They have a lead of 197 runs and they will try to take it to 300 if possible as not too many wickets left now. Still better than the English team, what pathetic batting from them they could not even score 150.

Third empire was sleeping or not good thing it's all happening in Australia and match between Australia vs England so media will also not highlight and ICC and relative Boards will also quite because it's all about failure of technology. If this can have any link with Sub-Continent specially with Pakistan then surely it's going to be spot fixing case and all guns start firing against Pakistan because it's the easiest victim for them.

Now it's all in control of Australia their batting done some better job, and they have 197 lead with 3 wickets still in hand and Head is on crease so if they will take 55 to 60 more runs than it's going to be very difficult for England to avoid inning defeat because their batting line up is very bad for this series, and they can't handle quality bowling of Australia with Cummins, Start and Hazelwood all on fire.

What's the use of this modern technology when you still cannot be accurate in your decisions, these small things affect the matches so much these days, especially in the t20s. If third umpire is too occupied with other things, they should just have one extra person looking for no balls.
They clarified by saying that tech was not working at all and they went to old era technique which is on field umpires call but sounds bizarre clarification considering it took them 14 frigging no balls to act. Now imagine same scenario if it was any subcontinent country. There was big possibility of most of the cricketing world especially SENA countries reaction would be at spot fixing allegation and nonsense demands for bowler's head, including match officials integrity and spirit of the game.

As long as Travis Head stays at the crease, Australia's collection will continue to grow. If he is out, other batsmen will not be able to stay in the crease for long. With the exception of Warner, Labuschange and Head, no other batsman has been able to collect more than 12. Australia will win this match. I don't think England's players will make a big splash in the second innings.
English batting line up is completely crap just alone Root can't survive every time, and we have some good hype about Stokes return, but all forget he is coming into test cricket after very long gape, so he needs some good practice before doing any good thing.

Right now, Australian batting is also having not special but still Warner, Labuschange and Head are on target for them which is very good and positive after watching first English and then Australian batting now I am feeling Australia can whitewash them without any big trouble just rain can give them some room, otherwise they have nothing bad this time in the Ashes. Or may be rain is second option for having something better.

It is team Bangladesh. After losing all their wickets for just 87 runs in the first innings, they started batting in the second innings today. They lost 4 wickets in just 25 runs. With such a weak team and weak batting lineup, it would have been better not to play a Test series against a strong team like Pakistan. Bangladesh should have played T20 and ODI series against Pakisthan. Then they could fight a little.

If the team can't win or perform well in the test matches, don't expect any better performance from them in T20's and ODI's. After bangladesh scored 86 runs only in the first innings and were followed on, there was no way they could save the match. They showed a poor performance in the WC previously and now the recent series was a complete disaster for them.
I don't know how can Bangladesh be so inconsistent in their performance and that also at the very same venues, at once they will beat the world t20 champions in a t20 series by 3-2 and immediately after that they will get defeated from Scotland and struggle to even play respectable cricket in front of other teams. If they want to become a good team on the international stage, they have to become consistent for the least, you obviously cannot be so inconsistent in your performances in same format and expect the world to think of you as a great team, currently Bangladesh gets to play against top cricketing nations only because of their viewership otherwise their performance isn't worth that lately.

Although Pakistan won the series but I do wish Bangladesh should have performed better. The only way teams could do better and learn from their mistakes is when they have been given the equal opportunity by the ICC to play a series against different teams. After this series, when is the next series plan for Bangladesh?

Shakib Al Hasan is my favorite batsman in the team and he performed well. Bangladesh need more of domestic cricket and more international matches and they would become much better team.



Bangladesh performance in this test match was the worst one. Getting beaten by an innings and eight runs at home ground suggest there is a big problem with this team. Sajid Khan bowled impressively for Pakistan, he took eight wickets in the first innings and then 4 wickets in the second innings. This might be his best bowling figure in an international match. 2-0 wipeout in their home ground suggests the Bangladesh board needs to make many things correct with this team.
True. I think Bangladesh has to build a test team from scratch, they have good limited over teams because of the premier league in action, they get good players from there but for test cricket you need good level first-class cricket going on in your country which isn't really the case with Bangladesh. Their national cricket league hasn't been able to give their youngsters very much exposure to first clas
~ on the other hand Warner got bowled by Ben stokes but it turned out to be no ball. Surprisingly Ben stokes stepped out of the line 4 times at the same over but third umpire finally woke up when Warner got bowled.
Automated front-foot technology has failed to detect the no balls. Ben Stokes has delivered a lot of no balls today and all of those no balls was considered as right ball as the technology was broken. Only three of his no balls was detected by the umpires. I believe Ben Stokes would have changed his running stapes if the technology detected the no balls of his early deliveries. Australia has taken a good lead, most probably they will win the match.

After England lost all their wickets for just 147 runs, Australia collected 343 runs at the end of the second day, they lost 7 wickets. They are 196 runs ahead of England. Travis Head is still at the crease, he is unbeaten on 112 runs. If Australia can take a 250-run lead, they have a chance to win. England played so badly in the first innings that the entire match is now under Australian control. They will win this match easily if they do not make any big mistake.
As one of the fastest centuries ever in the Ashes, Terrific Head's century was joint-third fastest. It was an innings that basically reinforced Australia's dominance in the test so far. As long as Head can continue to bat, it won't be a big deal to reach 150+ runs. Yeah, England played really poorly! There are now questions regarding Ben Stokes. England will be at a disadvantage if he continues to play with an injury.

As long as Travis Head stays at the crease, Australia's collection will continue to grow. If he is out, other batsmen will not be able to stay in the crease for long.

Even Queensland Police is making fun English team. Nobody was expecting such a bad start of Ashes from English team. Its a good start from Cummins of both his Captaincy and Ashes series by picking 5 wickets. Seems like its an English team of early 2000 when Mike Atherton was captain of very weak English team.

Tough first session for the England.

England bowled really well at the first hour, they were pretty unlucky not to get couple of wickets. Marnus nicked few but ball didn't carry at all, on the other hand Warner got bowled by Ben stokes but it turned out to be no ball. Surprisingly Ben stokes stepped out of the line 4 times at the same over but third umpire finally woke up when Warner got bowled.

Now Warner-Marnus duo just cashing in and setting their team for big score.


Edit

Warner riding his luck, dropped by Burns!

Daddy hundred coming up...

After reading your old posts I was feeling you are good aware about cricket rules but after reading this one now I am feeling you have no knowledge about this, or you are really upset with this result draw
Dumb statements. You clearly have no idea how much knowledge I possess regarding Cricket. Also, I am clearly upset with these archaic draw rules in tests which I have expressed through some of my earlier posts.



Every non-sense person thinks he is the most intelligent person out there .
I wonder you still lost in the test match rules which lead to the draw.  Cheesy


Atm only Pakistan seems only contender to give India some sort of competition in subcontinent condition as they do have some world class batsmen, they are also very good at playing spin although they didn't face any quality spin since the era of Harbhajan-Kumble-Warne-Murli. Not sure about their spin attack tho, Yasir Shah was my fav go to guy after Ashwin but he's fading now, don't know why he's not playing anymore.
And that's the reason they don't wanna play with Pakistan because this will spoil the Indian winning records at home  Smiley
And that's another reason why they don't allow Pakistani players in IPL, for if they do, the Pakistani superstars will break all records of Auctions.
I am sure, the Pakistani players will be the most expensive players in the auction because of their performances.

To be honest I think that Pakistan is a far better t20 team than India because Pakistan can utilize their pace in almost any pitch and find a great young batting order who can smash balls any time of the innings. Will India also has really good batsmen but on the bowling side, I think they are less than Pakistan. And obviously, those are some reasons why I don't want to show their weakness by inviting Pakistani players into IPL.

+1
Spot on and rightly said. Recent Pakistani performance in the world cup and the series after proofs that no team can match their caliabre, specially the neighboring teams  Wink

There could have been worse for Bangladesh than losing seven wickets for 76 runs. Bangladesh is no stranger being embarrassment, they undergo this as part of their normal routine. The quick dismissal raises the question of whether Bangladeshi batters care about anything? How long they have been expressing their novice attitude on the international stage. It's no wonder they come with the same excuse packs again because they have bundle packs of excuses. Things are weird with this Bangladeshi squad, and nothing can fix it.
Player doesn't have good connection with the coach, there is also doubts about the team selectors. Few old and good players weren't in the squad of this series. Team selectors has included many new players in the squad and all of them have failed to show good performance. Bangladesh really need two good batsmen who can make a better opening partnership. The second test wasn't even played for two and a half days, but Bangladesh has lost the match by 8 runs and an innings.

Shakib Al Hasan gets his 26th test fifty, when Bangladesh required him most. A superb innings that gives Bangladesh hope still alive. Yet 20 overs far away they need to survive in order to draw the match. Bangladesh team so much dependent on few senior players, and all through the series the vast majority of their senior players were absent. The outcome could be different if they could played. Bangladesh are passing a very crucial time, and need to prior attention.

Bangladesh cricket team is heavily dependent on Shakib Al Hasan and this is something not good for them in the long run. They must have 3 to 4 such players in team. Bangladesh is not having good time in cricket, they were down and out in recent T20 WC and now T20 and Test series were also not good for them. In second match they only come near a draw.
