He regreted doing it the moment he sigalled.
Finally they get a run. Only 323 more to go.

Re: 3rd Test Old Trafford
Perhaps there's a precedent that no hotspot isn't enough to overturn a caught behind.
Pieterson given out, snicko is clear but not hotspot, decision appears to hold based on the audio (Snicko not used of course).

Re: 3rd Test Old Trafford
"4,40pm So much for the 5pm inspection, play has been abandoned and England retain the Ashes! The players appear on the balcony to take the applause from the spectators left in the ground as the good news for the hosts appears on the big screen. England have secured the series after just three matches for only the second time in history, the previous occasion being 1928-29."
From the Cricinfo website. So 3 tests in and the Ashes are lost. We have been competitive in 2 out of the 3 and in a winning position in at least 1 (Old Trafford). The Lords test was a debarcle, but Trent Bridge could have gone either way. For me it augers well for the Summer in Australia. Time not to settle on a line up to take us forward and back the guys in.
Big weakness for us is a quality spinner. Agar is raw and doesn't turn it enough. Lyon is inconsistent and leaks runs. Not an overly impressive performance at Old Trafford.
Batting wise, I like Warner in the team. Preferably coming in at the top of the order. Khawaja deserves another go, got a shocker in the 1st innings and the 2nd was all about scoring quickly.
Quick bowling wise, Harris looks spent, so maybe jackson Bird steps on down, or Lyon makes way for Jackson as Durham is supposed to be a seames paradise.Comment

Re: 3rd Test Old Trafford
He goes at an ER of 3.1 at test level which is pretty respectable.
The two best 'offies' in world cricket at present would be Swann & Ashwin.. Both go at about 2.9 so Lyon isn't that fair away from these 2.
Lyon might might not be up to it, but leaking runs isn't a major concern.Comment

Re: 3rd Test Old Trafford
I'm more worried about Lyon's wicket taking ability than his economy. 1/103 this test. We don't have a Shane Warne on the books, so I think we need to continue playing whoever is in good form at the time.
Harris on the other hand took 4/97 (Cook, Bell & Trott twice), I think he has earnt his spot for the next test.If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Monty Panesar, the England cricketer, has apologised after urinating on bouncers who had ejected him from a nightclub.
The 31-year-old had been partying at the Shooshh club on Brighton’s beachfront, which was hosting a Gay Pride event.
But when a group of women complained he was hassling them, the spin-bowler was asked to leave.
He then went up to the promenade above the club and relieved himself on the bouncers, The Sun reported.
After realising what had happened, the men chased after him, cornering him in a nearby pizza parlour, where he was heard shouting “Help! Help!”
Securing him in an arm-lock, they hauled him back to the club and called police, who reportedly fined him £90 for the incident in the early hours of Monday.
A Sussex Police spokesman said: "A 31-year-old man received a fixed penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly after being seen urinating in public near the Shooshh Club in King's Road Arches, Brighton, around 4.13am on Monday."
Panesar, who lives in nearby Hove, subsequently apologised.
His county club, Sussex, is understood to have launched an investigation.
The cricketer’s spokesman said: "Monty would like to apologise unreservedly for any offence caused."
Panesar was picked for the England squad that held on to the Ashes in Manchester on Monday, but he did not play.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: 3rd Test Old Trafford
Australia and England face claims of DRS cheating
Australia and England are reportedly under investigation by the ICC over allegations their batsmen are using silicone tape on their bats to beat the decision review system.
In the latest umpiring controversy this series, concerns were raised after Kevin Pietersen's dismissal in the final innings of the third Test where the batsman unsuccessfully tried to have a decision overturned by the video umpire.
The attempt failed despite the infrared Hot Spot technology not recording an edge, though sound detectors picked up a clear noise as the ball passed the bat.
Channel Nine has reported the ICC sent its director of cricket operations, Geoff Allardice, to Durham this week to meet both sides in an effort to clarify confusion over DRS, which has marred the series.
Advertisement There have been suggestions in the past that players apply substances such as Vaseline on the edges of their bat in a bid to avoid any edges being detected by Hot Spot.
How it works
* Silicon tape contains a thin layer of adhesive gel that fuses with the surface of an object - such as a cricket bat.
* By attaching transparent silicone tape to the edge of a bat’s blade, the outer willow surface of the bat would become much more smooth.
* The ‘‘heat’’ identified by an infrared camera like Hotspot is generated by friction. The ball strikes the bat at speed and grates along the surface of the wood.
* In theory, a bat treated with silicon tape would have a much smoother surface area than a standard bat, so less friction would be generated by a snick, and therefore less heat would be detected.
Sounds like DRS is more trouble than it's worth...Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell
