I know it's been said but I really can't listen to this Mel Jones.

Ponting, Tubby, Maxwell et al offer something with a certain amount of neutrality but she is SO biased.

I’m going to backtrack on my opinion having seen he replay, crap keeping again by Bairstow.
The margins are so tight, taking the ball right next to the stumps was the only way to get the runout, rather than waiting for it to go past. There was just so little space to work with and he caught the stump fractionally first - to call it crap keeping is so so harsh, it was almost brilliant keeping - and I don't even think the bail was dislodged before the ball was in his hands - which if so would perhaps mean it should have been given out.

Anderson given the new ball again… it’s hard to imagine this isn’t pissing the other bowlers off given the lack of action Jimmy is getting and has been getting throughout the series :shrug:

I was hoping that that had hit the bat to make sure that there wasn't any doubt
