Think that's a tad harsh. I stand to be corrected, but to the best of my knowledge the production company is largely the same as 4 used, just that they're being paid by someone different now. |

I'll hold my hands up on that, then, if it's true. I wasn't aware of that, I just saw Sky introduce hawkeye after 4, I seem to remember it being under a different name at the time as well, although that could be my mind playing tricks on me!
I do think that 4 started a lot of the innovations, Simon Hughes as third man and analyst, explaining things about the game to the masses. I do think Sky's coverage is good, I just don't like the added influence they have over differing sports. |

There were two versions of what we all now call Hawkeye that were used in parallel, but once the ICC ratified Hawkeye and not the other one (name escapes me) for DRS purposes, there was only one system that was going to be used.
I agree that 4 started a lot of the things we now take for granted and while you have a point regarding Sky's influence, we're not all evil or hell-bent on world domination! |

I mean that I am, but I'm sure there's someone in the office that doesn't.

Indeed, it was superb, had a great team working on it. |

Div 2 promotion race bubbling along nicely. It's entirely possible that Derbyshire - I still remain to be convinced that it's a real county, but hey ho - could spaff this up quite spectacularly.
Meanwhile, it's Bairstow and Woakes for Trott and Finn. Ravi-Bop to bat at 3. So that'll be.... yeah.
Ryan McLaren and Tsotsobe out for the Saffers. Morne back and Justin Ontong added in their stead. England won toss and bat first.

If Trott wasn't injured today, I wonder if he'd have got a game. Bairstow, Buttler and others all demanding inclusion. |

Ravi not on his own in getting himself out. Poor shots from Bairstow, Morgan and now Cook. Trouble at 99/5.

this is village green stuff - players actually get paid to produce shots like these ?
