Do you have the numbers for Schumacher vs his team mates?
Don't tell me F1 is boring... Yes, we've seen Hamilton dominate, but this time it's simply Verstappen greatness
I think it is a bit rough to criticise Sharma for that dismissal. The price of batting aggressively is you will get out some times, just as Maxwell did against SA. He should have been able to rely on his lower order to go at more than 4 an over which they were not able to do. Head was able to play with a freedom last night knowing that when Smith failed, Labuschagne was there to anchor the innings, and there was still some batting to come.

Interestingly, Ponting commented literally the over before Head came on that he’d think about giving him a bowl if he was captaining

Storm in a teacup. What do you expect him to say? “yes, my team is much worse than the Australians?”
How about no, Joe: Any way you look at it, this all talk, no action England team not ‘man for man’ better than Aussies
You make the point that Pakistan scored with the DLS threshold in mind. That ignores that by batting aggressively they risked losing wickets, which would have blown the par score out. As another commenter pointed out, they were well ahead of NZ with the same number of wickets down.
COMMENT: It's great for the World Cup - but Pakistan's DLS-assisted win over NZ proves the system needs a rethink
Just have a look at the running metres:
Kamikamica: 66, Welch 65, Loiero 60, King 91, Katoa 90, Eisenhuth 37, NAS 40, Sims 44
By comparison, Leota 121, JFH 150, Sorenson 147, Martin 112, Yeo 210, Leniu 105.
Blaming a half for that seems odd. Switch the halves and I doubt it makes much of a difference to the result. The love child of Sterlo, Johns, Alfie, and Stuart wouldn’t have done much behind that pack.

Yes that was correct. By the rules of the game, that should have been a no ball (https://www.lords.org/mcc/the-laws-of-cricket/the-wicket-keeper)

Outside of South American football, I cannot recall a consistently poorer display of sportsmanship than that of the English side this series. The lowlights include:
-Robinson giving a send off to Khawaja
-Bairstow’s carry on following his stumping, when he had literally attempted an almost identical dismissal in the same match, and a similar example in county cricket. He then went on to make the absurd claim that it set a bad example for children!
-McCullum criticising Carey when he had in his career ran out a man celebrating a partner’s century, and effected a similar stumping (only to be called back by Vettori)
-Broad’s carry on following the stumping
-Root’s whinging about the rain in Manchester to the extent of proposing a rule change to allow England to win
-Stokes claiming a catch he knew full well he hadn’t caught, and then harassing the umpires as they left the field disputing the loss of review, when the rules are very clear this only occurs in the case of a no ball, umpire’s call on LBW, or technical malfunction.
That said, Nasser’s comments about Cummins’ captaincy are correct. When he didn’t have Lyon to rely upon, he looked all out of ideas. They slowed and eventually dismissed Stokes by bowling wide and full at Lord’s, and then bafflingly reverted to bowling short again. The fields were rarely set up for the balls that were delivered.

Garrick is another Lomax – a winger who thinks he should be a centre. Being unable to pass should preclude you from playing centre.
This side is baffling. How a team can beat the Roosters and Penrith (as they showed on Thurs they are still formidable without Cleary) and lose to the Dragons and Raiders, and scrape home against the Titans and Parra (having lose the earlier encounter) escapes me.
