Completely deficient of any actual skill in taking a wicket
I get that it's legal. I get that it's part of the rules. But a tiny piece of my heart breaks seeing this happen at U19s level. I guess this is where the game is going...

Re Joe Root lbw at least 50% of the ball must be pitching on the line of leg stump. There’s no umpires call as it’s an actual ‘fact.’ Marginal but if the computer says yes then it’s yes.

IMO HawkEye got the Crawley lbw spot on. Kuldeep releases from close to the stumps, ball pitched on leg, hit Crawley in front of leg stump and he was right back on his stumps. OUT!

Another reason why
@Jaspritbumrah93
is so difficult to face is because he releases the ball so much nearer to the batter than most fast bowlers (32cm closer to the batter than say Rabada.)

I have looked at the footage and I really don't think Smith was trying to cheat. He is - truly - an honest bloke. I have never heard of anyone trying to scrub out someone else's guard, he was more subconsciously remarking his own as he does every new session.
