Morning.
Just a brief run-through this morning, am a little utw.
Numbers were OK last night. Not great, not even good really, but certainly OK?
The cricket? Don't really know what to say. To be fair, we were very unlucky pre-Lunch, especially the Stokes no-ball. And in even worse news, it seemed to me that Stokes injured his right knee quite badly chasing a boundary. It never rains. Talking of which, that's about all that can save us now, a few days rain.
I thought the criticism of Leach was a little off the mark. He was put on to buy a wicket, & it was never going to be easy for him on a Day 2 wicket against world-class batsmen. It was expected he'd get carted, & he did. Looked to me like he'd left his famous spectacles at home too.
It can only get better now. Right?

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£1,008)
A nice introduction to the Results Thread for Redshane, winning 7 @ 7, from anglinedge, who was playing just their 4th MTT since September.
karlluke was back in her early evening comfort zone after her late night exploits in Sunday's Turbo, with heavy-hitters Monty15 in fifth & Tuesday's Turbo winner seikus in 6th.

I don't want to keep eulogising about splashies, folks will think I have a crush on him, but in the last few months he's won 4 Megas, 3 7 @ 7's, two Reloads, & now he's topped it off with a Main. 300 MTT wins? I'm guessing that's come & gone.

Bit of an alias range-merge here, with a 1-2 of Alexa & alex. A few years ago all the poker theorists were banging on about "range-merging" but thankfully they have moved on now to stuff like GTO. Which really works at the recreational level. Well, some think it does, bless them.

With England getting a good hiding in the first Ashes Test, BACKFOOT is perhaps a strikingly topical alias. Well done Mr Foot though, especially as this was his sole featured MTT win since he took down 7 @ 7 in the late spring.
On Tuesday, Collabo ran 2nd in the Main, & here he is taking 3rd in Mega. He'll be able to offer coaching soon.

nishg completed a 3 month hat-trick of Turbo wins. In the same period, he's won a Reload, a Mega, 2 Quickdraws, a £6k BH & twice been 3rd in Summit. Clearly very useful, to say the least.

I'm not sure I agree. How does a bowler actually KNOW he is over-stepping?
It's quite a story actually;
In Stokes' fourth ball of the innings, he bowled Australia opener David Warner - who was on 17 at the time - only for the decision to be overturned by the TV umpire for a front-foot no-ball.
Replays then showed the seamer had overstepped the mark on the three previous deliveries, but was unaware of the misjudgement in his run-up as no-balls were not signalled by the on-field umpire.
"It would have been nice for his first ball to have been called a no-ball so he could have then made an adjustment and his front foot would have been behind the line," Lewis said.
"What a fast bowler needs is some kind of understanding where his feet are because obviously you can't see your own feet."
In total, Stokes bowled 14 undetected no-balls in his first five overs. The only one called correctly was the one from the TV umpire which overturned Warner's dismissal.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting, speaking on TV commentary, labelled on-field umpires Paul Reiffel and Rod Tucker "pathetic" as Warner went on to score 94.
Since February 2020, TV umpires have been tasked with checking for front-foot no-balls for each delivery in a Test, however England and Australia were both informed the technology is not working for the first Ashes Test.
While the on-field umpires are responsible for making no-ball calls throughout an innings, the TV umpire does still retrospectively check no-balls for each wicket.
