Good batting session for the Aussies there, 5-0 Australia.

So why byes don't count as runs for the batsman is pretty obvious, but why don't they count against the bowler's figures?

Spedman posted:If its not a wide then they should be in position to take it It's not impossible for a ball to be close enough to the batsman to not be a wide, but too wide for the wicketkeeper to reach. Particularly if the bowler is bowling around the wicket.

Also umpires are really reluctant to call leg side wides in tests.

If the bowler is coming round the wicket you'd hope the keeper has positioned himself accordingly, but the exception being a marginal leg-side wide call swinging further I guess.

NZ went from making the WC final to losing against England in the ODI series and now possibly losing to Zimbabwe in an ODI series. Bizarre.

Basically none of our World Cup bowlers are here and they barely played together in England. The batting is still looking quite good but the bowling and fielding has really dropped off. We're still odds on here but without Taylor as well I can't see us winning v SA.

I see Warner has learnt from the first innings with his run a ball 25 so far
