For crying out loud, he's a spinner! How can he be bowling so many no-balls?
He's getting carted around by Gilly too, but at least he ran SRW out.
As long as the rain doesn't interfere, we're going to be in for an awesome
finish.
Best Regards

I cannot understand how a spinner can be bowling as many no-balls as that. I
mean, Cairns is a pace bowler and he's only bowled two no-balls so far!

:Are you talking about Cairns to Gillespie (which wasn't called) or Vettori
:to Warne (which was)?
Wasn't Gillespie caught off a no ball from Vettori?

To Samarth: Although your statement in itself is probably correct, I
think it misses the point Andrew is making. The Laws require, for it
to be a fair delivery, that in the delivery stride "the bowler's front
foot must land with some part of the foot, whether grounded or raised,
behind the popping crease." The phrase "whether grounded or raised"
can cause problems for the umpire, because it is legal for the front
heel to be in the air when the front foot lands, even though nothing
is grounded behind the popping crease, as long as the umpire is
satisfied that the raised heel is breaking the plane of the popping
crease in the air. However, the determination is more difficult in
close cases with such a bowler. Fortunately for us umpires, at least
in my own experience, the vast majority of bowlers land their front
foot with the heel flat on the ground, and to that extent I think that
you are missing the point of what Andrew is saying. I have not seen
Vettori bowl, but I believe Andrew is saying that Vettori makes the
job more difficult for the umpires by not grounding the heel of his
front foot in the delivery stride. If true, that is a relevant thing
to point out, and your comment does not really address it.
Take it easy,
