Not sure how these things work but would he not be entitled to compensation if he were to win? Its horrendous for all involved and I hope they all eventually get some closure, but it seems Gale is trying to run away from the problem, but that won't mean that he escapes scot free should he be found guilty

maybe, but he said he's expecting a kangaroo court and a nailed on loss. sometimes you have to not fight. sounds like he's not expecting any more of a career within cricket.

Good day's test cricket that, evenly poised now, early wickets needed tomorrow.
 
wtf??????????

bumrah has just set a new test record for most runs in an over - 29. and there were 6 extras off it as well.

not the kind of thing one would expect with broad bowling.

Not sure, was some proper brainless bowling with a new ball by Broad.

Didn't Gary Sobers do 6x6's in a over or was that for Nottinghamshire?
 
Lifted from the Guardian commentary,

Stuart Broad now has the world record for conceding most runs in an over in both Tests and T20Is. 35 runs vs Bumrah Edgbaston 2022 36 runs vs Yuvraj Durban 2007
 
the previous record of 28 off an over was held jointly by three players.

the three bowlers involved included one j.anderson and one j.root. yes, three of the current england team have been carted for three of the worst four tallies from an over in tests.

mind you, i can't criticise. i once got taken for 25 off an over. i thought it was 27 at the time but learned that delivery 2 had landed a foot inside the boundary. with the later deliveries, i made sure they bounced several times before reaching the batsman. sadly i was one of few on that team that could bowl an over without too many wides. i slightly redeemed myself in the 12th over by taking a catch, by which time the player involved, a former warwickshire trialist, had already reached a hundred.

Either the umpire was being kind to you or didn't know the laws ot cricket. Deliveries that bounce multiple times before reaching the batsman should be called as no-balls. You could have conceded more.
