Bancroft signed up to play country cricket, hopefully puts him in a good position for an Ashes return

What a redemption arc if he replaces Warner and actually succeeds in England. Hollywood level stuff.

David Boon
Mike Gatting
Inzamam Ul-Huq
Arjuna Ranatunga
Mark Cosgrove
Jesse Ryder
Mohamaed Shahzad
Shane Warne (feels harsh putting him in here)
Rahkeem Cornwall
Merve Hughes
Dwayne Leverock

Shahzad seems to be heavier than Akmal was

Craig Simmons if it's a T20 match

I don’t understand, do the laws of the game now require the bails to light up for a run out to count? Because surely you can give that out without that.

I'm with you here.
Since when is the flashing bail a requirement? I thought it was just an entertainment for the crowd thing.

That is the close to the worst decision i've ever seen in cricket. With a faulty bail like that the only thing he could have done (and he'd have had no way of knowing the bail was faulty) would have been to grab the bail with ball in hand as that overrides things like this. (it's also used for runouts where the stumps have already been broken)
