The much maligned Alex Hales is second only to Steve Smith for runs scored in ODIs his year.

It says a lot that the England v Iceland thread has almost twice as many posts as this one for the first three ODIs.

Great start for SL. This is what England's ODI cricket is supposed to be like.

Why does the umpire have that plastic shield on his arm?

Why is WASP only showing 23% for England?, they are ahead of the rate and only one wicket down. I think they'll do it.

To protect him, rather than wearing a helmet. There was an incident last year where an umpire was killed after being struck by the ball.

Ah right. Think he might be better wearing a helmet as well. In fact all umpires should wear protection.

There was an umpire who did wear a helmet in a T20 game recently. I prefer the shield option as there isn't the risk of obstructing the view.

They could let the bowlers go home the way these two are batting.
