Here's what Noon had to say...
"I've marked the pitch below average for excessive spin on days one and two.
"Days one and two it [the bounce] was fine, the odd one from the spinners on day three might have kept a bit low, but at no stage was there any thought of any unevenness."
"The criteria says it's not how it looks, it's how it plays.
"In my opinion and other people I've asked for their opinion, we've come to the same conclusion that it's excessive turn.
"There's going to be an investigation tomorrow.
"Phil Whitticase, another CLO comes in, he'll conduct an investigation and he will go through my findings and speak to both umpires, both captains and the groundstaff.
"He could downgrade it, he could upgrade it, that's entirely up to him. He looks at the evidence and he makes his own call." -

the whole players being selected for England is a weird one, in that as fans we naturally want to point to our own players for selection when they are playing well, but as soon as they are selected, if they make a fist of it, we never see them again....seems the prudent thing would be to not champion any of our own counties players for England in the long run
