That's irrelevant, if it touches the ground it's not out.

i wondered if the 'neutral' home umps would raise their finger as often for LBW's knowing umpires call would save them..

To be honest I thought it touched the ground, however considering the soft signal was out. I’m a little surprised that they only looked at one angle
I was under the impression that if you have control of the ball it's out

Should have looked at all the angles before giving it.
There was one in our innings, might have been Leach's wicket, that looked like it hit the ground, but amazingly they didn't seem to get a good angle on the replay. And they didn't zoom in. And they didn't have the proper slow mo (frames were missing).

Really miss woakes and Buttler lower down the order. Understand it’s difficult to really drop broad or Anderson and Archer offers something extra.

With the Leach dismissal they eventually used the stump camera which, from a lower angle, clearly showed the catch was cleanly taken. Wasn't done for the Stokes catch - perhaps it wasn't possible with him stood deeper but the 3rd umpire was too quick to give not out.
I seem to recall that many years ago the late Tony Greig did an experiment which clearly proved that the ball often appears to touch the ground when it has been cleanly caught, due to the camera angle. The Leach dismissal was a good example of that.

I really don’t get the point of umpires call.
Yep, they've certainly had the lion's share of the umpire calls go their way.

One of them (Broad/Anderson/Archer) should have been left out for this one, that’s assuming Stokes can bowl. Somehow we look a batsman short and a spinner short, a weird selection. Mind you, 2 of your top 3 going for a duck is hard to come back from.
This commentary is the cricket equivalent of Mark Lawrenson's predictions where Liverpool don't lose a game for about 9 years. It's unreal.
