Fast bowlers will run from further away to get more speed on the ball and spinners will run from close but sometimes at an angle to help with the spin.

Longer run up kinda generates a higher speed when bowling.
Also, the ball isn't thrown, it's bowled, the bowler's arm must remain straight during the bowling action, the arm can't be bent more than a certain angle (15 degrees, once the arm is above shoulder height)

Umpires should be able to make use of the technology themselves if they are not sure. All that money spent on it and it's only used once by each team (in this format).
They'd end up reviewing everything like they do with run outs and semi-dodgy catches. The system works fine. That was an absolute howler from the ump but Bairstow fucked the review so blah
Would that matter if the right decision was made? It's not like cricket is a fast paced game like football anyway.
semi finals and finals should have two reviews per team just like in test matches. the stakes are way too high to worry about finishing games on time.
that said, bairstow shouldve never reviewed that LBW. it hit him on the back leg and he shouldve known he didnt hit it.
It was never sure fire. We are a better team than them, just had a few off days. Especially at this ground.
I wonder how happy people would have been if this match was much closer?
Also I called this before England's innings started :-)
Should probably up the reviews per team back up to two though.
England have been the best team for a year or so and people actually thought it would be a India/aus final ? 🙈
As an Aussie, yes it's been a horrible match. Bowlers chucking pies down leg side or half volleys too far outside off.
We have been dismantled.
We peaked too early in the Comp this time, but whilst I'd believe we had the ability to go all the way, this side isn't as good as past campaigns.
Will be rooting for the Kiwis in the final, anytime England fail to win a major title is a good result.

One review for each team is fine. I meant that if the umpire is not sure they can quickly check, would take the pressure off the umpires. The umpire hesitated with Roy's wicket and puffed out his cheeks, he wasn't sure at all.
Yeah thats reasonable. They get the replay very quickly so if there is doubt within the umpires mind no reason not to check it. If this match had been a closer affair then the talking point at the end would be that decision and i dont think that should be the case.
Shoaib running in when he was in full flow was like nothing else.
Hope the mens goes better than the womens. Aussies are dominating.
I would be shocked if it didn't.. not sure the two are really comparable.
I remember when his runup was longer than the distance to the boundary. Perhaps the most comical thing you will see.
Jason Roy and the Australians obviously forgot to bring the sandpaper for this game.
True. He provides such impetus to the start of their innings.
As everyone else said Jason Roy is huge for england. Apart from the fact james vince is shite bairstow plays infinitely better when opening with roy.
I also think England lost some of their mojo coming into this tournament. The pitches weren't what they were used to, the pressure of a home world cup, whatever happened with Hales, Archer coming in at the last minute and taking Willey's place. Beating India and NZ back to back gave them their self-belief back.
That's offensive...
The most comical is when, after that run, he'd end up blowing wide at 100mph, which would end up as a four.
