There's some things the that Poms should like about Bazball but the thing that could work against them is the amount of time that they keep the opposition bowlers in the field.
In a congested series of back to back tests, the Poms have already bowled 64.2 overs more than the Aussies - if that continues it will begin to takes its toll across successive tests - or they'll have to rotate bowlers hard, and i'm not sure they've got the bowling depth to back that option.

He hasn’t handed back but he had started to unclip it
If you watch the footage the main umpire wasn’t looking when the bails were knocked off and then stops, turns and looks up which is obviously when this still photo is taken
Carey is already at the stumps, this photo is at least a few seconds after the stumps are hit. Evidence being that he already has the hat off the clip they wear it on by this stage.

So he's getting ready to call over but he hasn't called it.
It like footy it's not when the Siren sounds but when one of the umpires hear it.
I know myself when umpiring sh!te cricket as a player I'm holding out the hat as I call over more often than not. I'm waling to hold the hat whilst checking to make sure the ball is dead.
There's no set routine.
We can argue day and night until the next controversy about the complete fictional notion of the "Spirit of Cricket", what is indisputable is that this was a decision made within the laws.

As a sh!tty wicket keeper, ah yes we do if a batsman is not staying in his crease until over has been called.
but it's done with risk as a it may lead to a bye if I miss or it deflects aw away from a fielder.
What's the difference between me coming up to the stumps to keep a batsman in his crease and to increase chances of an LB vs throwing a ball at the stumps to try and get rid of a lazy batsman?
The batsman has every right to take liberties but I've got the right to keep them honest.

I believe the McCallum/Collingwood stumping the umpire had called over. The bowlers end umpire was clearly not aware that play was continuing, he couldve easily had called over sometime between the ball leaving Careys hands and it hitting the stumps.

Can we stop the fielders throwing the ball to the keeper after they field it every time.
Not so bad when the pacemen are on as they are still going back to their mark but when the spinners were on they end up at there mark waiting for the ball to get back to them coz they’re throwing it the keeper 9/10 times
All we need to do is save 10 seconds an over….1 and a bit seconds a ball and we will save a few overs worth of time over the course of the day.
