Much needed wicket that Yes but we are doing ok ....they are bound to get a reasonable score at some point in the series you would assume

Oh you lucky bugger! Yet again, give that out and it's reviewed it's out. Not out and it's reviewed it's not out.

I agree, 9 times out of 10 an on-field Umpire would give that out, and rightly so.

Definite sound.....

Hard to imagine what the sound was other than the bat .....certainly not pad or the bat hitting the ground ....

Even at the moment I feel, I was slightly concerned this morning but we've pegged them back a bit. A couple of wickets and we're very much in this.
Clarke is the key man, and I feel the first domino.

A couple of their batsmen were bound to come off at some point though ...as you say though another wicket could bring a couple more

It looked right for LBW in real time, and to his credit Tony Hill took his time, just seemed to hesitate at the last second, desperately close. Chances are there though.

Jim Maxwell says to Michael Vaughan "That's the first time in this series that England have used up all their reviews before Australia"
Michael Vaughan "You don't win a little urn for that"

All in all it's not been a bad day in the cricket. That's my educated guess.

It hasn't been a very good series so far for the review system. How can a noise that loud not produce a hotspot? Mind you, we all know by now that Erasmus is both deaf and blind?

Apparently when conditions are hot and the temperatures are high it can cause the hot spot system to work a bit spasmodically ......not a lot of good really is it ? It was quite obvious that he hit it , nothing else it could have been .....it's either the technology that is faulty or how the umpires interpret it , or more than likely both , but it needs sorting out soon...it's poor at the moment

Because it doesn't work as described (hot spot, camera angles, snicko) when a call is close it just leads to 5 minutes of interpretation, rather than 30 secs by the umpire. And, even after 5 minutes, there's still debate about a lot of calls. I told them this would be the case ... but do they listen to me ... do they fk

I welcome the drs it has helped greatly too amend some serious mistakes by the umpires, but the rule that 50%of the ball has to be hitting the stumps is ridiculous surely 10% is more than adequet. pisser the aussies whinging cant remember them whinging when trot was out first test? my bet on England 5-0 looks to be scuppered now [though you never know] also had a cheeky bet at 40/1 for eng 2-0 given that the aussies were going to try and bat and not give their wickets away and the English weather this could be a very shrewed move on my part.?

Agreed about the 50% bit of the ball hitting the stumps....it's plain nonsense , if the the replay shows the ball to be hitting the stumps, then it is out , no matter what % of the ball is hitting ...to give it not out is confirming the wrong decision that caused it to be reviewed in the first place ! Out is out end of story .

With these pitches they are preparing ( loaded in the batsmans favour ) its really surprising that its 2-0 already, only is because the Australians have been so poor.....this pitch has a draw written all over it ( should have ) unless it really turns sharply from day three which it may, there is certainly nothing there for seam bowlers only aching shoulders
