Well that was an odd one! They need to review this review law ! If the ball is hitting the stumps it should be given out , no matter how much of the ball is hitting ! To give it not out is clearly a wrong decision .....if you are going to use technology this umpire's call business needs to be changed ....out is out

Well funnily enough I plant my spring onions in the autumn to over winter and they are ready early summer ......off topic I know ! Same here with my Alium and Tulip bulbs I just found his reply funny, even though he was actually wrong. As usual. With that review there, for me the 3rd Umpire should have said "Tony, have you given that LBW or Caught Behind?" if Tony Hill says "Caught Behind" then you check that with hot spot and sound and that's it. You don't check an LBW after because that leads to all kinds of confusion and that's not why he's given it out. Is this " Gardener's Question Time ?"

The standard of cricket this series has been very poor At times yes .....particularly from England , we have only played at about 65% of our ability .....we should be out of sight by now.....but it has made things a little more interesting to the spectator

I still think Tremlett would be a handful on here ....I hope Bresnan proves me wrong though

Yeah i'd like Onions on here getting movement from a good and full length. That whole procedure by the 3rd Umpire was right apparently. They dealt with the LBW as if it had been given Not Out therefore it would stay with the on field decision which was essentially not out. As i type this Broad is on fire!!

Great Spell by Broad! The procedure was correct mate ...I just disagree with it .....why should the decision stay with the on the field Umpire as not out .....when the technology clearly shows the ball is hitting the stumps ?....it should be out , no question about it ....it's an area that needs a re think

Shocking review! England have been congratulating themselves about their ability to judge reviews and they decide to review a ball that pitched nearly 6 inches outside leg stump. To be fair it didn't look that wide in real time Not sure I agree. Even on my little telly I had turned down the appeal in realtime. In a series of fairly dreadfully optimistic reviews that was probably the worst, which is saying something! The double review of Rogers was an interesting one. With DRS confirming he had not hit the ball, if he had then been given out LBW would Australia have lost a review? I agree with you that we missed a trick not picking Tremlett.

Well it's debatable of course ....an interesting point you make about the Australians losing their review ? In essence it was a different decision .....I' m not sure really ? It's yet another grey area that DRS has thrown up

We are 2-0 up in this series and notionally at least cruising but with 14 fewer runs in the first test and some half decent weather on the last day at Old Trafford we'd be 2-1 down. Marry that with the fact that we have been on the back foot since Lords and the Australians seem to have worked out quite a few of our batsmen, throw in a bit of home advantage for the follow on series down under and I reckon the game will be well and truly up for our boys

The reason it got down to only 14 runs at Trent Bridge was down to two last wicket partnerships and a terrible non stumping decision which you can't legislate for.....dont forget they would have been 119 all out and we would have won by around 80 or 90 runs ....there are always ifs and buts and we have never really looked like going 2-1 down in all honesty apart from a couple of scares

Well that's one of the luckiest half centuries i've seen. He's done well to dig in of course but how on earth is Rogers not been out yet. Blimey!

What's happened to Anderson? He's bowling steady enough mate , but there is not much swing for him .....it's doing it off the pitch ...Broad has bowled really well , getting lots of movement

Stuck in a sweat box of a cafe in Lagos with wi-fi on my ipad. It's a bit odd that we're 2 - 0 up after 3 tests and yet things feel so insecure? It's like we're going at it a bit half-arsed for some reason? Saw the 4th wicket in a pub and thought 76-4 seemed a bit more like it but these two have doubled the score. Need another purple patch from Broad sooner rather than later.
