Powell actually bowled pretty damn well today IMO. Was dire in his first two overs or so but he grew an extra leg after he took that wicket.

Let's not forget, "give us a ****n replay!" on Flynns LBW, lol.

Oh Finally an Indian Umpire in the Elite League??? I don't think anyone's been there except Venkatraghavan and that was a decade back.
What other "goof-ups" other than Flynn dismissal by the ump?
As to the delays, You should've watched the Ind-SL series. The review system was used and sometimes abused by the captains and even completely non-lbws were unsuccessfully referred. I remember in the third test match, there were two successive referrals for lbw against Tendulkar who had just come into the crease, which took away around 6 minutes in total and whacked his concentration, and was out ironically lbw a little while later.
But things like that make it a bit better for bowlers. And even though it has it's drawbacks, I think the Referral system is for the good of the game.

It should be interesting to see how much it brings scores down.. If you think, every marginal LBW can now be given out

Well played to Flynn. I didn't really rate him before now, thought he was in the side too early, but he's thrived on the extra responsibility in this test.
As much as it wanted to make me cry, I like the refferal system. Whilst its something Richard would come up with (and I find that quite funny), its going to be a big help and just think, if it had been around in 2000 we would have won that Perth test in Australia, for example.
Vettori's amount of wickets will increase with this new toy now that he can get some front foot LBWs.
Ryder is going nicely, Taylor has become rather silly again, How
and McIntosh is trying his best to prove Crowe wrong and me right.

Flynn did O.K, but this pitch is extremely flat offering no swing or movement of any kind. I can see McCullum getting a big score and Gayle in Windies innings getting a big score on a pitch like this.
May i just say Baker selection is a joke. What does that guy bring to the Windies attack - nothing and with a ridiculous first class average what were the Windies thinking in that selection. Quite looking forward to seeing Windies bat. I think there will be fireworks from Gayle and Marshall, also, i am quite looking forward to seeing Nash bat. Lets see what the aussie can do.

I can probobly see at least one wicket go down, west indies have a new ball and fresh bowlers, could be dangerous for McCullum and Ryder.

There's a good chance they may lose a wicket or two, however, I don't think the new ball will be a particularly lethal weapon on this pitch. It did very little on the opening day with the new ball, and providing Ryder and McCullum take some time to get themselves in today, they could well enjoy the new ball coming on a bit quicker and certainly firing off to the boundary much quicker.
Think Taylor is key with the new ball. He is WI's best bowler and he must get it right, while he was fairly economical yesterday he wasn't penetrative enough, but that probably says more about the track than his bowling.

I'm much classier than that. I would have been asking Brendan Nash if he felt inadequate in the showers.
