What an utterly appalling howler from Doctrove. How do you get to be an international umpire and not give out something hitting in line and going on to strike middle about 8 inches up?

You sit up all ****ing night watching blokes toil away on a ****house wicket, then a bloke deceives a well-set player with a beauty, and you get that. The man's ********.

Well that LBW decision will be brought up if Pietersen makes a big hundred and Australia don't win the match.

And now the error's complicated by Collingwood getting out. Should've been two in two overs for Hilf.

**** me drunk, how Dickinson or any other buffoon can't be in favour of third umpire referrals is beyond me.

Having rewound it and watched it "live" again twice after seeing the replays, there's just enough doubt for me to make the umpire's decision understandable.

What? It was missing off and leg, but not middle. It was diabolical ffs.

Australia are lucky that they got rid of a set Paul Collingwood, its not usual of him to get out once he's set, usually goes onto turn his substantial starts into three figures, so that definitely was a key break for Australia in the given circumstances.

His conversion rate isn't the best tbh
