that was so unbelievably close to pitching on the edge of the leg stump line, wouldn't have called it a howler that's for sure

They are. The speedo's have been off for all the seamers; Johnson was timed in the early 80's as well.

Haddin doesn't look comfortable this morning. Feet aren't moving, just appears to be throwing his hands at the ball. Would like to see us nip him out quickly before he settles though. Still backing Prior to have a better series.

General consensus seems to be that the speed gun is a bit off. The Aussie bowlers were also a bit down on their usual speeds in the previous innings.

Thank god for the review system. Best team will win as opposed to the luckiest. Without it Australia would be getting raped.

Haddin you lucky ****, just let one through you mug. No one likes you anyway.

I'm in work at 9, please England make my lack of sleep between now and then worthwhile.

Why blame the speedgun? Have a look of the camber of the run-in to the crease, would be hard to really let go on The Gabba. Most guys are 5Km/h+ down on their average speeds up there. Pretty sure even Tait hasn't been past 150 in Bris.

I reckon (hypothetically, of course :dry:) if the England bowlers were bowling to the England batsmen, we'd be out for 150.

I do love how all the pom fans are saying how crap the review system is. Don't you wanna win/lose fair and square? You'll be loving it later on when it works for you.
