Without better technology when it's too close to tell, i propose the umpires toss a coin with the bowler and batsmen both calling then go on the result of that :P

Hussey gets given but that is not out???

Hussey probably should have got the benefit too, but I think his had more evidence of touching the glove than that did.

Two wrongs don't make a right and all that sort of thing.

Really when your playing sport at an international level they should enforce all boards to provide Hot Spot at all test matches, no excuse at what's meant to be the highest level

In this case I think it does. Umpiring in cricket is all about being consistent so both sides are given a fair advantage.

Bananas.

Classic stuff.

Tough call to overturn. The players know what is available so if they want to challenge those sorts of calls it's up to them. The bowling has been good so far, not much luck around though.

WTF is Tony Greig on about? Prefer when the guy is flogging Cricket Australia old tat and bigging up Underbelly.

 

[TumTum]

**** off Hughes.

 

[Ruckus]

Hughes' fielding makes Xavier Doherty look like Ricky Ponting.

Yeah i said earlier it shouldn't be given out and i guess the captains do know whats available, but the big problem still is at the International level they should be able to have consistent technology at every ground

ffs can't let those slip

His arm is pretty poor for a test level player. Not used to that in an Aussie.

I'm not sure that's ever going to happen, you can see why the Indians don't fancy technology when it's all over the place provision wise.

Daryl Harper not being around should automatically help tech be applied more accurately though. I've never seen such weird **** going on as when he was the third ump.

 

[TT Boy]

Shot.

Pretty easy to score at the moment, would like to see Lyon on now.

clarke has been captaining really well, none of the wierd tactics from the ashes. has helped we have been taking loads of wickets, so this is interesting. good move bringing on lyon

Not just his on field decisions either, I like that when he isn't on the field he actually watches the game and looks to be invested in it, not just phoning it in when required to do something.

we are asking lots of questions too when we get a wicket we will get a few. hope the rain stays away, seems like we are playing in pomgolia
