No; it's their unlucky day in terms on on-field umpiring decisions. UDRS is not a set of random numbers which favours one side or the other through luck, as much as you like to think it is.
Really don't think he was implying that though, tbf. Just think he was pointing out that it's Australia's lucky day wrt to with the Aussies getting their reviews right.

At the risk of getting into a really boring semantics arugment, doesn't that just mean they were really unlucky with the decisions that went against them?

although the abdv one was definitely fair enough not to give.

I don't think getting your reviews right is "lucky" though, especially since he wasn't talking about the actual reviews they've made given he cited the un-taken Watson one.

It could be argued that none of those decisions overturned were shockers. Also you wouldn't complain about them being given. Something in favour of the bowlers can't be all bad though, except maybe for the caterers in house
