Yup, that was a shocker and a half, wasn't it. Another contender is Gatting being given LBW to Qadir in the infamous 1987 series; IIRC it hit him outside off and was turning away from him as well. Apart from that, no problems.
Confession time. When I made my previous post I'd only glimpsed the Broad dismissal on the news and hadn't realised that it had gone to 1st slip via the keeper's gloves - I genuinely thought he had leathered it straight to first slip. Ah well.

Stoopid media driven controversies aside, I hope this Test has set the tone for the series. I think a lot of people in Pomgolia (and Oz!) underestimated us and while I expect we will lose the series, I expect us to make every match a bloody tough contest.

I'm tipping England all out by lunchtime with a 325 run lead. Australia should score about 150 runs during the next 2 sessions.
If we're only 2-3 wickets down at the close of play then it will be a nail biter tomorrow. If we're 4 wickets down or more then I think that England should mop up the lower order as it's unlikely Agar will be able to repeat his performance on a dry wicket with cracks opening up.
However, if Clarke bats himself in, then anything can happen provided that couple of batsman stick with him.

Used the review on Bairstow - it was a horrible decision as it was never out and he was never likely to score any runs
This day will tell the result
Oz will either be very few for plenty in their chase or lots down for not many at the close of play
Know what I have my money on

A draw is out of the question unless we bat for a really long time today

Surely AB assumed Dar's issue was with the catch, not the edge?
MrPrez

Yeah, for me, if you guys bat until tea, the draw is an option. Could well happen with Swann still to come, though it may seem unlikely.
More than anything, the romantic in me envisions that being the final twist of the day

Probably, but forget about AB, surely right there Dar has made one of the worst decisions of all time?
MrPrez
International Debutant
Again though, I'd say Dar's reason for not giving it would have to be that he thought SRT grounded it.
Surely...

If Clarke makes a big score then we'll very likely win tbh, assuming the total is reasonable - not just because that alone will get us close, but because everyone tends to lift around him. On the other hand, his second innings record isn't flash in the last year or two.

I guess people are getting bored and restless waiting for the cricket - willing to post anything, btw, you might be mod material

That doesn't make him any less of a CWebber to you, he's correct as well.
