This Ravi umpire has made some blunders this match.

Anyway, I don't much agree with current ruling. If he gave the batsman not out and England referred Anderson would still be at the wicket, but since he was given out it stays with the umpire. How can you have the same ball have two different implications. The batsman should be given benefit of the doubt if only the outer part of the ball is hitting irrespective of the umpire's on field call or you give him out however narrowly it hits. It's one way or the other. If you aren't 100% confident in the accuracy of Hawkeye then I feel the batsmen should always be given benefit of the doubt if the ball is not hitting more than half ball.

I suppose it's based on the relatively recent convention that whenever the ump goes upstairs, the benefit of doubt goes to the ump (his original decision ie.)?

How do you play around a straight one when you are trying to save a game and average 20 in FC cricket?

Caps off a really poor test for Craig. Duck in the first innings, carted around the park and not much in the second.

Right, Matt Henry to stun us with his batting ability.
