No doubt he'll claim it was to aim for the leg-side stumping, but it was much too far for Buttler to collect.wtf was that by root

I'm OK with it, fwiw. I remember England playing a series in the WI back in 2009 where the previous rules, iirc, basically said that if there was any doubt the batsman wasn't out. The result, what seemed like lots of LBWs overturned because the ball was only seen to be clipping the stumps. The current system avoids that sort of nonsense, and if the 3rd umpire got ti wrong with the Smith wicket, that's a separate matter.
As for the limit to the number of reviews, only if it's umpire's call. If not, I'm happy with them losing it. I could envisage situation where it was simply a time-wasting tactic otherwise.
Bounce imo. His biggest weakness against the offies is the back foot, angled bat prod to the ball waaay too close to force through the off side comfortably. Got him last Test iirc, and he's always liable to edge behind or guide it to slip.

I think Australia will come out again after tea, just really briefly.

Why would we bat out three days? Bat five sessions, match Australia's score, stick them into bat, blow them away. Easy.

Good day from Broad here. Bit late but turned the innings from an English perspective from nightmarish to merely bad.
Fantastic from TPC and Rogers obv. Need more from the rest of the bats though.
Will be very interesting this session. Especially looking at the clouds.

I suspect they were hoping Johnson wouldn't hole out so soon...plus also Lee and Taylor were talking about the mental effect of not declaring at straight at tea.
