not after I've watched the DRS for 3-4 years and hence understood that marginal/umpire calls happen quite a bit....
What is most worrying is the NZ bowlers have not learnt from Brisbane. You'd think after the pasting they took there they'd have realised that 1) the ball is not swinging and 2) they need to bowl differently. But nope, none of that. Same all tripe served up each over.

Boult's going at over 5 an over, there's only so much he can blame the conditions for that.
Look at players like Anderson. When the ball is swinging he's looking to bowl teams out quickly, because those are his conditions. When the ball isn't moving, he makes sure that he hits that line and length every time, keeping the run rate down, and building pressure.
Great bowlers don't get the excuse of unfavourable conditions. He's bowling tripe.

Well it comes back to how reliable to ball tracking is on ones clipping. Otherwise I don't see why the umpire's imperfect split second reaction should get special weight in whether clipping is out/not out. If there is a margin of error that means you can't say with high confidence it would have hit, then I'd just say in all those cases the benefit could go to the batsmen.

Nice continuation from last summer, most runs in a four match series or something to that effect.
I for one am glad Australian pitches are dead.
They could, but they're not. Bracewell is bowling well but we need two bowlers to operate in this fashion. We're leaking runs and giving the Ozzies freebies.

Might be different if you were stood at mid on at 200-1, having stood there for 3 hours praying for a wicket. Very different to knowing when to call for it on the couch.
If it implicitly there for the howler, as so many people keep telling me, then 2 reviews is a nonsense.

Easily the pick of the bowlers.
