***Official*** 5th Test at the SCG

Inside edge? Bull****

IMO that's going down anyway

yeah clearly it was a **** decision but how tf do you decide that's an edge

 

[Howsie]

He didn’t ****ing hit that

 

[Spark]

That's just a really bad display of umpiring all around. Total shambles that lucked onto the correct decision eventually

 

[Burgey]

Rookie bowlers really do seem to come to Australia for the purpose of undergoing a character test.

Funny on the replay, you can see the English players barely even celebrated. Probably because they knew it was going to be reversed.

DRS has really taken the excitement of the moment out of lbw decisions.

There was a really faint mark towards the back of the bat edge, but the snicko smudge was up front.

Either way, great decision making imo.

To be fair, they've also been in the oven for about three years.

It's a bit worrying that it was clear to a bunch of random people on an internet forum, as well as commentators sitting 100 metres away at the ground, both that it was clearly missing leg and that he clearly didn't hit it. Yet the paid professional acting umpire and 3rd umpire completely ****ed both those up.

Really makes you think

DRS has been horrible this series. Maybe gotta look at discarding it.

There also shouldn't be umpire above 40 years old or from working class families.

Brilliant effort by Anderson to average 27 over the series with an ER of 2.14, given the complete lack of support.

DRS has meant the right decision is getting made a lot more often, discarding it would be idiocy.

Agree with regard to working class families though

Haha, if MMarsh blocks this out...

More attendance to this series than 06/07.

Considerably more days of cricket played than 06/07 though
